The Real Deal Irish Breakfast Recipes

FULL IRISH BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• Heat the baked beans in a small covered saucepan, stirring occasionally, over low heat.
• Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and then add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When it melts, add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and brown on one side for 1 to 2 minutes. Toss the mushrooms and push them to one side of the skillet. Add the tomatoes to the other side, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning once, until browned on the edges and slightly softened, about 1 minute per side. At the same time, continue to cook the mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the mushrooms and tomatoes to the prepared baking sheet, keeping the components separate, and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the bacon, white pudding and black pudding and fry, turning occasionally, until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking sheet with the mushrooms and tomatoes, leaving the fat in the skillet. Put the bread on the other side of the baking sheet and place in the oven. Let the bread toast, flipping once, while you fry the eggs.
• Heat the fat in the skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and fry, flipping once, about 3 minutes total for over-easy eggs with slightly runny yolks. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and divide each of the components between two plates. Serve more butter and the marmalade on the side for the toast and hot tea as your beverage.

IRISH BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Lay the bacon slices in a single layer in a large skillet. Fry over medium heat until it begins to get tinged with brown. Fry on both sides. Remove from pan, but save grease.
• Melt butter in skillet. Crack eggs into pan, being careful not to break yolks. Place tomato slices, mushrooms, and bread in pan. Fry gently, stirring mushrooms and tomatoes occasionally. Keep everything separate. Turn bread over to brown on both sides.
• When egg whites are set, but yolks are still runny, dish half of everything onto each of 2 warmed plates, and serve immediately.

THE REAL DEAL IRISH BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan with a little oil. Fry the sausages slowly over a medium heat - keep turning.
• Add the pudding to the pan and continue to cook. Put sausages and pudding on a plate and keep warm in the oven.
• Place rashers on frying pan and cook until colour has darkened and they crisp - transfer to oven. Add more oil to the frying pan and sauté the mushrooms.
• Add as many eggs are you want per person and fry however you prefer them.
• Add the salt and pepper to the mushrooms.
• Serve all ingredients on a plate and serve with crusty french bread (aka breakfast roll - popular hangover cures sold in petrol stations in Ireland ) or with Irish brown bread . Add ketchup to taste. Loads of Kerrygold Irish butter for the bread is yum as it is slightly salty and has a gorgeous flavour. Round it all of with a glass of cold orange juice and a strong cup of tea!
