Breakfast! 2015

Host's note: this topic is continued from Breakfast! 2014.

 

 

Inspired by what was in my fridge. Some spiralized zucchini and sweet potatoes and leftover steak. I quickly sautéed the vegetables tossed in the cut-up steak and seasoned all with togarishi and a little drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Organizing some photos and came across this one from a brunch I did back last fall. The recipe comes from the Serious Eats blog, and involves making latkes, sauteeing pastrami long enough just to heat it up, stacking a couple of latkes, some pastrami, a poached egg (I fried mine), and dousing the entire thing in Hollandaise sauce.

 

It's wonderful. It's also about a million calories and a ton and a half of cholesterol, and it's really hard to eat more than half a serving because it's so rich.

 

Moderately complex preparation, but a fairly impressive Wow factor for brunch, especially if you have big eaters on hand.

Ann – I have to confess – the sausage was only home-spiced!  Regular breakfast sausage with sage worked in.  That baguette is beautiful.  I really need to do some baking!

 

Kay – that latke, pastrami, egg dish is gorgeous!  What a perfect brunch.

Not really breakfast though I did eat some of the toast and some of the eggs and called it so, this was really an experiment. "Poaching" eggs for a crowd in a muffin tin is not something I am likely to do but it occurred to me that when one is stuck with aging supermarket eggs then it might be a fine idea to avoid the whispery whites. Obviously 11 minutes at 350°F was a little too long but this has enough potential that I may well try it again.

Sort of made this accidentally.  People arriving for the morning shift of baby holding..

Chicken karaage. Because I can.

This morning’s breakfast from the freezer:

I still have a few sausage rolls from Christmas.  If only we hadn’t finished the little quiches, this would have been the perfect breakfast!

Pigs in blankets are hard to beat. May be my breakfast today!

I'd never heard of chicken karaage before, Anna. Now that I've seen your photo and looked it up, I think I'll have to try it.

Watch the chef from Cooking with Dog on YouTube if you can. I am guessing perhaps not while you're glamping. And before anyone gets bent out of shape it's cooking with dog not cooking dog. The host is a charming poodle.

Airedales are better to cook with.

Had some friends over to see the baby, yesterday..  What started as two friends from Philly coming to visit, ended in 12 people coming through out the day..  

 

First meal of the day was steak and eggs with hash browns, a beautiful rye toast and bacon... 

 

My mother had purchased a lot of meat for me at the local butcher.. One thing she got was flap steak.  i have not really prepared it too often but, it was a beautiful collection of meat.. 

 

Started with a coffee rub as, it was breakfast.  

 

Salt, peppercorns and coffee beans. 

 

 

served medium rare

 

 

Bacon and rosemary hashbrowns

 

 

eggs fried in bacon fat. 

 

 

as other people started to arrive, i just started baking bacon and making pancakes for them.. and the flan from the other night.

so, the night before, when i was baking the potatoes for the follow day's hash browns, i was playing around with making a potato plate.. I thought it would be interesting to serve the eggs, the sliced steak, i roasted tomatoes and like a bernaise sauce all on top of the potato plate.   but, it didn't happen.. but, it want to eventually do something like that. 

 

 

i overcooked it just all bit but, it was still really good.. still like the idea. 

[Anna N]

Anybody remember this?

(Rest in peace, Steven.)

Well as I struggled to close my overstuffed freezer drawer, I was reminded of this. I have yet to fully commit to it but I did sort out the freezer drawer and discovered one lonely serving of cabbage rolls. That is how this morning's breakfast came about.

A facebook friend posted "egg white nests", so I tried some today. They remind me of the egg white "buns" I used to make on the Dr. Atkins diet, except today's didn't have cream of tartar powder. 

 

I need to make a deeper and bigger well in the middle before I bake the nests, but they were good.

 

Egg white nest with yolk

 

 

Mixed up some cooked bacon and sweet and serrano peppers for hubby's

 

 

As we are trying to cut back on starches such as bread, potato, and rice, I'll be making more of the "buns" for lunch tomorrow!

Unusually for me, I felt like breakfast this morning:

The sausage is Jimmy Dean fully cooked patties.  CI rated them as the best – over any of the uncooked tubes, but only if you pan-fry them – no microwaving.  I had a coupon and decided to give them a try.  They are very good, better than any national brand I’ve ever tasted.  But pretty expensive.  Without a coupon, I think I’ll stick to the tubes.

I'm with you, Kim.

 

I like Jimmy Dean (hot) raw sausage too, to which I add crushed red pepper, ground sage and black pepper, but I refuse to pay extra for leftovers.
