A lot of catching up to do.....

Pancakes at Napa Cafe


Monkey Bread from Bouchon Bakery



Tacos for Breakfast....who says I need an egg everyday? (well, actually I do).


Breakfast Pizza in SFO airport on the way back from Napa.

Kay – love the idea of serving tamales with breakfast – I never thought of it, but they really make the perfect breakfast food.

percyn – what a perfectly cooked pancake! That is exactly how I want mine to look. And that monkey bread looks truly amazing.

Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and zucchini muffins

[rotuts]

you can always tell a great taco by the double-layer corn tortillas! those look delicious as does the breakfast pizza!

I don't have a picture handy, but one of my favorite breakfasts is 2 scrambled eggs with, JUST before taking off the heat, 1/2 a diced avodaco mixed in. The texture is sublime, totally decadent.

[kayb]

Wow....never thought of avocado with scrambled eggs. Must try that ASAP.

Here in Lancaster it is 10:30 at night and I am hankering for breakfast after looking at these photos.

I signed in to post a link to "Gogol Mogol - The Self-Cooking Egg Grenade" as they look like they would be fun to play with for a breakfast egg.

[percyn]

Nice breakfast Soba.

Andi, that Gogol Mogol egg looks awesome, have you seen it in the US?

[C. sapidus]

Percy – Your scrambled eggs always looks so appealing

Soba – Nice egg, but the sides are to die for

Tortillas and scrambled eggs with onion, garlic, salsa, and pickled jalapenos, topped with Tapatio salsa.

[Kim Shook]

Ashen – that is some truly gorgeous peameal bacon. I am dying to try that stuff.

Stash – tomato salad looks fantastic.

Mr. Kim’s breakfast on Sunday was a mushroom and Jarlsberg omelet and sausage:


Breakfast today – Mr. Kim’s:


Mine was hash browns and a Spanglish sandwich minus the cheese:

[rod rock]

Yummmm this browns and a Spanglish sandwich looks tasty!!!!! :)

Ashen – that is some truly gorgeous peameal bacon. I am dying to try that stuff.

It is amazingly easy to make actually. It takes 5 or 6 days but most of that is brining and drying out time. actual hands on time was less than 30 mins.
I followed this recipe out of the The Art of Living According to Joe Beef.

thank you all, for the kind words and compliments.


Poached wild turkey egg, with cumin-spiced potatoes, spinach and heirloom tomatoes

there really isn't a recipe for this because it's something that I tend to vary over time, depending on what's available. the basic template goes something like this:

toast black mustard seeds, crushed green cardamom pods and chiles in ghee, then add some combination of garlic, thinly sliced onions, cumin, turmeric, salt and/or ginger, to which I then add potatoes and greens. tomatoes if in season. maybe a squeeze of lemon or lime. cilantro to finish, if I have it on hand. top with a poached egg.

I had leftover heirloom tomatoes and chives, so used those for the garnish.

I'm on vacation until next Monday so there's going to be a lot of cooking at Casa Soba.

[percyn]

Soba, if you are on vacation, you should do a blog again

Some amazing meals in this topic. Today something just a little different. Two farm eggs fried in duck fat with a side of broccoli with crispy red onion and crumbled blue cheese:

[kayb]

Corned buffalo brisket hash, with a duck egg. Not as good as it should have been for the effort it took to corn and cook the brisket. I'm done corning; the deli will have to do mine.



The corned brisket looked respectable enough when finally tender (48 hrs sous vide, 2 1/2 hours stovetop simmer). The homemade biscuits with bacon jam, however, were worth the slip off the gluten-free wagon.




This morning, country bacon, "Methodist" latkes (fried in bacon fat!), and a sunnyside up egg.

[Kim Shook]

percyn – those English muffins sound perfect.

Everyone’s eggs look just gorgeous. I think I’ve given up on the perfect (for me) unflipped egg. I just can’t get the balance right unless I flip it. Even the slightest bit of unset white gives me the heaves, so I guess OVER is going to be it for me. Not as pretty as y’all’s, though!

I don’t know how much cooking I’m going to be getting done this week. Mr. Kim is off again this week and we are trying to get another room painted.

Breakfast this morning:

Bacon and cream cheese on an ET bagel. Bakery bought bagels, but thanks to Elizabeth’s fabulous bagel tutorial that she sent me, I think that I’ll be attempting my own this coming week!

[percyn]

Great Brisket Kay.

Excellent looking bacon Kim. I applaud you for attempting making bagels at home, I would fail miserably.

Here is a breakfast from a few weeks ago....

Parsi Sali per Edu (Spiced eggs on potato sticks).

[Ashen]

A large coffee and two fresh baked buttertarts. Not the most nutritious breakfast but oh sooo good. Besides the buttertarts had raisins so that counts as fruit right???

Kim Shook= I am with you on the no unset eggwhite front. I picked up a trick a few years ago that was mostly for presentation but works to make sure my eggs are set for sunnyside up. It is a tiny bit fiddly but well worth it for me. Just separate your eggs , pour the white into the pan and let it set up 3/4s of the way and then gently put the yolk on top. You have to take care to keep it centered for 7 or 8 seconds til it sticks or it wants to slide off. I tend to turn down the heat and cover it at this point as it won't get that white film on top that generally comes when you cover an unflipped egg.

Everything looks amazing on this thread. Kudos to all!

Beautiful scones! What's a cinnamon chip?

Beautiful scones! What's a cinnamon chip?

Like chocolate chips, only cinnamon.
I have some from King Arthur Flour but I have used Hersey's and haven't noticed much difference.

[blue_dolphin]

Thank you. I had no idea such a thing existed but I can imagine they'd be a great addition to lots of cookies and bars....and of course, breakfast!

They are very good stirred into hot cereals - they are sweet enough so you don't have to add sugar. I also used only 1/4 of the sugar specified in the scone recipe and they were more than sweet enough.

Homemade black-sesame bagel with cream cheese. Kim - if you'd like a pictorial to go with those instructions, I can do that for you today - I'm making pumpernickel bagels.



Edited because what showed up the first time was a pic of cinnamon rolls.....
