fry up

Cook in oil

A fry up is a cooked breakfast of fried foods—typically eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast, often with baked beans and black pudding.

The term is chiefly British: We stopped at a café for a proper fry up.

As a verb, to fry up means to cook something quickly in a pan: I'll fry up some eggs.
