Final excuse is simple, I didn't make it. It was in a cafe and i thought it was worth trying. It was.

DrP - I've shown everyone at work your handiwork, and it provoked gasps of awe, followed by a moment of silent contemplation as the shear genius of it was mentally (though unfortunately not physically) digested.

I think you could, and should take this one stage further with the full english pie sandwich!

Nobel Prize for Gastronomic Fabulousness.

Just to avoid going back over all that, how long and at what temperature for the oven?

I'm definitely going to do this one.

Well done. The evolution MUST include black pudding and a subtle brown sauce flavour.

How about a dash of Worcestershire Sauce to liven the beans up?

My infamous Full English Omelette Toasted Sandwich covers much of this territory.

Fry lots of chunks of chorizo and bacon until crispy, add brown pudding and cook for a bit longer, then take them out and fry a good number of mushrooms in the oil (lots comes out of the chorizo). Ad some cubed boiled potato that you've got left over in the fridge.

Take the mushrooms/potatoes out of the pan, add in your beaten egg, cook until starting to thicken, add all pre-cooked ingredients.

Fire up the George Foreman, get some decent brown bread ready

Once omelette is cooked through, put as much as is humanly possible in the Foreman and squeeeeeze it shut.

Cook until toasted, serve with tomato ketchup

Possibly the finest hangover treatment possible, and all done in under 10 minutes.

baked beans are pushing the envelope when it comes to including "full English" in the description (IMO they are American and an abomination when added to a proper full English breakfast).

But [b]"chorizo"[/b] FFS man, get a grip, take a cold shower, go outside and give yourself a stern talking to, chorizo has no place in the same room as a full English breakfast, never mind actually on the same plate.

An Italian friend of mine once urged me to do a little Anglo-Italian fusion cooking, so I made a full english lasagne... I modestly thought it was magnificent.

I now know what I'm trying next!

Oh for heaven's sake, think of it as strongly smoked bacon and deal with it. A little goes a long way, and it's too nice to ignore. If you can have Danish bacon, surely Spanish sausagebacon is allowable?

Croma in Manchester do an 'Inglese Pizza' - Bacon, free range egg, Cumberland sausage, Bury black pudding, mozzarella, Worcestershire Sauce and tomato.

jota180 adds a real flourish with the fried bread!

I've sent a link to this inspired work to my daughter who is shortly going on a residential with other senior managers. They are cooking for themselves in some bijou retreat near Bath. If she produces this her career will go stratospheric and she can keep me in the style to which I wish to become accustomed.

I was thinking of swapping the pastry topping with a hash brown/rosti topping perhaps?

I was just going to suggest this, along with black pudding and a runny yolked thing would make perfection. And brown sauce.

Looks great, must find some bacon.

That pastry top needs to be egg washed to give it a nice brown colour 😉

Other than that..... where can i buy one? 😛

Cooking times....

Baking the crust, 170 for 15 min
Baking the pie, about 190 for 30-40 min (milk the pastry to stop burning)

Maybe, just maybe, I could get away with boiled egg inside, with a raw egg on top prior to cooking, thus baking in a 'fried' style??

No it's not

Yes it is, the Spaniards take the donkeys to the top of a church and then throw them off the tower
Whatever they scrape up get's made into chorizo

They do like a bit of blood letting in the name of religion

Agree with the above as no need for Hash Brown , its American and not English.
Also ditch the bloody Black Pudding idea, its Scottish and not English.

Full English Breakfast Pie- the clue is in the name.

you would need something to contain it and stop the white bit running everywhere [hash brown boat??] IMHO

PS as a veagn this may not be my area of expertise but even I told the tale of the pie to a riding buddy tonight top effort

Definately add some fried potato's, and a dash of worcestershire and HP sauce and it would be even better IMHO that is.

Hash browns and pie are nice in the right context, much like French kissing and small dogs. The problems start when you combine the two.

Tomatoes have been grown in Britain since the 16th century, and have earned their place in the traditional English breakfast.

Hash browns, baked beans and other more modern usurpers haven't. By all means add then to your breakfast if you wish, but that's all it will be, a breakfast, it will not be a glorious "full English breakfast!"

Oh if we're going 'American' why not serve it with ice cream, a 9mm and maple syrup too?

🙄

Black pudding is Scottish? Like curry is English yeah 😐

Black Pudding isn't Scottish but one of the best comes from Stornoway. (Had some on Sunday - after climbing Ben Nevis.)

A local restaurant used to do a main dish with BOTH Bury and Stornoway black pudding. It was excellent.

I had the MOABB* from the Skyline cafe at Afan and gave up on the bread and just concentrated on the fry up contained within. The bap was huuuuuuge.

* Mother Of All Breakfast Baps - basically a fry up in a massive bap.

Brilliant thread, inventive genius at its best. I feel some cooking coming on this weekend but the pie needs a fried egg on top 🙂

The full English pasty sounds like the ultimate beach-side meal. Get it done!

Eric's Cafe near Tremadog did / does a mean breakfast. You need it after a night in one of the camping barns.

Sir, I doff my cap to you.

A raw egg cracked in could work, like a baked egg. Perhaps boiling it for a couple of minutes a la Heston's scotch egg?

Well, believe it or not the pie lasted for 2 sittings! Was finished off yesterday tea time, and was every bit as delicious as the first time round!!

Having realised just how simple the pastry was to make, I feel a few more "adventures into pie land" coming on!!

Fish and chip pie was at the back of my mind too, as is the "sunday roast pie"!!

Get cooking over the weekend chaps/chapesses, and post your efforts here!

TJ has given me the inkling of a regional variant. The Ulster Fry pie, potato bread for the crust,bound with raw egg. Sausage (the Maghera McKee variety), bacon and fried egg inside. Soda and wheaten bread top with brown sauce inside. Watch this space!

creamegg - where could one acquire one of these wonderful creations.

I will be cooking DrP's creation on Monday evening (as every Monday is 'Pie Monday' in or house. with some subtle variations of course. I live in the republic of Bury, so the concept of having no black pudding involved might provoke a lynch mob

creamegg - I was wondering why you would throw a perfectly decent pasty onto a stone floor, having seen binners photo, I now get it.

Right, going to try Drp's pie with the addition of blackpudding. I'm in a turmoil as our butcher makes 6 varieties of sausage, I may go for the leek and pork one.
Also going to try a raw egg over the top (but underneath the pastry), hope it cooks.
