Meat-Lovers‘ Breakfast Board

Whether you’re hosting a crowd for a special day or just spending a lazy morning at the cottage, no one will be expecting this delicious, decadent, and deceivingly easy breakfast board. Mix and match our premium bacon, breakfast sausages, and rounds with brunch classics such as waffles, avocado, and baked beans. The best part is that by using different kitchen tools (like your air fryer) for the different components, you can have everything hot and ready at the same time. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for the ultimate sweet and savoury combination.

Ingredients

2 large baking potatoes, scrubbed, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 tbsp vegetable oil

½ tsp garlic salt

½ tsp chopped fresh thyme

6 eggs

1 pkg (375 g) Schneiders Thick Cut Bacon

1 pkg (375 g) Schneiders Mini-Sizzlers Breakfast Sausages

1 pkg (375 g) Schneiders Breakfast Rounds

1 can (398 mL) baked beans in tomato sauce

6 Belgian-style waffles

1-1/2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

3 cups cut-up or whole fruit, such as melon, oranges and berries

2 cups cherry tomatoes

2 avocados, sliced

Directions

Toss potatoes with oil, garlic salt and thyme arrange in basket of large air-fryer. (Alternately, scrape onto parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread into single layer.) Air fry (or bake on baking sheet) at 400°F (200°C), shaking or tossing once or twice during cooking, until golden and tender, about 20 minutes for air-fryer home fries or 35 minutes for oven home fries.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan bring at least 3 inches of water to gentle simmer. Lower eggs carefully into simmering water; simmer for 6 minutes for runny, or 7 minutes for a softly set, gelled yolk. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking and until cool enough to handle. Gently tap eggs all over to crack shells and carefully peel.

Meanwhile, prepare bacon, sausages, waffles and beans according to package directions.

On large board, arrange home fries, eggs (cut in half, if desired), bacon, sausages, beans, waffles, yogurt, fruit, tomatoes, avocados and condiments.

Tips:

Serve with maple syrup, honey, assorted jams, ketchup, salsa and hot sauce.

1 tsp onion powder

¼ tsp each salt and pepper

1 can (540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 tbsp canola oil

4 eggs

1 cup pico de gallo (fresh tomato salsa)

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or green onions

Directions

Scatter bacon on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until fat starts to render, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, in bowl, toss sweet potatoes with chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Remove bacon from oven; add sweet potato mixture, tossing to coat with bacon fat. Return to oven; bake, stirring once, until browned and tender and bacon is crisp, about 20 minutes. Stir beans and lime juice into mixture. Bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

To assemble: Spoon sweet potato mixture into 4 bowls. Top with pico de gallo, avocado and eggs; sprinkle with cilantro or green onions.

Tip: You can buy pico de gallo already made, or simply combine chopped tomatoes with a little finely chopped red or green onion, minced jalapeno and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Sprinkle with cilantro

Level

Ingredients

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

12 cloves garlic, thickly sliced

2 cups cherry tomatoes

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp cider vinegar

¼ tsp each salt and crushed red pepper flakes

1 tbsp butter

4 eggs

4 thick slices bread, toasted

200 g brie cheese, sliced

1 pkg (175 g) sliced Schneiders Maple Smoked Ham

Directions

In saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, maple syrup, vinegar, salt and crushed red pepper flakes and 1 tbsp water. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are bursting, liquid is reduced and garlic is very soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook eggs, sunny-side up, until whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.

Top each slice of toast with ¼ of the brie, ham, some of the tomato confit and an egg. Top with freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.

Tips: This will make more confit that you’ll need, but it makes an excellent condiment for any eggs, grilled meats, or as an addition to a charcuterie board.

Serve with a crisp green salad.

Ingredients

6 Schneiders® Mini Sizzlers® Breakfast Sausages

2 large Eggs

1 Vine of cherry tomatoes

1 tbsp Chopped fresh chives

1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp (5 mL) Olive oil

Sea salt flakes

Coarsely ground black peppercorns

Directions

Follow package directions to cook 6 Schneiders® Mini Sizzlers® breakfast sausages in a 10” cast iron skillet. While the Schneiders® Mini Sizzlers® sausages are cooking, wash and dry your fresh herbs, chop finely and set aside.

When the Schneiders® Mini Sizzlers® sausages are cooked through, remove from skillet and keep warm.

Gently wash your cherry tomatoes so they remain on the vine. Place in the same skillet over medium-high heat and sear until the bottoms start to blister, approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Adjust stove to medium, pour in olive oil and spread evenly over the entire surface of the skillet. Crack in 2 eggs and continue to cook over medium heat until the whites have set, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Place warm Schneiders® Mini Sizzlers® sausages and vined tomatoes back into the skillet, sprinkle with chopped chives and parsley and season to taste.

Enjoy!

Notes:
For perfect eggs, try cracking into a small ramekin first and gently transfer them into the skillet.
