Fried farm egg, crispy toast, Jersey tomato salad

The egg was fried in olive oil, as José Andrés demonstrates here: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2012/09/12/dining/20120912-SPANISH.html?_r=0

Rainbow chard, with Jersey tomato sauce

Those greens and tomatoes look superb. There's something so right about tomatoes for breakfast.

I had no tomatoes, nor bread, so I made up some blueberry muffins using Alton Brown's recipe on Good Eats. I should have looked up Dorie's instead, because these were too wildly sweet to my taste, at one cup of sugar. I still ate three.

Sometimes the tastiest food is the least photogenic. Eggs scrambled with bacon and onions over roasted Portobello caps.

I've seen a lot less photogenic than that. It looks rather nice.

Why thank you. I really need to improve my photography skills or my camera or perhaps my food! I like my hot food hot so I tend to rush these shots. But the sharing means more than the art so what the heck. I'm inspired by others and occasionally I'm source of inspiration. I wish for no more.

I like my hot food hot so I tend to rush these shots.

Exactly what I do. Much as want to share (or show off on the few occasions I get it right), I cook to eat, and I'm not letting a meal go to ruin while I search for the perfect angle and exposure.

I take the view here that any pictures are only going to be helpful illustrations. When I want art I go elsewhere. But that said, there have been some stunning photographs posted here (and some hideous).

Your brekky picture made me want to eat it. That 's what it's about.

Mushrooms fried with shallot. Olive oil drizzled bread. Poached hen's egg. The egg is from my neighbour's chicken and I collected it about half an hour ago (with permission!).

Ashen – your sunny side up eggs are so lovely! I still do them the way that you taught me when it’s just the two of us (they are a tad hard to manage when you are doing more than a couple at a time).

Nakji – your muffins are beautiful. I’m glad you managed to choke them down, in spite of them being too sweet :raz: :laugh: .

Ann – eggs in cream….heaven.

I am so suggestible. I was reading a book in which someone stopped at a café for a sausage biscuit. I put the book down, came into the house, got biscuits and sausage out of the freezer and made breakfast:

Sometimes you gotta be TOLD what you want. I just wish all my culinary whims could be so easily satisfied.

An Egyptian breakfast in China.

Ful Medames

Made basically to this recipe from Saveur, but re-scaled. I also used coriander leaf/cilantro instead of the traditional parsley. No doubt heresy, but parsley is rare round here.

I win on most boring breakfast.

2 slices of bread most likely with cheese, 100 ml of vanilla lactose free yogurt + meds and two cups of tea. This what I have over and over again and it due to my meds, they wont work unless I do this. Thank God I have aged cheese, I am now enjoying a 30 month priest cheese and a 20 month Manson cheese.

Toasted homemade mini baguette (thank you for the idea Ann_ T) topped with cream cheese and Danish cucumber.

could not wait. went to the store very early, 6 am.

Fresh still warm onion roll from the bakery, rare RB, melted swiss, lettuce, thinly sliced tomato, thin sliced vidalia

onion, mayo ( lots ) horseradish. S&P.

delicious. I had to check to make sure before I took the pic.

Id forgotten how delicious a RB sandwich can be. the onion roll still warm makes this.

but I had to be sure. I had seconds.

I only bought 4 rolls. just as well.

guess what's for dinner .

A true breakfast of champions. Like the Eveready bunny you'll have power to spare. Unless like me you decide to sleep it off!

rotuts · June 15, 2014

Rats ! ive been found out. I indeed had to 'put my feet up'

when i have something so delicious, I wonder how many other delicious things Ive forgotten about.

Leftover pasta frittata.

Gruyere melt on toasted semolina bread with a sprinkling of Trader Joe's South African Smoke spice mix.

rotuts · June 16, 2014

Today I had the same breakfast as yesterday : the roast beef sandwich on the last onion roll. the roll was 24 hrs old.

the sandwich was still delicious. but that still warm roll made a difference that pushed the sum total over the top.

still it's a nice breakfast. i wondered why I hadn't made these from time to time in the past.

I guess its because they really do slow you down, if you know what I mean. who needs that at 6 in the morning ?

Ann_T · June 16, 2014

Rotuts, now that beef sandwich is my idea of a great breakfast. I don't care for eggs as much as my husband so I'd rather have a non traditional breakfast.
