🔥 Step-by-Step Cooking Order (Timing is Key!)
The secret to a perfect breakfast plate is cooking everything in the right order.
1️⃣ Start with the Sausages (15–18 mins)
-
Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat.
-
Add 1 tbsp oil.
-
Place sausages in the pan.
-
Cook slowly for 15–18 minutes, turning every few minutes.
-
They should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 70°C / 160°F).
-
Don’t rush — slow cooking keeps them juicy.
-
Remove and keep warm.
2️⃣ Cook the Hash Browns (10–12 mins)
You can:
-
Oven bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 mins
OR -
Pan fry in oil for 4–5 mins per side until golden and crispy.
Set aside on paper towel.
3️⃣ Cook the Bacon (5–6 mins)
-
Use the same pan (keep the flavor!).
-
Cook bacon over medium heat.
-
Fry until crispy at edges but still slightly chewy.
-
Turn once.
Remove and keep warm.
4️⃣ Sauté Mushrooms (5 mins)
-
In the same pan, add mushrooms cut side down.
-
Cook 2–3 mins until browned.
-
Flip and cook another 2 mins.
-
Season with salt & pepper.
5️⃣ Grill the Tomatoes (3–4 mins)
-
Add tomatoes cut-side down.
-
Cook until slightly blistered and softened.
-
Lightly season.
6️⃣ Fry the Eggs (3–4 mins)

Reduce heat to medium-low.
-
Add a little butter or oil.

Yolk is still runny (like in photo)
