My husband does not like grilled bacon and so this is what I do....

Grill the sausage and tomatoes.

Heat a non-stick pan and to the DRY pan add the bacon to cook over a reasonable but not fierce heat , this will allow the fat to come out of the bacon.
Into the very little layer of fat that comes out of the bacon , add the egg to 'fry'. A lid on the frying pan will cook the top layer of the egg if you like it cooked 'easy-over' !

Black pudding...in the pan beside the eggs.( I never cook black pudding myself but I know it will happily cook like this in almost no fat )

For the fried bread (fried slice ) get a slice of bread and give it a very very thin scrape of the butter of equivalent on either side and pop this into the almost dry frying pan beside the egg to cook.

Baked Beans..heat gently in a sauce pan.

Mushrooms , well I only like mushrooms cooked lightly and so I slice them and cook them very lightly after the egg has been removed.

What else did you mention.... Hash Browns ..... Hash Browns .....on a 'Full English Breakfast ' Terry ? ...sorry ..not in my house !


I never think of Crumpets as part of a full English breakfast either.

Poached eggs sounds cool and I agree, yummy too. Maybe better tasting than fried, so a great idea there. What about grilled gammon steak sliced to bacon size bits. Is this healthier and would it be as tasty. What about black pudding, is that only unhealthy if fried?

For those that get cross and irritated at my using capitals in the title.

Firstly, are there not worse things headlined in the papers going down on this messed up planet than my use of capitals for a headlines?

Secondly, it helps my dyslexic eyes to notice them if they stand out.

Thirdly, they stand out. (I'm not one to hide in the shadows)

Forthly, I was always taught (back in the day) (and probably because of my illegible, illigitimate scrawl) to use capitals for a title.

Sorry if I offend (truely), and I can see this driving a wedge somewhere but I'll stick with the CAPS. Sorry.

Great post. Very helpful. Cheers honey. Love the lid on eggs to cook top. Usually have to splash them with hot fat to cook tops.
Taking notes on these knowledgable ideas. Cheers again.

I have had kuorn sausages, steamed mushrooms, granary toast, microwaved bacon (which leave the fat off on the paper) and poached egg.
