Irish Breakfast - Take 1

Irish Breakfast 
Serves 1
Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 sausage links
• 2 slices of bread
• 1/3 of a can of baked beans
• 1 tomato
• 1 tbsp of butter
• 2 tbsp of olive oil

Cut the tomato in half and place on a roasting tray. Roast in the oven on 180C for 15 minutes or until the skin starts pulling back from the fruit. While the tomato is roasting, cook the sausage in the olive oil until the sausage is browned all over and is no longer pink in the middle.

Fry the eggs sunny-side up in the butter to your liking as the sausages are cooking. While the eggs are cooking, slice the bread if necessary and heat the baked beans in the microwave if they are cold.

Serve the bread, tomato, beans, sausages and eggs together and enjoy.

This was my own spin on the Irish Breakfast, traditionally made with fried eggs, sausage, rashers (slabs of bacon), white sausage, black sausage, toast and occasionally with tomatoes or beans.

The meal was about pub-level quality (meaning decent but certainly a lot cheaper) but not good enough to run out every weekend for the ingredients. If the mood hits me, I will make it again but certainly not very often.
