Full Irish Breakfast
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.
Ingredients
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)
Directions
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. Read More…
