Step-by-step recipe:
Step 1:
Fry the bacon in a dry frying pan until crisp. Transfer to a plate. This is the basis of the English breakfast: bacon and eggs.
Step 2:
In the same pan (with the remaining bacon grease), crack the eggs. Fry until the whites are set, leaving the yolks runny. Season with salt and pepper. This will make classic English scrambled eggs.
Step 3:
In a second pan, lightly toast the buns. Use more vegetable oil if needed—just a few small pats of oil will do the trick for a light browning.
Step 4:
In a separate bowl, heat the beans in tomato sauce for 3–5 minutes. Don't let them cook down—they should remain whole and soft.
Step 5:
Assemble an English breakfast: place eggs, bacon, beans, and toasted bread rolls on a plate. Garnish with finely chopped green onions. It's a real morning meal!
Cooking tips:
If you don't want to use bacon grease, add a little vegetable oil when frying eggs.
For variety in your breakfast, you can add sausages or mushrooms to your bacon and eggs.
Lentils can easily be substituted for beans, but the traditional English breakfast calls for red beans in tomato sauce.
Serve everything hot – this is the key to the perfect morning meal.
