Step 1

Place each mushroom cap stem-side down on a cutting board and slice straight down through the cap into 1/4-inch-thick slices, leaving the stem attached so slices stay together.

Step 2

Cut each tomato in half widthwise (from side to side, not top to bottom), creating two broad, flat halves that will sit face-down in the pan.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet (12-inch or larger) over medium heat for 1 minute until warm, then place the 4 sausages in a single layer on the pan.

Step 4

Cook the sausages, turning them every 2 minutes so all sides brown evenly, until the surface is deep golden-brown and cooked through, about 12–14 minutes total.

Step 5

Push the sausages to the side of the pan, then lay the 4 bacon rashers in a single layer in the empty space.

Step 6

Cook the bacon for 3–4 minutes until the edges are crispy and dark, then flip each rasher over and cook the other side for 2 minutes until also crispy.

Step 7

Remove the sausages and bacon from the pan and place them on a plate, leaving all the fat in the skillet.

Step 8

Place the mushroom slices in the fat in a single layer, spreading them across the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Cook the mushrooms over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring gently once halfway through, until they soften and turn light golden at the edges.

Step 10

Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan, then place the 2 tomato halves flat-side down in the empty space.

Step 11

Cook the tomatoes for 4–5 minutes until the flat bottom turns soft and slightly caramelized, then flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the mushrooms and tomatoes from the pan and add them to the plate with the sausages and bacon.

Step 13

Pour the baked beans directly from the can into a small saucepan and set it over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and steaming, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 14

Return the skillet to medium heat and crack both eggs into the fat, spacing them apart so they do not touch.

Step 15

Cook the eggs for 3–4 minutes until the whites turn opaque and set, but the yolks still jiggle slightly when you gently shake the pan.

Step 16

While the eggs cook, place the 2 bread slices in a toaster and toast on a medium-high setting until the surface is golden-brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 17

Remove the toast from the toaster and spread 0.5 tablespoon of butter on each slice, letting it melt into the warm toast.

Step 18

Using a spatula, slide the fried eggs onto one side of a large plate, then arrange the sausages, bacon, mushrooms, and tomatoes on the other side.

Step 19

Pour the warm baked beans into a small pile next to the eggs, then place the buttered toast at the top or side of the plate.
