Oh that right up my ally

Nicholai – I had to Google Knafe bel Jibn.  It sounds wonderful and, like scuba, right up my alley!

 

Breakfast this morning – I couldn’t decide which I wanted more, tomatoes on toast or some of my friend’s good fig preserves.  So I didn’t decide:

Continuing the "Things on Toast" theme:

 

whole wheat bread with truffled goat cheese and Mr. Stripey tomato slices

potato bread with some peanut butter and Cape May wildflower honey

Bran muffins this morning. No photo. They looked the same as the last time I posted them here. 

[robirdstx]

No photo here either. Two slices of thick applewood smoked bacon this morning.

Two excellent looking sandwiches in a row!

I made grits for Sunday breakfast and sometimes make a lot more than we need. Nothing new there.

Fried grits like fried polenta are so good. Usually a fried egg on top is heaven but have had decent tomatoes and randomly bought a Florida avocado the other day. Unlike the Hass they are big but more watery in texture and flavor. This is the avocado I grew up eating. It's been a long time and they looked good and were on sale so decided to give it a try

 

Hi scubadoo97,

 

Your breakfast looks absolutely great to me.

 

I used to have leftover grits frequently too. Yours look lightly fried, and I like mine pretty browned.

 

I quit making extra because one of the few kitchen tasks I just despise is cleaning up grease pops all over the range top and surrounding area. I actually bought a stainless steel splatter screen to deal with fried leftover grits and fried corned beef hash. I started making corned beef hash in the oven to avoid the cleanup, but haven't found a way to deal with leftover grits, which I really like fried. I use 4 c water to 1 c grits on the initial cook, and cook them a lot longer, because they are gritty and live up to their name when following package instructions, so mine are creamier, softer and contain more water than most.

 

Any advice on technique?

 

I suppose I could follow directions to reduce water content, but that means I'd have to make a special batch for frying, because I just don't like gritty grits.

[scubadoo97]

TFTC, appreciate the kind words.

I usually just follow the recommended ratio, can't remember is that 3:1 or 4:1. I also cook them a long time and add a touch of butter and possibly some cheese for creaminess and flavor. If they get tight I add more water as needed

Left over grits get refrigerated and then they are easy to cut for pan frying.

I usually just dust with Wondra and either use a small amount of oil or cooking spray to lightly brown. So little mess. A heavier browning is always nice just takes a bit more time which is at a premium on a work day morning

eggs scrambled with tomatoes, bacon, onion, and provolone

Something a little different for a late breakfast this morning! I had these beautiful mushrooms, some leftover meat sauce with hot Italian sausage, black olives and cheese, so I made pizza for breakfast.

Pressure cooker "poached" eggs on toasted, home-made bread.

[MSRadell]

Great looking eggs Anna, what procedure do you use to do them in the pressure cooker? I love post eggs but have never done them in a pressure cooker, maybe I'm missing a great technique!

I have learned a New Thing. I did not know there was such a creature as an egg poacher cup. Ordering a set today. Thanks!

[ElsieD]

I had been meaning to make these for a while now and finally got around to it this morning. They are apple filled aebleskiver (aebleskiver?). We dipped them in maple syrup while we were eating them.

[Kim Shook]

Breakfast this morning:

ET bagels, scrambled eggs w/ cheese and sausage.  And watermelon:

Kim,

 

I would love to share your breakfast.

 

Have you thought of putting your black sea salt through a grinder? A regular pepper grinder would work, if you have a spare. If you don't, the cheapest grinder may be the Trader Joe's plastic ones they sell smoked salt, Himalayan pink salt, and some of their other spices in. I was a little skeptical when I saw that the actual grinding mechanism is also plastic, but they defy logic and physics and actually work. They also come filled, and are refillable. You could empty the contents to another container and have a grinder for your black salt for $1.99 (the last time I bought one anyway).

[Anna N]

What a way to start the day. Toast made from homemade bread, cream cheese and Suvir's Tomato Chutney.

[suzilightning]

Just finished making a bunch of whole wheat blueberry pancakes that can be heated up easily by Johnnybird in the microwave then maple syrup while I am out and about...

Thanks for the Crepes – that is an awfully good idea!  Shelby apparently has the same issues with her flakey black salt – hope she sees this, too!  Thank you!

I am getting tired of green ..now it is time for red and I received my first sampling of this years crop in red from New Mexico ..YAY!

 

Red stacked enchiladas ..ice cold fresh picked concord grapes with coriander seed, basil and sliced fresh Korean chilies and some garlic …

breakfast has always set the tone for the day for me ..today I need to bust my ass 

 

PS my husband says I am unable to  cook eggs ..look at that thing????!!!!  it is a perfect egg I say! Especially for an enchilada..it is  crispy on the bottom and raw on the top ..he is very critical of me and my egg! 

 

(not shown is a huge glass of water and a  mason jar full of black coffee..and motrin )
