What is the correct way to arrange an English breakfast on the plate?

There is no single correct arrangement, but the plate should feel deliberate and generous rather than haphazard or sparse. Components are traditionally placed so that they complement one another visually and practically, with eggs often positioned to allow the yolk to be broken over other items. The goal is a composed plate that signals completeness and care, not fine-dining precision or chaotic abundance.
