Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 slices streaky or back bacon
  • 1 cup baked beans (canned or homemade)
  • 4 slices of bread for toast
  • 1 medium tomato, halved
  • 4 button mushrooms (optional)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for cooking and spreading)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for mushrooms or tomato)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare Ingredients : Slice the tomato in half and clean the mushrooms. Open the baked beans and set aside. Lightly butter the bread slices for toasting later.
  • Step 2: Cook the Bacon : Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon slices and cook until crisp or to your preferred doneness (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
  • Step 3: Cook the Eggs : In the same skillet, fry eggs in bacon fat or butter. Cook sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled as preferred. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Step 4: Prepare the Tomatoes and Mushrooms : In the skillet or a separate pan, add a little olive oil or butter. Fry tomato halves cut-side down for 2–3 minutes. Cook mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until golden and tender.
  • Step 5: Heat the Baked Beans : Place beans in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 6: Toast the Bread : Toast bread slices in a toaster or under a grill until golden. Spread lightly with butter if desired.
