Part 5/9:
Crossing the Atlantic to the UK, the Full English breakfast is a hearty, soul-warming meal. It typically includes bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, eggs (fried or poached), and toasted bread. Each component is carefully cooked to create a balanced and satisfying plate.
Highlights:
Sausages flavored with mace and nutmeg, paired with crispy bacon.
Tomato-based baked beans, often sweetened and seasoned with ketchup and HP sauce.
Mushrooms sautéed in bacon fat add umami richness.
Preparation Advice:
Timing is crucial—bacon and sausages are cooked first to retain heat, while baked beans are kept warm in a low oven. Eggs are often poached or fried with precise heat control for the perfect yolk.
