Ingredients

• 4 slices Irish rashers (back bacon)
• 4 links Irish sausages (bangers)
• 2 slices Black pudding
• 2 slices White pudding
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 medium Tomatoes (halved)
• 200 grams Mushrooms (sliced)
• 4 pieces Soda bread (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sausages to the skillet and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside, keeping them warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the rashers and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove and set aside, keeping warm.

Step 4

Place the black pudding and white pudding slices into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until browned and heated through. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet if needed. Place the tomato halves cut side down in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

Wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat slightly. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness (approximately 3–4 minutes for sunny-side up). Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Toast the soda bread slices and spread them with the remaining butter.

Step 9

Plate the cooked components by arranging the sausages, rashers, puddings, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, and soda bread on individual plates.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your authentic Irish breakfast!
