The traditional English breakfast or a fry-up is a meal in itself. This is my version of the English breakfast with baked beans, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, and sunny-side-up eggs.

Instructions
Baked Beans
To prepare the baked beans, soak the beans overnight. Add in 1 tsp of salt and boil until they are cooked. You can also pressure cook them for four whistles.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add in the chopped onions and saute until translucent.
Add in the garlic paste and ginger paste. Mix well and saute for a minute.
Add in the tomato puree and the tomato sauce. Saute until the tomatoes are cooked.
Add in the Worcestershire sauce and the vinegar and mix well. Add in the chilli flakes. Mix well.
Now add in the beans and mix until they are well coated. You can add a bit of water if required. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Check the salt and add more if needed. The baked beans are ready to serve.
Sausages and Grilled Tomatoes
Prepare the tomatoes by cutting them into half and removing the eye.
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan. Keeping the flame on medium to low, add in the sausages and the tomatoes.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the tomatoes. Grill the tomatoes until done and until the sausages are colored. Remove them from the pan and keep aside.
Grilled Mushrooms
In the same pan, add in 1 tsp of butter. When the butter melts, add the mushrooms and grill until they slightly colorize.
Add in a tsp of vinegar to deglaze the pan. Check the salt and add more if needed. Remove and keep aside.
Eggs
Fry two eggs sunny side up in a tsp of oil.
Serving
Now arrange the elements on a plate and serve with toasted bread. The English breakfast is ready to serve.

Notes
Traditionally, Lima beans or navy beans are used for baked beans. I have used the readily available soya beans instead.
