Full English Breakfast Traybake
A Full English breakfast traybake with packed bacon, sausage, sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, hash browns and eggs, it really does have it all! The perfect complete breakfast all cooked together on one pan. This Sheet Pan Breakfast is Whole30, Paleo, Diary Free, Grain Free, Gluten Free, and Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal.
Since moving to the UK I have developed an appreciation for a full English breakfast. Bacon, sausage, sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, hash browns and eggs, it really does have it all.
A full English is a dish I only ever order in restaurants following one very unsuccessful attempt to make it at home. There are so many different components that timing has to be perfect, otherwise you are left with a plate of cold bacon and mushy hash browns. If unlike me, you can master the timing, you will be left with a mountain of pots and pans to clean afterwards, and lets be honest, the last thing you want to spend your Sunday morning doing is washing dishes.
I have been doing a lot of traybake dinners recently, and wanted to see if I could make it work with a full English Sheet Pan Breakfast. I am so excited to report that it was a complete success! You only use a baking tray and a spatula, that’s it. Absolutely no other pots or utensils are required so cleaning up is a breeze, especially if you line the baking tray with tinfoil.
By skipping the frying pans and baking everything in the oven, this Sheet Pan Breakfast becomes a lot healthier too, with just half a tablespoon of olive oil used to prepare everything. To make this breakfast SCD legal I made the hash browns with cubed butternut squash, but you could easily substitute it for potato or sweet potato depending on your diet.

Full English Breakfast Traybake
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash or sweet potato
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cup button mushrooms
- 5-7 strips of bacon or sausage if you prefer
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Place the butternut squash cubes, chopped onion and mushrooms on the baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil and salt. Toss with your hands until well coated. Spread them around the tray making spaces for the strips of bacon. Add the bacon and then bake everything in the oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes turn anything that looks like it might be burning and add the cherry tomatoes to the tray. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven and create spaces for 4 eggs. Try to build up walls around each space which will help to contain the egg.
- Crack each egg on to the tray being sure that you do not break the yolk. Gently return the tray to the oven and bake for a further 4 to 5 minutes until the whites have set.
- Before serving sprinkle the tray with the chopped parsley.

Thinking we needed a big breakfast for Sunday brunch I made this AND the pumpkin mug cakes and my husband couldn’t even eat his cake. I powered through! LOL! Both were awesome!
Looks wonderful. This will be my breakfast tomorrow 😍
What a great dish. Thank God no black sausage. I’ll add some baked beans once the oven baking is completed.
Haha I can promise that you will never ever find a recipe using black sausage on this site 🙂 Baked Beans would be a delicious addition, great idea!
I have not tried this but will make it very soon! We are in love with potatoes at my house. This recipe will be made with fresh potatoes or frozen hash browns (thawed)!
Potatoes would be a great addition to this recipe, especially if you can get them nice and crispy. I hope you enjoy! Let me know how it goes.
Omg…. I have been trying myself to come up with a way to do this. Going to make this soon! My grandparents came from Scotland to the U.S. and I’m working on trying to take all these traditional recipes and make them so I can eat them again. At least Scotch Egg was one I didn’t have to change! Lol. Thank you for this. Do you have a recipe for Pasties too?!
If your grandparents are Scottish you may want to throw in some blood pudding (which is really not my thing) but i’m sure they would love it 🙂 Unfortunately I don’t have a recipe for pasties….yet, will have to give one a try! Let me know if you make this.
Baking the eggs right on the tray? GENIUS! I bet everything gets deliciously creamy as well!
