Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day, so you need to get it right.
But according to Brits, there are lots of mistakes you won't want to fall foul of when it comes to fry-ups.
From beans served on the plate to overcooked dippy eggs, one simple mistake could ruin an otherwise delicious meal.
Thankfully, Researchers at New York Bakery Co took a deep dive into the nation's breakfast habits to lend a helping hand.
And it is a good job considering they found 48% of us are regularly disappointed by brunch or brekkie.
Read on for the 20 worst breakfast fails as voted for by Brits, so you can be sure not to make the same mistakes.
- Burnt toast - 48%
Overcooked 'dippy' eggs - 34%
Cremated bacon - 23%
Soggy cereal - 22%
Eggshell in your scrambled eggs - 18%
Rock hard butter which breaks the toast - 17%
Milk added to a tea bag before hot water - 16%
Undercooked, flabby bacon - 16%
Dry scrambled eggs - 14%
Instant coffee - 14%
Cold baked beans - 12%
Watery poached eggs - 12%
Stodgy porridge -11%
UHT milk in little packets - 10%
Slimy egg white on your fried egg - 10%
Limp 'soldiers' - 6%
Half an undercooked tomato with your full English - 5%
A big slimy mushroom with your fry up - 5%
Beans on the same plate as your fry up - 5%
Breakfast smothered in ketchup or brown sauce - 4%
So, there you have it. As foodies likely suspected, burned toast, cremated bacon, and watery poached eggs are all culprits, and there are lots more faux pas.
Perhaps surprisingly, given how seriously we take our grub, 71% of Brits would not complain about an under-par brekkie, though.
One in three of us would go so far as to say it is not the done thing.
But a sixth of Brits would happily post their breakfast fails on social media.
It is an important meal, after all, and the best meal of the day according to two thirds of the 2000 respondents.
