Product Information

Vegan full English breakfast: use dairy-free butter to cook and scrambled tofu in place of the egg. Otherwise, this recipe is vegan.

While there are lots of individual elements to a British fry up, I’ve simplified this recipe as much as possible. So much so that this recipe is for a one-pan vegetarian English breakfast. Just follow my “timing” for when to add the various ingredients, and you’ll end up with a delicious cooked vegetarian breakfast and no massive pile of dishes! Condiments: you can’t have a traditional English breakfast without condiments – ketchup (I use homemade ketchup!)and brown sauce are most common. Bake the tomatoes : instead of pan-frying the tomatoes, you could bake them to wonderfully tender, caramelized perfection (and save some skillet space). Then, pop them in just before starting the remainder of the dish, and they should be ready just in time! Whether you’re enjoying this as a classic “hangover cure”, eating it in a cafe, making it for dinner (breakfast for dinner is the best, right?!), or just making it for breakfast (also great of course!), once you’ve made it once you’ll want it time and time again. While the egg is cooking, put the slices of bread in a toaster or toast under a preheated broiler (grill) for a few minutes (and on both sides, if using the broiler/grill) until golden. Butter the toast and cut the slices in half. Step 9

Full English Breakfast Recipe for a One-Pan British Fry-Up

I did this with the whole tomato; however, it’s custom to slice the tomato in half, so you can fry both sides. You can also use cherry tomatoes and fry them whole. Step 3: Add the remaining ingredients For a lighter vegetarian English breakfast: you can slightly lighten up this (already fairly light) English breakfast by making toast instead of fried bread. You can also minimize the butter usage to just the sauteed mushrooms and use minimal oil (or low-cal cooking spray) for the remainder of the dish. Halloumi: alternatively, instead of directly replacing the meat, you could use thin slices of halloumi. However, I’ve found that I prefer to use a griddle pan when making halloumi, so an extra pan may be needed (on the plus side, the tomato would also cook well on the griddle pan). Meanwhile, to heat the baked beans, you can either add them to the pan at the same time as the egg (to allow a couple of minutes to heat) or heat them in a separate saucepan.

Finally, sprinkle any additional salt and pepper over the ingredients in the pan and then serve while warm. You can serve it directly in the skillet (set on a heat-proof mat on the table)or first transfer it to a plate. Bake the tomatoes: instead of pan-frying the tomatoes, you could bake them to wonderfully tender, caramelized perfection (and save some skillet space). Then, pop them in just before starting the remainder of the dish, and they should be ready just in time!

Make sure to use a slotted spoon to scoop the bacon out of the pan, as you want to save that bacon fat to cook everything else in, beginning with the mushrooms. We use brown mushrooms here, as the various Asian style mushrooms wouldn’t work. Tea: while not on the plate (obviously), a Full English breakfast just wouldn’t be the same without a “cuppa.” I recommend English breakfast tea or Earl Grey. Otherwise, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice is the perfect accompaniment to this easy vegetarian breakfast. Then, add the butter and season the mushrooms with some rosemary (or herb of your choice), salt, and pepper. Stir and fry for a further 30 seconds. Step 2: Add the tomato/es Add a little additional butter (or oil) to the pan, if needed, and then add the bread to an empty part of the pan (alternatively, you can butter both sides of the bread first before adding to the pan). Fry gently for a couple of minutes until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, then flip over. Butter: I used butter to cook the various ingredients for more flavor. However, you could use neutral cooking oil if preferred, but butter is highly recommended. Use dairy-free butter for a vegan full English breakfast.

I have to confess that I cook each of the elements separately in a round flat bottomed wok, because I cook almost everything in a cook, but you’ll probably want to use a frying pan, griddle pan, flat grill plate, or skillet. It was the memory of that, and some of our favourite eggs dishes baked in tomato sauce, such as the Middle Eastern shakshuka, which inspired my take on the full English breakfast recipe. We like to cook the whites but leave the yolks soft and runny, partly because that’s how we prefer them, but also because if you need to leave the finished dish in the oven for a while before serving, they shouldn’t over-cook if you leave the oven on low. On the other side of the pan, put a tiny lug of oil and place a pile of mushrooms over it which you can rip up or leave whole. How to make a vegetarian full English breakfast. This hearty British fry-up combines sauteed mushrooms, tomato, beans, egg, toast, and more for the ultimate cooked breakfast. Best of all, though, this recipe is 100% meat-free, vegan optional, and is cooked in just one pan! (Vegan option included!)Alternatively, cook the large flat mushroom and/or the tomatoes in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C/Gas mark 6). Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over or add a pat (knob) of butter to the mushroom and season with salt and pepper before roasting for 12 to 15 minutes, until softened. If you are using the oven, begin roasting the mushroom and tomatoes a few minutes before frying the sausages and bacon. Once cooked, decrease the oven temperature to low for keeping everything warm as it is cooked. Step 6

Herbs: I used dried rosemary to sprinkle over the sauteed mushrooms. Feel free to swap this out with another dried herb or fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Baked beans: I used homemade baked beans– which can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer. If you want to use tinned beans, no problem, just make sure they’re British baked beans (not BBQ!). You can elevate their flavor with a dollop of mustard and a little vinegar. Meanwhile, add a dash of oil and pat (knob) of butter to another frying pan over medium heat. Add the button mushrooms and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened and turning golden. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and keep warm (adding to the dish with the sausages and bacon). If you are cooking a large flat mushroom, then add the oil and butter to the pan and fry the mushroom for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until softened and browned. Step 4 Store: Once prepared, it’s best to enjoy this vegetarian full English breakfast immediately! Recipe Tips and FAQs If you don’t have a Dutch oven, this is a good excuse to invest in one. While the much-coveted enamel-coated Le Creuset Dutch oven has been partly responsible for the Dutch oven craze of recent years – and is well worth the investment; they’ll last forever – you don’t need to spend a small fortune. The more affordable Lodge Dutch oven is a solid choice.

Ingredients

Gee, do you really think it takes so many instructions to fry up some bacon, eggs, sausage and toast? You've turned breakfast into more work than a three course dinner. Baked beans are really the basis of a classic British fry-up and they’re literally the foundation of my take on the full English breakfast, as the beans go in the Dutch oven first, and then the other ingredients go on top.
