#SimpleFacts Recipe – Alternative English breakfast
The beloved English breakfast, a timeless legacy many Brits hold dear. The hearty combination of fried bacon and sausage, eggs, buttered toast and the rest has been a much-loved weekend treat for centuries.

Fortunately, we’re not afraid to challenge the stately breakfast, so here’s a nutritious alternative to help you achieve a better-balanced diet without sacrificing any flavour.
