Bacon and Eggs With Tomatoes and Mushrooms
"From the Mystery food novel Food To Die For. In the novel/recipe book, this recipe is described as being a Classic English Breakfast. Even though it's not kosher, I'm hoping some one else will enjoy the recipe, although I did hear once that there was such a thing as fake bacon."

This was a great breakfast (that I gave an Irish touch to, using Irish bacon and Irish sausages). It really cooked rather quickly, and produced a wonderful, hearty breakfast that is a lovely treat. I will definitely be making this again! Made for ZWT 8. -
Ahh, the guilty guilty pleasure that is the English breakfast :) Always a delight... and kept us full for at least two meals! I can't imagine a trip to Great Britain without it. I did make a mini version for myself, but made as directed for those dining with me who have larger appetites. Thanks for sharing! ZWT8 -
Yummy breakfast! I have never even heard of frying bread in bacon grease, so had to give that a try. Very flavorful. I used a thickly sliced tomato because I didn't have any plum tomatoes, but made the recipe as directed other than that. Very good and very filling. Thanks Studentchef for a great breakfast. Made for ZWT8 - Great Britain. -
I'm giving this 5 stars because it is a true Brit brekkie. I have several Brit friends, one of whom lives in London and he assures me that it's classic. That said, omg, that is a lot of food! I made one serving reduced and had a hard time getting it all on a dinner plate even though I cut back on the amounts. Used 2 eggs instead of 3, 1 slice toast, 1 strip bacon. For pure health reasons I used 2 veggie sausage links and toasted the bread (whole wheat) because I simply couldn't bring myself to fry bread in bacon fat. I managed to get through 2/3's and had to call it quits at that point. Loved the tomatoes and mushies, for me that was the highlight of the plate. Everything tasted very good but there was just way too much. -

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am an Israeli-Canadian who grew up in Montreal Quebec. I love to cook, especially for family and friends, and I love to experiment with recipes and try to do different variations of the same recipe. I did do part of cooking school, but found the place stressful and all the good recipes high in fat and calories, even the good ones. I don't have a fave cookbook, but I eat kosher. I have a dream and that is to own my own B&B one of these days. I also love creative writing, and maybe I like to try make up a recipe of my own and see if I'm good at doing that.
I have to add that I do have some favourite chefs from the Food Network. They are Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian; Micheal Smith from Chef at Home; Jamie Oliver and everything he does; Anna Olson from Sugar; and Chef Gordon Ramsey from Hells' Kitchen and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.
