The English breakfast:rich and filling. In this article you can read how you can easily make such a delicious extensive breakfast yourself. A nice idea for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or the holidays. You can tailor the breakfast to your own wishes, for example by making it a vegetarian version.
Tasty and easy recipe for those who want to start the day differently than usual or for those who want to surprise their partner with a delicious breakfast in bed (nice idea for Mother's Day!)
No, it's not your own idea. This concerns the English breakfast or:full English breakfast.
It is not a breakfast that you should eat every day, because it is quite filling. If you opt for this breakfast every day, it would also be unhealthy, but every now and then it is really delicious. I've wanted to make this for a long time, so when the holidays came I surprised my family with an English breakfast. Since we all have our own preferences, I played with it a bit. One had no bacon, the other no mushrooms, etc. As a result, each family member received a 'personalized' English breakfast.
In England this breakfast is made on weekends, while at guesthouses you can just get it all day long. So also ideal for brunch or lunch for those who don't like an extensive breakfast).
I have only listed the ingredients globally because the amount can be adjusted to everyone's own taste. Very handy and you can vary endlessly:don't you want tomatoes? Then you just leave them out…..
The egg(s) can be prepared in various ways. Fried eggs are the most commonly used way, but you can also poach the eggs or make scrambled eggs from them.
The bacon must be fried, so that it becomes nice and crispy.
Cut the tomatoes into slices and fry them briefly in the pan on both sides. The mushrooms are also cut into thin slices and also briefly fried.
Warm up the white beans in tomato sauce. Also fry the sausages nicely brown all over.
Put slices of white bread in the toaster and toast (sounds logical 😉
The idea is to put all the above ingredients neatly next to each other on a plate and serve it as hot and fresh as possible. Add salt and pepper to give it some extra flavour.
A true Englishman will enjoy this breakfast with a cup of tea and a cloud of milk. But it is also fine with a delicious cup of Dutch coffee and, for example, a glass of orange juice. This also compensates for the unhealthy side of this breakfast, because most of it is fried and therefore quite fatty.
