Breakfast! 2014

[heidih]

Ann - what is your preferred scrambling method - looks low & slow? And are there little treat bits of smoked salmon among the curds? Of course your bagels seal the deal.

[Ann_T]

Heidi, yes over low heat. Lots of butter. Add the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. What you are seeing is actually chopped tomato.

[Kim Shook]

Liuzhou – lemony pancakes sound delicious! How thick were the pancakes?

Anna – beautiful potstickers! What were they filled with?

Huiray – your ramen and roasted duck soup looks so wonderful!

Snowed-in breakfast w/ Jessica and us this morning – CI’s cathead biscuits:

With sausage gravy and scrambled eggs:

Very thin. I should have said crêpes, I suppose.

Some leftover venison from carpaccio. Cooked in a skillet with butter and then served in a cheddar grilled cheese.

I had it with a beer at 8 o clock this morning... Finished working around 1 am last night, hung out until close to 4, made it into the office by 930.. I have had better days..

Sounds like a great breakfast to me! Had me humming that great Kris Kristofferson song with the lyrics

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad

So I had one more for dessert!

[basquecook]

Sunday Morning coming down.. Love that song... Now I want fried chicken. and when considering the 2nd beer, i thought things might get problematic.

Coffee. Then tattie scones, eggs & collapsed tomatoes:

Then more coffee. No music.

Nice work with the re-purposed meat, basquecook. We don't see much (if any) beef carpaccio in Tokyo any more, since a couple of years ago when a yakiniku joint poisoned some customers with their yukke. I hope the day slows down for you later on.

@Blether Nice breakfast to give you strenght

[jayt90]

My breakfast before tackling the latest snow.

Farmgate eggs and home cured pork belly,

[Ann_T]

Blether, great looking breakfast. I love the "collapsed tomatoes". Never heard them called that before.

Jay, Yum, home cured pork belly. I prefer side bacon over regular bacon.

Steak and Eggs - Buttered Based Eggs and Grilled Filet.

[Blether]

Thanks, Rod. Thanks, Ann - yeah, I don't usually cook them quite that long ! Steak and eggs is a class act at any time of day, and you have me looking longingly at yours.

[huiray]

A bowl of Ibumie Penang Har Mee instant noodle soup; dressed up w/ kangkong (water spinach), tau fu pok (fried tofu puffs) & hard boiled eggs.

Spinach Omelette with Garlic and Feta

[Anna N]

My husband loved French toast and would happily scarf it down for breakfast, lunch or dinner but I could never get my head around it. Far too sweet for me. So when I stumbled onto a recipe for a savoury version I jumped on it. What a disappointment! Eggs, cream, parmesan are the basics but it is flat, flat, flat despite the mustard powder, tabasco and lots of pepper. Oh well. I am happy to stick with bread fried in bacon fat when I feel a real need to clog my arteries.

[Blether]

That looks good ! I found that i like French Toast best when I've an open-grained bread, and I soak it long enough in the egg that it's wet through. I can then cook it hot enough to brown but stay moist in the crumb.

[rod rock]

@robirdstx that omelette looks good and nice combination as well.

Maybe add chicken liver pate?

Nah. I think the point of French toast is to use up stale bread (pain perdu) and when you start adding stuff that isn't a pantry staple then you've missed the point. Some could argue that parmesan cheese isn't a pantry staple but it is in my house. Many thanks for the suggestion though.

[Anna N]

Looked in the fridge this morning and saw a few sad stalks of asparagus hiding in plain sight behind the miso. So miso + butter on toast topped by sauteed asparagus and a slowly fried egg a la John Besh.

[Ann_T]

Made Moe breakfast out of leftovers from last night's taco dinner.

[Anna N]

Eggs baked in tomato sauce with thyme and parmesan. An exchange of instant messages with my granddaughter about chocolate led to very overcooked eggs!

I love that you and your granddaughter IM about food!

[robirdstx]

Had these for breakfast a couple of days ago, and will have to have them again soon!

Poached eggs on toasted and buttered English muffin.

[Ann_T]

Perfectly cooked for me Anna, I prefer my eggs, well set.

Robirdstk, that is Moe's favourite. And he likes them cooked just like yours. Perfect.
