Ulster Fry (Irish Breakfast)
Irish breakfast is a traditional meal consisting of fried eggs, vegetables, potatoes, and meats such as bacon, sausages, and both black and white puddings.
The meal is often served with Irish soda or brown bread, a cup of tea, and a glass of orange juice on the side. Irish Breakfast will definitely be a suggestion for your breakfast on free days.
In most cases, all of the components are cooked in creamy butter. Breakfast was originally created to help people prepare for a day of hard labor on the farm, and it was especially popular on chilly winter mornings. It is normally cooked on Sunday morning (or Christmas morning, when it is extremely popular) due to its enormous size, which makes it difficult to eat on most working day mornings.
Ingredients:
6 thick slices bacon; 2 tablespoons butter or margarine; 4 eggs; 2 small tomatoes, sliced; ½ cup whole mushrooms; 4 slices prepared soda bread
Instructions:
- Lay the bacon slices in a single layer in a large skillet. Fry over medium heat until it begins to get tinged with brown. Fry on both sides. Remove from pan, but save grease.
- Melt butter in a skillet. Crack eggs into the pan, being careful not to break yolks. Place tomato slices, mushrooms, and bread in the pan. Fry gently, stirring mushrooms and tomatoes occasionally. Keep everything separate. Turn bread over to brown on both sides.
- When egg whites are set, but yolks are still runny, dish half of everything onto each of 2 warmed plates, and serve immediately.
