🍳 The Clonakilty Breakfast Plate

This is a breakfast that knows exactly who it is: hearty, satisfying, and packed with savoury goodness. Clonakilty Blackpudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, a perfectly fried egg, and beans with a little Worcestershire twist — it’s your classic breakfast, only better.

Serves: 2
Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 100g Clonakilty Blackpudding

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 2 chestnut mushrooms, sliced

• 5 cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 medium egg

• 1 (200g) can baked beans in tomato sauce

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Method

1. Slice the blackpudding into 8 rounds and fry in a hot non-stick pan for 4 mins per side until crisp. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan, fry mushrooms for about 5 mins until soft and juicy. Keep warm.

3. Add tomatoes and fry for 3–4 mins until tender. Keep warm.

4. Wipe the pan clean, add remaining oil, and fry the egg to your liking.

5. Heat baked beans in the pan with Worcestershire sauce until piping hot.
