Method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 180°C fan

    20 min

    Heat the oven to 180°C fan. Put a wire rack over a baking tray. Brown the sausages in a frying pan with 1 tsp oil for 6-8 minutes, then transfer to the rack and bake for 18-22 minutes until at least 75°C in the centre.

  2. 02

    Put the beans and Worcestershire sauce

    10 min

    Put the beans and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Heat gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then cover on the lowest heat.

  3. 03

    In the sausage pan

    5 min

    In the sausage pan, cook the black pudding for 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven rack for the final 5 minutes of sausage cooking.

  4. 04

    Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan

    8 min

    Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Put tomatoes cut-side down on one side and mushrooms on the other. Season with half the salt and pepper. Cook tomatoes for 4-5 minutes and mushrooms for 7-8 minutes, adding 10g butter to the mushrooms near the end.

  5. 05

    In the second frying pan

    5 min

    Toast the bread and butter it. Heat the remaining oil and 10g butter in the cleanest frying pan over medium heat. Fry the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites set; spoon hot fat over the whites but not the yolks if necessary. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

  7. 07

    Warm four large plates briefly
