Notes :

• Make sure you have all the necessary utensils: large frying pan, small pot, toaster or oven, knife, cutting board, and a spatula.
• Wash the mushrooms and tomato well before cutting them to remove any dirt or residue.
• If you prefer the sausages more browned, you can slightly increase the cooking time, but make sure they are well cooked inside.
• You can use smoked or unsmoked bacon, depending on your personal preference.
• If the mushrooms release a lot of water while cooking, raise the heat a bit so that the liquids evaporate and they become nicely browned.
• For extra flavor, you can add some chopped garlic while cooking the mushrooms.
• If you wish, you can season the tomatoes with a little salt and pepper before cooking them.
• If you don't have beans in tomato sauce, you can use cooked beans and add a little tomato sauce or ketchup.
• You can use any type of sandwich bread, but whole grain or multigrain bread adds a healthier touch.
• If you don't have a toaster, you can toast the bread in the frying pan with a little butter.
• Adjust the amount of butter on the toasted bread according to your taste preference.
• If you prefer the eggs well cooked, let them cook a little longer until the yolks are firm.
• You can prepare the tea in advance and keep it warm in a teapot or thermos.
• If you don't have milk, you can use plant-based milk as an alternative in the tea.
• Arrange the ingredients on the plate attractively for better presentation.

Tips :

• Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start cooking
• Wash the mushrooms well to remove any dirt residue
• Use a sharp knife to slice the mushrooms into even pieces
• For better flavor, choose good quality sausages
• Cook the sausages over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside
• Choose smoked bacon for a more intense flavor
• To make the bacon crispy, drain the excess fat while it cooks
• Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms so they brown evenly
• The tomato can be roasted in the oven if you prefer a more intense flavor
• Use canned beans in tomato sauce to save time, but if you prefer, you can make your own tomato sauce
• Toast the bread just before serving so it is hot and crispy
• Use real butter for a more authentic flavor on the toast
• Fry the eggs over medium-low heat so the yolks remain runny but the whites are well cooked
• If you prefer the eggs more cooked, cover the pan while cooking
• Serve the breakfast immediately after cooking so all elements are hot
• Accompany with HP sauce or ketchup if desired, as they are popular condiments with English breakfast
• Use a non-stick pan to make cooking and cleaning easier
• If you want an extra touch, you can add black pudding to the breakfast
• Make sure to heat the beans well, but do not let them boil to avoid drying out
• Serve English tea in a teapot to keep it warm longer
• For a lighter breakfast, reduce the amount of bacon or sausages
• If you like your bread crispier, toast it in the oven instead of the toaster
• Milk in English tea is usually added to taste, try different amounts until you find your preference
• Sugar in tea is optional but is generally added to taste after the milk.
