tonight's midnight meal
midnight English breakfast
Ingredients · tap to check
- 2-3 breakfast sausages
- 1-2 eggs
- 2 slices of good bread
- butter, softened
- salt + black pepper
- a little oil for the pan
- hot coffee + a splash of milk (for the pour)
The Way
- Fry the sausages low and slow in a lightly oiled pan, turning until browned all over and cooked through — don't rush the heat.
- In the same pan, cook an egg to your liking; for the runny-yolk toast, keep it soft and just-set on the white.
- Butter the warm toast, slide the egg on top, and break the yolk so it runs down the bread. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour a proper coffee with a slow splash of milk, plate the sausages alongside, and eat it while everything's warm.
Questions
Can I make this without sausages?
Yes — the runny-yolk toast and coffee alone make a lovely mini breakfast. Add mushrooms or beans if you want it fuller.
How do I get the yolk perfectly runny?
Cook the egg on medium-low just until the white sets; pull it off the heat while the yolk still jiggles, then break it over warm toast so it keeps flowing.
