How to make a full English breakfast in the air fryer? ›

Beans, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, bacon, eggs, black pudding—of all the components that make up a classic full English breakfast, nearly nine out of 10 people in England agree that bacon is the most important.

Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.

A full English breakfast typically includes bacon, fried, poached or scrambled eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or buttered toast, and sausages. Black pudding, baked beans, and bubble and squeak are also often included.

Research suggest that ordering a full English breakfast may be more beneficial for weight loss than a breakfast high in carbohydrates such as cereal or fresh fruit. This is down to the fact that a full English is higher in protein, and will therefore leave you less likely to snack on other foods until lunchtime.

The Full English Breakfast (AKA The Fry Up)

The 'common' full English breakfast is a substantial meal consisting of back bacon, eggs, British sausage, baked beans, bubble and squeak, fried tomato, fried mushrooms, black pudding, with fried and toasted bread on the side.

A common traditional English breakfast typically includes back bacon sausage links (usually pork), eggs (fried, poached or scrambled), fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, bread, both or either fried bread and toast, black pudding, and baked beans.

Our closest thing to your full English breakfast would be eggs, bacon (streaky, not English) or pork sausage links or patties (rarely, both), hash browns or home fries, and toast or an English muffin. Americans don't eat beans for breakfast as a general rule, and very few eat black pudding at all.

One of the most popular traditional breakfast meals in the UK is the "Full English Breakfast" or "Full English," also known as a "Fry-up." It typically includes fried or scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast. Sometimes, it may also include black pudding and hash browns.

Hashtag, bring back the bubble.” Bubble and squeak is a usually mixture of mashed potatoes and cabbage that is mixed together and then fried. It may vary with the addition of other vegetables.

If your air fryer has a wire rack rather than a solid base, Fiona advises laying down a layer of foil or a specifically designed air fryer liner before cooking crumbed or sticky foods. This will ensure the coating isn't rubbed off during the shaking process and it makes cleaning easier too.

Airflow is essential to the machine, so while a paper towel is useful for cleaning, it should not be used while cooking food in the air fryer. It can restrict the airflow of the machine and even catch fire. It's important to remember that the air inside the air fryer can get very hot.

It's also a more sustainable option than lining your air fryer with aluminum foil. Lining your air fryer basket with a round of parchment paper is the perfect way to keep your air fryer squeaky clean and slash the time it takes to clean up. It just got a whole lot easier to make air fryer chicken drumsticks!

Putting foil in an air fryer is completely acceptable if you adhere to certain safety protocols. But ultimately, foil isn't the ideal material for an air fryer. Perforated parchment paper, a silicone liner, or a bare basket are all better options.

Place it in the fryer basket and preheat it for 5 minutes at 400°F (204 °C). Crack an egg to a small cup and slide the egg to the hot pan. Air fry at 350°F (177°C) for 3 minutes for a sunny side over easy fried egg. If you prefer a fried egg with medium egg yolk, add 1 more minute to the cooking time.

There are four main types of oven-safe dishware: glass, metal, cast iron, and ceramic, though not all glass is necessarily oven-safe (as we learned with Pyrex recently). Since air fryers are again, essentially mini convection ovens, any oven-safe dish should be safe in an air fryer.
