FULL IRISH BREAKFAST



Full Irish Breakfast image

When the Irish call this a full breakfast, they're not kidding. We've given you all the traditional components here, but if you're looking for a smaller meal, feel free to mix and match. Irish bacon is leaner than American-style bacon, so Canadian bacon is the closest substitute. If you're feeling ambitious, you can also bake a loaf of soda bread to stand in for your toast.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 13-ounce can English-style baked beans, such as Heinz beans with tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Irish butter, plus more softened, for serving
1 1/2 cups quartered white button mushrooms
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large ripe plum tomato, cut crosswise into 4 slices
2 slices Irish bacon (back bacon), Canadian bacon or American-style bacon (about 3 ounces)
2 white pudding sausages (about 4 ounces), pricked with a fork in several places
2 black pudding/blood sausage patties (about 2 ounces)
4 slices whole grain or black bread
4 large eggs
Bitter orange marmalade, for serving
Brewed Irish breakfast tea, for serving

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.

PALEO IRISH BOXTY + FULL IRISH BREAKFAST RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Paleo Irish Boxty + Full Irish Breakfast Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by jab120638

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound turnips, peeled (about 3 small)
1/4 cup coconut milk, divided
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoon arrowroot flour
4 thick bacon slices or rashers
2 banger sausages
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Cut 1 1/2 turnips into small chunks. In a small saucepan, bring two cups of water up to a boil with the turnips. While turnips are boiling, shred other 1 1/2 turnips with a cheese grater. With a dish rag, squeeze out any excess liquid of the shredded turnips. Once boiled turnips are finished cooking, drain and add 2 tablespoons coconut milk. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Mix in shredded turnips, remaining coconut milk, egg, arrowroot, salt and pepper. In a flat-bottomed skillet, crisp 4 slices of bacon over medium heat. Once bacon is done, dice two slices and add to boxty batter. Reserve a little of the bacon fat from the skillet. With the remaining bacon fat, scoop 1/4 cup boxty batter onto hot skillet. You don't want the pancakes to be too big or they won't flip. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes until patty is brown. Flip and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. This should make about 10 small pancakes. Add more bacon fat as needed and continue the process of frying the pancakes. Cook bangers for 7 to 10 minutes per side, covered. In banger fat, fry up eggs to your liking. Fill your plate with boxty, bangers, bacon and eggs. Enjoy!
