Breakfast Tray Bake

40 min
2 portions

The ultimate lazy weekend breakfast — bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and eggs all roasted together in one pan. Barely any washing up.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grab a large oven-safe dish or a baking tray.

  2. 2

    Quarter the mushrooms, halve the cherry tomatoes, and toss them into the dish along with the cocktail sausages.

  3. 3

    Cut each bacon slice in half and spread them over the top. Put the dish in the oven at 200 °C for about 20 minutes, until the bacon starts to crisp up.

  4. 4

    Take the dish out of the oven and spoon the chili beans evenly over everything.

  5. 5

    Make four small wells and crack an egg into each one. Put it back in the oven for 6–8 minutes until the egg whites are just set. If you want runny yolks, prop the oven door open a crack for those last few minutes.

  6. 6

    Scatter the finely chopped chives over the top and serve straight from the dish.

Tips from the kitchen

  • Spread the mushrooms, tomatoes and sausages in a single layer. If they're piled up they steam instead of roasting, and you lose the browning on the sausages.
  • Make the wells for the eggs proper dips, pushing the beans and veg aside down to the pan. The egg stays put and sets evenly instead of running across the tray.
  • Eggs go from runny to solid fast in a hot oven. Start checking at 6 minutes and pull the dish the moment the whites are set but still wobbly in the middle.
  • The chives go on at the very end, off the heat. Add them too early and they wilt and lose their bite.
  • Cut the bacon in half before laying it over the top so every forkful gets a piece, and so it crisps quicker than full slices would.

Ways to vary it

  • Swap the chili beans for plain baked beans if you want it milder, especially good if kids are eating.
  • A handful of baby spinach stirred through when you add the beans wilts down nicely in the residual heat.
  • Halved chipolatas work in place of the cocktail sausages if that's what you've got in the fridge.

Storage & leftovers

Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days, though the eggs are best eaten the day you make them. The bacon, sausages and beans freeze fine for a month, but leave the eggs out as they go rubbery. Reheat in a 180 °C oven for about 10 minutes rather than the microwave, which turns the bacon soft.

What to serve with it

Thick toast or fried bread to mop up the bean sauce and any runny yolk. A pot of strong tea or coffee on the side.
