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.
