Maybe the crust could be made from fried bread?

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?

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.

Is the bacon and black pudding free range? 😉

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.

No it's not, I've helped make it. Donkey and horse is what goes into Tesco's budget burgers.

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.

Top cooking OP 🙂

This is what the internet was invented for. You anti hash-browners are weird, they're well nice. Who cares if they're American?

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.

Exactly. Tomatoes are American, too.

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 😐
