How we chose
Research-backed · reviewed Aug 2026
We compared exact half-sheet geometry, uncoated material, reinforced construction, heat limit, care, stable model identity, and the exact Amazon destination. Manufacturer specifications establish model 43100 and its UPC, while America's Test Kitchen reports comparative cooking and handling results. Kwilt has not baked with this pan.
Nordic Ware Naturals Half Sheet · 43100: Its 13-by-18-inch footprint gives this soft dough the intended thickness, and the uncoated aluminum supports browning on the oiled bottom. Trade-off: Hand washing is recommended, and acidic tomato left on uncoated aluminum can discolor or pit the surface over time.
Another workable path: Use another rimmed half sheet only if its outside dimensions are close to 13 by 18 inches. A smaller pan makes a thicker pizza and needs its own bake adjustment.

Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 4 servings

8 British-style pork sausages
8 rashers back bacon
8 slices black pudding
4 plum tomatoes, halved
12 ounces button mushrooms, halved
1 can (14 ounces) British-style baked beans
4 pasteurized large eggs
8 slices thick white or brown bread
3 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Kosher salt and black pepper
Brown sauce or tomato ketchup, for serving

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Put sausages on a and roast, turning once, until browned and 160°F, 25 to 30 minutes; do not prick them.
During the final 15 minutes, add tomatoes cut-side up and black pudding to a second tray. Heat beans gently in a small saucepan without boiling them dry.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet. Brown mushrooms in one uncrowded layer, season, and transfer to the oven. Cook bacon in the same skillet until edges crisp; hold warm.
Toast bread and butter it. Wipe the skillet, add remaining oil, and fry pasteurized eggs until whites set and yolks remain soft.
Plate every component immediately, keeping toast crisp and beans contained enough that diners can decide what mixes. Serve with brown sauce or ketchup.
