Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken Sausages

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken sausages and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked.
Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil or butter if needed.
Add sliced mushrooms and garlic.
Season with salt, pepper, and thyme (if using).
Sauté for 5-6 minutes, until mushrooms are browned and tender.
Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Warm the Baked Beans

In a small saucepan, pour in the baked beans.
Add Worcestershire sauce and smoked paprika.
Heat over low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Keep warm until ready to serve.

Step 4: Pan-Roast the Tomatoes

Wipe down the skillet and add a touch of oil.
Place tomato halves cut-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5: Fry the Bread

Heat 2 tbsp oil or butter in the skillet over medium heat.
Add bread slices and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
Drain on paper towels.

Step 6: Cook the Eggs

In the same skillet, crack the eggs one by one.
Fry to your preferred doneness—sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled.
Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7: Assemble and Serve

On each plate, place one or two chicken sausages.
Add a serving of mushrooms, a spoonful of baked beans, and a tomato half.
Top with a fried egg and a slice of crispy fried bread.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

Preheat Your Skillet – A hot pan gives everything a better sear and texture.
Batch Cook – Use a big pan and cook items in stages to keep everything hot.
Drain Fried Bread – This keeps it crispy and not greasy.
Use Good-Quality Sausages – The flavor of your breakfast really depends on it.
Cook Eggs Last – Eggs are best hot and fresh, so make them right before serving.
