how to make Irish Breakfast

Ingredients :

• 4 links of Irish sausage
• 4 slices of bacon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup of baked beans
• 1 tomato, halved
• 2 slices of black pudding
• 2 slices of white pudding
• Butter for frying
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions :

1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter to the pan.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the sausages to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally until browned and cooked through.
3. Next, add the bacon to the same skillet. Fry until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Move the sausages and bacon to one side of the skillet, and add the black and white pudding slices to the empty space. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
5. In another small pan, cook the eggs to your liking. You can fry, poach, or scramble them.
6. While the eggs are cooking, heat the baked beans in a small pot over low heat.
7. Add the tomato halves to the skillet, cut side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
8. Once everything is cooked, assemble the plate. Start with the sausages, bacon, puddings, beans, and eggs. Add the tomato on the side.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
