Serving Size: 2

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Thick slices bacon
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 4 Large eggs, whisked
• 2 Small tomatoes, sliced
• 1.5 Cups whole mushrooms, cleaned
• 4 Slices prepared Irish soda bread

Steps

1. Prepare the Bacon: Lay the bacon slices in a single layer in a large skillet. Fry over medium heat until they start to brown, flipping to ensure even cooking on both sides. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the grease in the pan.
2. Cook the Eggs and Vegetables: Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Arrange the tomato slices and whole mushrooms around the eggs, keeping them separate. Fry gently, stirring the mushrooms and tomatoes occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Grill the Soda Bread: Place the slices of soda bread in the skillet. Allow them to soak up some of the bacon grease and butter, flipping to brown both sides evenly.
4. Finish and Serve: Once the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, remove everything from the skillet. Divide the bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, and soda bread between two warmed plates. Serve immediately with a side of sweet, milky tea for a complete Irish breakfast experience.
