One-Pan English Breakfast

Make a full English breakfast in one pan with cherry tomatoes, bacon, sausages, baked beans and eggs.

I don’t love going out for brunch because I actually prefer to make it at home. I find brunch in the city to be so expensive for something that isn’t that special. I’d rather go for dinner than for brunch when I can make an equally delicious eggs Benedict or poached eggs in tomato sauce at home. And I know I make the best chocolate chip pancakes so why bother going somewhere else?

Coffee on the other hand, that’s an offer I can’t say no to. I can’t get enough of a good Americano these days. A good cup of coffee is never to be missed.

I know, I’m basically going against the code of all 20-somethings who live and die by brunch. That’s ok, this is a position I am ready to take (and defend).

Now, what are the ingredients for a full English breakfast? Well, I went straight to the source of the countless English breakfasts I ate growing up–my British mother! Bacon? Check. Sausages? Check. Eggs? Duh. Baked beans? Yes. From a can? 100%. No one is making their own baked beans for breakfast. This recipe literally uses five ingredients. It’s that easy. AKA if you’ve been out the night before and need something to bring you back to life, we have a winning brunch recipe.

The big question was, mushrooms or no mushrooms? We decided it didn’t need mushrooms, and we also agreed that swapping out slices of tomatoes for blistered cherry tomatoes was a welcome change.

Now the English aren’t necessarily known for their food, but if there is one thing they are known for it’s their breakfast–and for good reason.

Depending on how hungry everyone is, I find that this recipe can serve four, especially if you’re serving it with toast. It’s pretty hearty and filling.
