Full Farmhouse Breakfast

This over-the-top farmhouse (or full English) breakfast is the morning meal families dream about.  This recipe is super hearty and delicious and we’re betting your family will love this meal for breakfast, brunch or dinner. Full English breakfasts are so popular that they’re pretty much offered throughout the day as all-day breakfast.

The benefits of breakfast

The tradition of eating a morning meal has existed since ancient times, though it was not until the 15th century that “breakfast” came into use in written English to describe it, literally meaning “to break the fasting period of the prior night”.

• Eating breakfast can aid concentration and mental performance.
• It provides you with the nutrients and energy needed for an active lifestyle.
• Research shows that breakfast eaters are less depressed and have lower levels of stress than breakfast skippers.

Protein-packed full farmhouse breakfast

A full English or farmhouse breakfast is best done the old-fashioned way. And this slow-cooked big Sunday breakfast recipe boasts the full monty. We’re talking lamb chops, mini steaks, sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes and mushrooms. With such variety there is sure to be something for everyone.

Grilling option

This indulgent breakfast is a really meaty meal with a great combination of flavours. Instead of being a “fry -up” most of the breakfast is grilled in the oven with only the mushrooms and eggs sautéed an fried respectively. And of course there is the timing of the toast.

So yes, making a full English breakfast takes a bit of juggling act, but you’re family will love you for it!

If there are any leftovers, spread the love by using the shredded meat and sausages in burritos and casseroles.
