Slept in, am making a cup of my favorite loose tea direct from Paris and a hard boiled egg with salt.

grapefruit juice
french toast with chestnut honey
two cups of Peet's Viennese blend

(never tried honey on french toast before--the chestnut honey was especially good with its non-sweet undertones). I also hadn't made french toast in awhile and forgot how quick it is--even for a weekday.

First time to post on this thread, but had a particularly good brekky this a.m., so here goes. Had some leftover parsleyed red potatoes, so sliced and sauteed in a little butter/oil until browned. Added some chopped onion, salt and pepper and continued sauteeing until onion was soft and browned. Grated on some aged gruyere cheese and covered briefly. Meanwhile, basted a large egg until the whites were just set and the yolk nice and runny. Plated the potatoes, added a tsp of white truffle oil. Placed egg atop potatoes, added more truffle oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Enjoyed along with a cup of fresh brewed assam tea with steamed milk.

What a way to start the day!

I'll say! Sounds great. Wonderful idea for left-over potatoes (which to me often taste better as breakfast potatoes than just-cooked ones do).
Life is short; eat the cheese course first.

we're short two people at work this morning(luckily the first hour and a half tend to be slow for us) so quickly ate some of the leftover bison chili i had brought for lunch with the corn bread. looks like we won't even get our 15 minute break today :sad:

on the other hand we may do delivery and take turns taking 5 in the main office with a sandwich or pizza :unsure:

think i can get stinger to bring those potts dogs?

Foie gras with toast points, peach preserves and creamy scrambled eggs. My favorite breakfast, actually. My boyfriend brought home some leftover foie gras from work, which seems like some kind of weird oxymoron. How does one have "leftover" foie gras? Well, these are some of the little end pieces that don't make a perfect restaurant slice. They still taste pretty darned good, though.

Crispix day in day out, year in year out, decade in decade out, unless I think I need more fiber, then it's bran flakes. Years ago while being interviewed on TV J.C. was asked if she ate cold cereal in the morning, and she said that occasionally she did and she liked Crispix. Well, that was good enough for me.

Saucisse De Canard A L'Armagnac with scrambled eggs and truffle butter
Posted Image

This saugage tastes just like a foie gras pate. I cut it up into small pieces and seared it in a cast iron pan, but the inside was still moist and juicy.

P.S : I boiled some eggs (LMF style :rolleyes: ) and though I have not enjoyed them yet, I plan to with some caviar tomorrow :biggrin:

yyyyikes this stuff looks good. I've never eaten caviar in all my 23 years (just salmon eggs and those tiny orange ones that come on sushi).
On work days, I usually just have some fruit and Kashi before rushing out to catch the subway, sometimes just fruit. Sometimes a slice of banana bread (I slice it and put it in the freezer right after it cools so I don't eat the whole thing at once).
When my boyfriend's in town we have omelettes, coffee, the works, on the weekends, otherwise my current favorite is toast and fresh ground peanut butter with a huge mug of strong chai--boil the heck out of some low quality tea leaves and coarse ground cardomom, add milk and bring to a boil again (1:1 water:milk).

Since we usually go out for brunch on Sunday, I had my morning coffee with a slice of pumpkin bread (which I bought from a working Amish farm)....that should hold me over until lunch time... :smile:

Well, it's not classically breakfast, but this morning I had a turkey and rice soup: The turkey was purchased at my local farmer's market, and spent the night in my crockpot, brewing with some celery and onions. My whole house smelled so good this morning!

Scottish Style sausages, Bacon, Ayreshire Ham, Eggs scrambled in the Ham fat and of course Tater tots thanks to the Tater Tot thread.

Peppyre,
Looks delicious... Please forgive my ignorance, but what makes the sausages "Scottish style"? Are these the same as "bangers" one would get in the UK?

Breakfast like dinner is not just what we're eating, but also with whom, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the weather... what a way to start the day. :smile:
So was the case for our breakfast of eggs, potatoes, juice, and coffee on the porch this morning.

Huevos Rancheros - My Way.

Needed a quick breakfast, so I sauteed some onions, green (spring) onions and some Pico de Gallo. Whisked in 2 farm eggs. Enjoyed it with some warm tortillas and coffee.

Mmmm Percy, I'll take Huevos Rancheros your way, or Surf n Turf your way, or most anything your way for that matter!
Though cloudy outside, we had another lovely breakfast setting today. Only by the time we ate it, it was a champagne brunch (non-capitalized champagne meaning not Champagne, but sparkling wine :biggrin: ).

Fried eggs over warm lentil salad with lardons, adapted from Sara Moulton's recipe, and the ever-popular toasted left-over baguette with goat cheese.

Cold takeout pizza that had been sitting on the counter all night. What made it worse was the fact that Jeff went and took a huge bite out of each slice and then proceeded to pick the cheese and toppings off each piece at some point during last night's, uh, festivities.

Needless to say, there are no pictures.

LOL, Eunny, sometimes cold pizza for breakfast is enjoyable (especially if you have a hang-over) and these are the breakfasts that one remembers...if they are lucky :raz:
