Full English Breakfast For One Food

FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Cook the bacon, sausages and mushrooms in a large nonstick skillet over a medium heat, turning occasionally, until well browned, about 8 minutes. Make room in the skillet so the tomatoes can sit directly on its surface and cook for 2 minutes.
• Create 4 "wells" in the skillet around the perimeter and one in the center. Crack the eggs into the wells and tilt the skillet around so the whites go under all the other ingredients. Cook until the eggs just start to set, about 2 minutes. Put the lid on and continue to cook until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for runny yolks. Season the eggs.
• Meanwhile, make the beans: Combine the beans, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan and cook over low heat until the beans are tender and flavors are combined, about 10 minutes.
• For the tea: Put the kettle on, and when it has boiled, pour into a teapot containing 4 English Breakfast tea bags and leave to steep. Put the bread in the toaster. When toasted, cut into triangles. Stand up so the slices stay crisp.
• To serve: Remove the lid from the skillet and tip the breakfast onto a serving board. Sprinkle over the parsley. Put the beans in a pretty bowl or handled cup.
• Arrange the toast on the board. Put ramekins of ketchup, butter, and marmalade on the board. Add some milk to a mug or cup and pour some strong tea from the teapot, then stir.
• Breakfast is served.

HEALTHY FULL ENGLISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small saucepan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 8-10 mins, or until softened and starting to turn golden brown. Add the crushed garlic and paprika and cook for 1 min more, then add the beans, chopped tomatoes and brown sauce and bring to the boil. Lower to a simmer and cook for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
• Meanwhile, toss the mushrooms, thyme and cherry tomatoes in a roasting tin with the remaining garlic and oil. Roast for 12 mins until the mushrooms and tomatoes are soft, then remove from the oven and cover to keep warm. Turn the grill to its highest setting. Put the chipolatas on a foil-lined baking sheet and grill for 4-5 mins on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil and swirl vigorously with a wooden spoon to create a whirlpool. Once the whirlpool has almost subsided, tip in one egg, then lower the heat and gently cook for 3 mins. Scoop out with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining eggs. Serve the roasted veg with the sausages, eggs and beans, season and scatter with thyme leaves.

THE ULTIMATE MAKEOVER: FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Lay the bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes on a foil-lined tray. Brush the tops of the mushrooms with 3 tsp of the oil and both sides of the bread with the remaining oil. Set aside. Heat the grill to very hot. Lay the sausages on a small foil-lined tray (best not to prick good-quality sausages or they may lose moisture). Grill for about 10 mins until cooked, turning occasionally.
• Meanwhile, three-quarters fill a small pan, and a wide, deep sauté pan with water. Bring both to the boil. Lower an egg into the small pan and remove after 30 secs. Crack the egg into a cup. Add vinegar to the larger pan then, using a wire whisk, swirl the water around to create a whirlpool. Remove the whisk and slowly tip the egg into the centre of the whirlpool (see top picture). When the water comes back to the boil, remove the pan from the heat, cover and leave for 3 mins, then remove the egg. Place in a bowl of warm water while you cook the other egg - or cook both eggs an hour ahead, leave in a bowl of iced water, then reheat for 1½ mins in simmering water before serving.
• Meanwhile heat a griddle pan to very hot. Place the tomatoes, bacon and mushrooms under the grill for 3-4 mins without turning. At the same time, lay the bread on the griddle pan, cook until crisp, about 1 min each side. Drain everything on kitchen paper.
• Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a cloth. Arrange everything on a plate and serve with the juice and fruit.
