Classic Full Irish Fry-Up
  1. 1

    Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in a large skillet. Fry over medium heat until they begin to brown. Fry on both sides. Remove them from the pan, but keep the grease.

  2. 2

    Add butter to the skillet and melt it. Crack the eggs into the pan, taking care not to break the yolks. Add the tomato slices, mushrooms, and bread to the skillet, keeping each separate. Fry gently, stirring the mushrooms and tomatoes now and then. Flip the bread to brown both sides.

  3. 3

    When the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, divide half of everything onto each of two warmed plates and serve right away.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
