British Full English Breakfast

This recipe is for the real thing with one exception, black (blood) pudding has been removed to protect the innocent. This is definitely a weekend dish as it is very heavy but also oh-so good.

Instructions

Grill Bacon - Cut a few notches along the bacon's fat. Put bacon in a large skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook until both sides are crispy but not burned. Transfer to paper towels.
Heat 4 large plates in the oven then move to the counter to be filled as items are cooked.
Fry Bread, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms - In same skillet, fry 4 bread slices until they become crispy. Transfer to center of each plate. Add tomato halves and mushrooms to skillet and fry a short time, 3-4 minutes. Transfer a tomato half and a few mushrooms next to fried bread on each warmed plate.
Fry Sausages - Fry sausages in same pan until cooked through and browned. Move to paper towels.
Toast Things - Toast 4 slices, if using. Move to hot plate. Toast 4 slices of bread and move to a small plate or basket. Cover. Microwave baked beans at the same time and add a scoop of beans to each plate.
Fry Eggs - Fry 2 eggs per person in a light buttered large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Cook them sunny side-up so the yolk leaks into everything. As soon as whites are no longer runny, you're there. Place 2 eggs over the fried toast in the middle of each plate.
Assemble and Serve - Put out butter, orange juice, jam and marmalade, tea or coffee, salt and pepper, the toast, and maybe ketchup, Tabasco, and HP Brown sauce (if you can get it).
Arrange sausage and bacon on plates and serve.
