Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Begin by warming the flat grill plate over a low flame on two burners if it can accommodate it.
  2. Lightly coat the grill plate with a small amount of light olive oil.
  3. Position the sausages onto the heated grill plate, placing them in the cooler area if needed.
  4. Allow the sausages to cook slowly for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden.
  5. After the initial 10 minutes, raise the heat to a medium level.
  6. If there's limited space, fully cook the sausages and keep them warm on a plate in the oven.
  7. Make a few small cuts along the fatty edge of the bacon.
  8. Lay the bacon directly onto the grill plate.
  9. Cook the bacon for 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  10. Keep the cooked bacon warm on a plate in the oven.
  11. Using a pastry brush, gently clean any dirt from the mushrooms.
  12. Trim the mushroom stems so they are even with the tops.
  13. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then drizzle a bit of olive oil over them.
  14. Place the mushrooms with the stems facing up on the grill plate.
  15. Cook the mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes before flipping them.
  16. Continue cooking the mushrooms for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, minimizing movement.
  17. Slice the tomatoes in half across the middle or lengthwise if you are using plum tomatoes.
  18. Using a small, sharp knife, remove the green 'eye' from each tomato.
  19. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, then drizzle a little olive oil on them.
  20. Set the tomatoes cut-side down on the grill plate.
  21. Cook the tomatoes for 2 minutes without moving them.
  22. Carefully flip the tomatoes over and season them again.
  23. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until they are tender yet still hold their shape.
  24. Slice the black pudding into 3 to 4 pieces and peel off the skin.
  25. Arrange the black pudding slices on the grill plate.
  26. Cook the black pudding for 1½ to 2 minutes on each side until they become slightly crispy.
  27. Heat a frying pan to medium heat in preparation for the fried bread.
  28. Pour oil into the frying pan to cover the bottom.
  29. Add the bread to the pan and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden.
  30. If the pan appears to be drying out, add a bit more oil.
  31. For added richness, include a small piece of butter after flipping the bread.
  32. Crack an egg directly into the pan alongside the fried bread.
  33. Let the egg sit for 30 seconds.
  34. Add a generous knob of butter to the pan.
  35. Gently splash or baste the egg with the melted butter.
  36. Cook the egg to your liking, season it, and carefully lift it out with a fish slice.
  37. Once all components are cooked, serve them on warm plates.
  38. Savor immediately with a generous drizzle of tomato ketchup or brown sauce.
