Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 355°F and heat the grill pan until it's hot.

Step 2

Splash a little vegetable oil into the skillet and sauté the pork sausages in it (the sausages should be in natural casings, filled with a coarse minced meat flavored with sage; such sausages can sometimes be found in the "Azbuka Vkusa" and "Globus Gourmet" supermarkets, specifically those produced in Britain or made using British methods. If you can't find sausages with a sage aroma, feel free to use other pork sausages).

Step 3

As soon as the sausages are browned (if that's the right way to describe food that is turning brown), transfer them to a baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a skillet, add thin slices of bacon and fry them, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes almost like a crispy chip. Then, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat (this attention to detail might seem odd considering the fat content of this breakfast, but many people do it, perhaps not so much for dietary reasons as for aesthetic ones: to avoid leaving greasy brown stains from the bacon chips).

Step 5

In the leftover fat from the bacon and sausages, now you need to sauté the tomato, having removed the part that is commonly referred to as the "bottom" in Russian.

Step 6

Add canned kidney beans to the tomatoes, simply scooping them out of the jar. In the remaining space, place halved mushrooms and slices of blood sausage. Sauté everything, stirring or flipping occasionally.

Step 7

Meanwhile, lightly whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Heat another skillet (not a grill, just a regular flat or shallow pan) with some butter and pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook it, stirring continuously, so that a thin layer of egg curdles into a yellow, scrambled mass. Once there is no liquid left in the pan and the mixture turns into a uniform scramble, remove the pan from the heat.

Step 8

Place the fried eggs on a large plate. Remove the sausages from the oven and place them on the same plate. Add the tomato, beans, mushrooms, bacon, black pudding, and a slice or two of white bread to the plate as well. Pour some brown sauce over the dish and serve. For a drink to accompany this breakfast, only ale or porter seems suitable. At least during the time of Queen Victoria, when this tradition was established, those were the drinks that were enjoyed in the morning.
