English breakfast recipe

First you need to bake the sausages in the oven for 6 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees or fry on the grill with a little butter.

Next, grill the bacon until fully cooked.

While the bacon is browning, cut the tomato in half and also grill with butter.

Then we get potato pancakes. Grate the potatoes, salt and squeeze well. Next, in a separate bowl you need to mix the potato mass with an egg and two tablespoons of flour. Fry all this in a pan until golden brown for two to three minutes on each side.

Put the finished potato pancakes, sausage and bacon on a napkin to get rid of excess fat.

Well, then fry the scrambled or scrambled eggs in a pan, add the porcini mushrooms and heat the beans in a saucepan in tomato sauce.

We put it all on one plate – and you’re done!
