Method

  1. Finish

    Start meats

    Cook sausages slowly in a pan until golden. Add bacon and cook until crisp.

    Why: Slow sausage cooking renders fat and browns evenly.

  2. Finish

    Cook sides

    In the same pan, cook mushrooms and cut-side-down tomatoes. Warm beans separately.

    Why: Meat fat flavours the vegetables.

  3. Finish

    Fry eggs and toast

    Fry eggs to preference. Toast bread and butter generously.

    Why: Runny yolks are traditional.

  4. Serve

    Plate

    Arrange everything on warm plates and serve immediately.

    Why: Timing is everything โ€” everything should hit the plate hot.
