Notes
This is the basic order in which I cook a full Irish breakfast. Alternate ingredients will have different cooking times, however, by having an order in which to cook them, I try to have all my components, ready to go at the same time. Another method is to have a warming tray in the oven and as an ingredient is cooked, it goes into the warming tray until everything is ready for the plate.
