Brazilian Breakfast

Ingredients

While the English Breakfast typically includes ingredients like bacon, sausage, and baked beans, the Brazilian Breakfast incorporates local flavors and ingredients to create a unique culinary experience. This adaptation replaces the traditional English sausages with linguiça, a flavorful Brazilian sausage, and swaps out baked beans for feijão tropeiro, a traditional Brazilian dish made with beans, bacon, and cassava flour.
