Ingredient Notes

The recipe calls for a ready-made pie crust, making it quick and convenient. We’ll use traditional British sausages lending the tart a rich and savory flavor. Eggs are then used to bind everything together, and of course, no English breakfast would be complete without beans, adding a hearty and fulfilling component to the tart.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by lining a pie dish with the crust. Then brown the sausages in a pan, slice them, and place them onto the crust. Beat the eggs, pour over the sausages, and evenly distribute the beans on top. Bake it in a preheated oven until the eggs are set and the crust is golden. It’s that simple!

Things I’ve Learned

You can use any type of sausage you like. Try using baked beans in tomato sauce for extra flavor. Also, do not overbake the tart to avoid a dry texture.
