How to make Full English Breakfast in an Air Fryer
Preheat your Air Fryer to 180°C (360°F) for 1-2 minutes before adding your ingredients. This ensures optimal cooking conditions right from the start.
Prepare the Mushrooms and Sausages: Wash the mushrooms and slice them into two. Sprinkle salt and oil on the sliced mushrooms. Wrap the mushrooms in foil. Wrap the sausage in separate foil.
Cook the Mushrooms and Sausages: Place the separately wrapped foils in the main basket of the air fryer. These ingredients require the longest cooking time, approximately 10 minutes. Ensure there’s lots of air circulation around each piece for even cooking. Turn the wrapped foil when placing the following ingredients.
Cook the bacon: Arrange the bacon; it might overlap, but do not overdo it.
Prepare the Eggs: Break eggs in a Ramekin bowl or in a small, air fryer-safe dish, season as desired. My kids prefer scrambled eggs, so I usually just wait for a few seconds. You can skip the whisking. Place in the air fryer and continue to air fry everything for 3 – 4 minutes, but the exact time might vary depending on your air fryer model. For smaller air fryers, you might need to cook in batches. The bacon can be arranged over each other with a tong at this point.
Slice the tomatoes and place them in the air fryer. Open the foil to expose the mushrooms and sausage, ensuring that they cook to perfection.
Heat the beans: In another Ramekin bowl, add the desired amount of baked beans and continue to cook for another 2 – 3 minutes.
Serve immediately, combining all the components on a plate.
