Ingredients

Main

  • 2 pcs sausages
  • 3 pcs bacon rashers
  • 2 pcs mushrooms
  • 2 pcs tomatoes
  • 1 slice black pudding
  • 2 pcs eggs
  • 1 slice bread slice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.01 tsp salt
  • 0.01 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • tomato ketchup or brown sauce

Directions

  • Heat a flat grill or large pan over low heat and brush sparingly with olive oil.
  • Add sausages to the coolest part of the grill and cook slowly about 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden; after 10 minutes increase heat to medium if cooking other ingredients.
  • If short on space, fully cook sausages first and keep warm in the oven.
  • Snip small cuts into the fatty edge of the bacon and fry 2–4 minutes each side until preferred crispiness; keep warm if needed.
  • Brush dirt from mushrooms, trim stalk flush with top, season with salt and pepper, drizzle a little olive oil, place stalk-side up and cook 1–2 minutes, turn and cook further 3–4 minutes without moving too much.
  • Cut tomatoes across centre (or half plum tomatoes), remove green core, season, drizzle with olive oil, place cut-side down and cook 2 minutes, turn and cook further 2–3 minutes until tender.
  • Slice black pudding into 3–4 slices, remove skin and cook 1.5–2 minutes each side until slightly crispy.
  • For fried bread, heat a frying pan to medium, cover base with oil, cook bread 2–3 minutes each side until golden and crispy; add butter after turning for richer flavour.
  • For fried eggs, break eggs into the pan with fried bread, wait 30 seconds, add a knob of butter and baste eggs with melted butter, cook to preferred doneness, season and remove gently.
  • Serve all components on warm plates immediately with a squeeze of ketchup or brown sauce.
