Grilled Full English Breakfast on the Arteflame Grill

A Full English Breakfast is a hearty, traditional meal that includes a variety of components like eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans. In this grilled version, the Arteflame grill gives the ingredients a smoky twist while maintaining all the classic elements of this beloved dish.

Ingredients

• 4 pork sausages
• 4 slices of bacon
• 4 eggs
• 2 tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 can baked beans (warmed)
• 4 slices of black pudding
• 4 slices of bread (for toasting)
• Butter (for grilling and toasting)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Sides:

• Hash browns
• Fried potatoes
• Ketchup and HP sauce (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame Grill

Light the Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins under stacked firewood. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes. The center grate will be used for searing the sausages and black pudding, while the outer flat top will grill the vegetables, toast the bread, and fry the eggs.

Step 2: Grill the Sausages and Bacon

Place the sausages and bacon on the hot center grate. Grill the sausages for about 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked and browned. Grill the bacon until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Move both to the cooler outer edges of the grill to keep warm.

Step 3: Grill the Tomatoes and Mushrooms

On the outer flat top, drizzle a little butter and place the halved tomatoes cut side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Add the sliced mushrooms, cooking them in butter until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Cook the Black Pudding

Place the slices of black pudding on the center grate and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy on the outside and heated through.

Step 5: Fry the Eggs

Add a little more butter to the outer flat top and fry the eggs to your desired doneness—whether sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6: Toast the Bread

Butter the slices of bread and grill them on the flat top for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Step 7: Warm the Baked Beans

While the other ingredients cook, heat the baked beans in a small pan or on the flat top griddle until warmed through.

Step 8: Assemble the Full English Breakfast

Plate the grilled sausages, bacon, black pudding, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans. Serve the grilled toast on the side with butter, along with optional sauces like ketchup or HP sauce.

Grilling Tips

• Manage the heat: Use the outer flat top for lower, gentler heat to avoid burning the eggs and toast while keeping the sausages and bacon crispy on the center grate.
• Prep all ingredients in advance: Since you’re cooking multiple items simultaneously, have everything ready to go before you start grilling.
