This hearty breakfast plate brings together everything that makes a fry-up so satisfying — golden fried eggs with rich, just-set yolks, charred tomato halves with soft, sweet centers, and thick-cut mushrooms browned in butter until deeply savory. Warm, saucy baked beans add that classic comforting note, while thick slices of toast come out crisp and golden, perfect for mopping up every last bit of yolk and sauce. Everything cooks in stages and gets tucked into a warm oven, so the whole plate lands at the table hot and ready together. A dash of HP sauce or ketchup on the side is practically non-negotiable if you want the true diner experience. It's a filling, all-day-breakfast classic that fits neatly into a vegetarian spread without losing any of its cozy, plate-piled charm.

Chef's tip
Cook it only until crisp, adding a little oil to the pan - vegetarian bacon cooks much faster than pork bacon and can scorch. If the recipe simmers or bakes the bacon further, set it aside and stir it back in near the end.
4 pork sausages (such as cumberland or lincolnshire)
Chef's tip
Match the recipe's form: use link-style vegetarian sausages where they stay whole or sliced, and ground-style or crumbles where the recipe removes the casings. If the product is precooked, shorten the browning step and just heat it through.
1 can (14 oz) baked beans
2 medium tomatoes, halved crosswise
6 oz cremini or button mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as sunflower oil or vegetable oil)
4 large eggs
4 slices white or brown bread
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1
Heat your oven to its lowest setting (around 200°F / 95°C) and place a large baking sheet inside to keep finished components warm as you cook in batches.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning every 2–3 minutes, until deep golden brown on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (71°C), about 15–18 minutes total. Transfer to the warm baking sheet in the oven.
