# Ingredient List:

# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F.
02 - Arrange sausages and bacon on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until fully cooked and golden brown.
03 - While meats cook, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until tender and golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
04 - Place tomato halves, cut-side down, in the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly caramelized. Remove and keep warm.
05 - Gently warm baked beans in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated.
06 - Toast bread slices until golden brown.
07 - In a clean skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat. Fry eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over easy). Season with salt and pepper.
08 - Arrange all prepared components on warm plates: sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and toast. Serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It's the ultimate comforting breakfast, guaranteed to chase away the morning chill and set you right.
- You can easily customize it to your family's preferences while still keeping that authentic, hearty Irish spirit.
02 -
- Always use a separate pan or clean the skillet thoroughly between cooking mushrooms/tomatoes and eggs to prevent flavor transfer.
- Don't rush the bacon and sausages; slower cooking yields a crispier, more flavorful result.
03 -
- For perfectly crispy bacon and evenly cooked sausages, ensure they are in a single layer without overcrowding the baking tray.
- To achieve the best fried eggs, use butter over medium-low heat and don't disturb them too much, letting the whites set gently around a perfectly runny yolk.
