Nicolai,  What a great photo.  

 

Kim, that is one beautiful quiche.  And a perfect slice.

 

A few of our recent breakfasts.

 

 

Linguine Alfredo with poached egg and bacon.

 

 

Pancakes with caramelized bananas in maple syrup.

 

Poached Eggs.

 

 

Meatloaf Hash and buttered basted eggs.

[Shelby]

Anne, meatloaf hash----what a great idea!

[vipulpatel]

My favorite break fast is Butter and bread. I love it

[Dejah]

Great looking poached eggs! Tomatoes are the bomb for breakfast. Glad to see such great combos for ideas!
 

Picked up lovely Portobello  mushrooms: lightly fried egg to set the bottom. Slid the egg onto a buttered mushroom and finished cooking in the oven.

Greek yogurt, caramelized banana jam

You can get the jam from: http://josephinesfeast.com

Potato chip tortilla from Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table. The recipe is available on Epicurious. I have fallen in love all over again with Dorie.

Poached Eggs and Sausage.  Toasted homemade bread.

It is rare for me to have anything sweet for breakfast but this was a trial to see how an apple cake would freeze and re-heat. The cake is Marie-Helene's Apple Cake from Dorie Greenspan and it was still quite edible after freezing and re-heating. Fresh though, it was a real winner!

Poached Eggs and Sausage. Toasted homemade bread.

 

That's what I call breakfast.

[Anna N]

Fried egg on planned-over potato and carrot hash.

My husband's idea of a great breakfast,  Beans on toast.

[Ashen]

CatPoet-  Definitely a top shelf breakfast , although  I would need some green scotch bonnet sauce to go with it. 

[CatPoet]

Ashen : he would do  that too, if he had some.

Some mini-quiche, loosely based on the Dorie Greenspan recipe that was referenced by Anna N and Kerry Beal in their latest Manitoulin adventure.

 

 

Aside from using tart shells, I added a bit of cooked bacon, used green onion instead of leek or onion and added some Parm cheese to the mixed eggs and cream. I had a small amount of diced red and orange peppers in the freezer, so perfect to use them up. 

 

This is great for breakfasts on the run for us, along with a piece of fruit.

Those look beautiful, FauxPas!  The top crusts and crimps look very even.  Do you have a special technique for that?

Ummm..... buy them?   

 

Sorry, I should have made it clearer, the shells were purchased. There is a bit of cheddar cheese on top, no top crust. Not the best photo. 

 

We are living in temp rental accommodations  with a limited kitchen. I'm not being all that creative these days.

Eggs over some sautéed squash, tomatoes, carrots, onions and peppers

[Ann_T]

Potato Pancakes and Sausage.

Moe's breakfast.

 

 

 

I had some small pieces of beef tenderloin in the freezer, leftover from when I trimmed a whole tenderloin.

 

 

 

Perfect for breakfast. Seared the beef quickly, and then sautéed some mushrooms in the same pan. Served with buttered basted eggs.

Blether - confession time.  That was frozen, store-bought crust.  I was feeling a bit under the weather (I ended up spending the second half of the game in a sandwich shop - couldn't take the heat and concrete stadium seating) and just couldn't face rolling out dough.  

I actually prefer crustless quiche.  Question:  did you serve the quiche at room temp?  We're going to a tailgating event in a few weeks and I was thinking quiche.  TIA.

[Shelby]

I'm not Kim....but I wish I was 'cause she's such a great cook

 

I make crustless quiche a lot and it's best served at room temp, IMO.  My mom just made one a couple of weeks ago for a special luncheon with friends--she baked her quiche at least an hour before her company got there.  I think quiche would make a great tail-gate food!

 

edited to add:  Heck I eat it cold out of the fridge the next day.

I like eggs, and I love how even slight variations can make them seem so different. I made some quick tamagoyaki this morning and finished off some leftover tomato. My spirals weren't as thick or as tight as they should be and each layer should have been thinner, obviously. Still tasty, though!  

 

I just used a small round pan, thinking about getting a proper one or maybe one of the small rectangular Lodge pans.

So sorry that my photo does little justice to my breakfast! This is half of an English muffin toasted and rubbed with garlic, topped with a couple of asparagus spears, an egg and a few shavings of Gruyere. Breakfast had to wait until I had done some grocery shopping since I had been away in Manitoulin for three weeks. My refrigerator was embarrassingly empty and hungry I was.

[scubadoo97]

A frittata and breakfast potatoes are a good way to start the day
