Oven-baked full English breakfast

Every part of a proper fry-up, cooked in the oven: lean sausages, back bacon, roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, eggs baked until just set, and a pan of beans on the side. No splattering hob and no pile of pans, and the plate is as generous as ever.
Ingredients
- 8 (about 400 g) raw turkey sausage, lean, chicken or turkey
- 400 g crimini mushroom, halved
- 4 large tomatoes, halved
- 1½ tsp canola oil
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- a pinch salt
- 8 rashers canadian bacon, fat trimmed
- 4 eggs
- 1 tin (415 g) reduced sodium baked beans, reduced sugar and salt
Steps
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line two large roasting trays with baking paper; there is a lot to fit in, and crowded mushrooms steam instead of browning.
- Spread the sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes (cut side up) across the trays, drizzle the mushrooms and tomatoes with the oil and season them with the thyme, pepper and salt. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Turn the sausages, add the bacon rashers in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes more, until the bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp at the edges.
- Push everything together to make four gaps, crack an egg into each (or into small greased dishes set on the trays) and bake for 6–8 minutes, until the whites are completely set; for fully firm yolks, 160°F. Meanwhile, warm the beans in a small pan. Check the sausages are browned and 165°F in the middle, then serve everything straight from the trays.
Good to know
Will the eggs run all over the tray?
On a crowded tray they can. A small ovenproof dish or a few greased ramekins set among the sausages keeps them neat, and lining the tray with baking paper helps hold them in place.
What about toast?
A slice of wholemeal toast per person is the natural partner. It is not in the ingredient list, so add it if you want it.
Can I add black pudding or hash browns?
Yes, they go on the tray with the sausages. Both are richer than the rest of the plate, so a slice or two goes a long way.

As written, 1836 kcal goes into the pot and 2074 g of ingredients comes out as about 1700 g of food: 108 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
