Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Warm the flat grill plate on low heat over two burners if it can accommodate.
  2. Lightly coat the grill plate with some light olive oil.
  3. Place the sausages onto the heated grill plate, positioning them on the cooler section if needed.
  4. Cook the sausages gradually for approximately 15-20 minutes, making sure to turn them occasionally until they are golden.
  5. After the first 10 minutes, adjust the heat to medium.
  6. If there isn't enough room, cook the sausages fully 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 2-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  10. If necessary, keep the cooked bacon warm on a plate in the oven.
  11. Use a pastry brush to remove 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. Position the mushrooms with the stems facing up on the grill plate.
  15. Allow the mushrooms to cook for 1-2 minutes before flipping them.
  16. Continue cooking the mushrooms for an additional 3-4 minutes, minimizing movement.
  17. Slice the tomatoes in half across the middle or lengthwise if using plum tomatoes.
  18. Using a small, sharp knife, remove the green 'eye' from each tomato.
  19. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle a bit of olive oil over them.
  20. Put the tomatoes cut-side down on the grill plate.
  21. Let the tomatoes cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
  22. Carefully flip the tomatoes over and season again.
  23. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still maintain their shape.
  24. Slice the black pudding into 3-4 pieces and take off the skin.
  25. Lay the black pudding slices on the grill plate.
  26. Cook the black pudding for 1½-2 minutes on each side until they are slightly crispy.
  27. Heat a frying pan to medium for the fried bread.
  28. Pour oil into the frying pan to cover its base.
  29. Add the bread to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until it is crispy and golden.
  30. If the pan gets too dry, add a little more oil.
  31. For added richness, place a knob of butter in the pan after flipping the bread.
  32. Crack an egg directly into the pan with the fried bread and let it sit for 30 seconds.
  33. Add a generous knob of butter to the pan.
  34. Gently splash or baste the egg with the melted butter.
  35. Cook the egg to your liking, season it, and carefully lift it out with a fish slice.
  36. Once everything is cooked, arrange it on warm plates.
  37. Serve immediately with a generous squeeze of tomato ketchup or brown sauce.
