A Proper English Breakfast
If you have never treated yourself to a proper English breakfast, including the roasted tomato, mushrooms, and baked beans, you deserve to take an opportunity to make this for yourself and your loved ones. Be advised: this is a heavy breakfast; but it is so worth it. The following recipe provides about 4 servings, or 2 if you and your eating companion are really hungry.
Ingredients
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 4 Roma tomatoes, (cut in half)
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 Tbsp whole butter
- 4 thick strips of bacon
- 4 slices of toast of your choosing
- 6-8 white button mushrooms, (cleaned and quartered)
- 2 cloves of garlic, (finely minced)
- ½ cup of baked beans, (warmed up)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 whole eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp fresh chives, (finely-sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Place the tomato halves onto a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle the oregano, some kosher salt, and freshly-ground black pepper over the top of them.
- Roast the tomatoes for 30-40 minutes.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the bacon and fry until cooked through.
- Remove the bacon once it is cooked, and set it aside.
- Toast your bread in the toaster or oven until browned.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet you used to cook the bacon and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until they have softened completely and are tender.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the warmed baked beans to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, fry the eggs in olive oil until the desired doneness is reached.
- Assemble the breakfast by placing the toast on a plate and topping with the bacon, mushrooms, beans, and eggs. Place the roasted tomatoes on the side.
- Garnish with some finely-sliced chives.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
