Breakfast for Dinner: Hearty Irish Breakfast

My sister and I loved it when my mom made breakfast for dinner.  Typically we'd have scrambled eggs with biscuits and gravy and wow, it was so delicious.  We'd giggle about getting to stay up all night since we'd just had breakfast!

Making an Irish breakfast was a no brainer when thinking about what I wanted to share in this post. It is full o' delicious proteins, vegetables, and this delicious bread.  What's not to love?  I used sausages that I found at Aldi that were Irish bangers, just to keep the meal authentic!

Lately, my daughter has introduced me to the term "brinner" (breakfast and dinner) and pointed out the variations (like McDonald's having all-day breakfast) and pancakes at IHop all hours of the day.  For me, what I remember is the sense of novelty, it was different. It's like being naughty, but with permission.

Lately, I have been enjoying breakfast cereal as a late-night snack. Cheerios and almond milk are comforting, filling and not-so-bad for me. I don't feel a bit guilty about it being "breakfast food."  If you don't feel guilty either, pin this for future brinners! ↓

In addition to this great brinner, check out all the ideas below.  I have a feeling that brinner is going to be one of my family's new vocabulary words.

Instructions:

How to cook Hearty Irish Breakfast

1. Heat oven to boil.
2. Cut tomato in half, set aside.
3. Open beans, pour into a small saucepan, and heat on medium heat.
4. In a skillet, melt butter with a little olive oil and toss in mushrooms.
5. Cook for 5 minutes, add in garlic, reduce heat. Cook until tender.  Remove from pan.
6. Pierce sausages with a fork in several places. 
7. Fry bacon and sausages together, remove from pan and set aside.
8. Add butter to skillet, fry eggs sunny side up (see notes for a perfect sunny side up egg)
9. Cut soda bread in half, toast. Butter toast while hot.
10. Pop tomato into oven on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
11. Broil tomato until bubbling hot.
12. Assemble breakfast: In a large bowl, scoop 1/2 of the beans into the plate.  Add eggs to one side, the mushrooms to the other. Lay bacon and bangers on top of eggs. Garnish with broiled tomato.  

Notes:

Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat until lightly shimmering, about 5 minutes. Crack an egg into a small cup and slowly add it to the skillet; repeat with the other egg. Flick some water into the skillet (just a few droplets.) Cover with a tight lid and cook, uninterrupted, until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
