Breakfast! 2016 (Part 1)

[HungryChris]

Decided to go simple this morning with a sort of Mexican bruschetta. A slice of fresh Italian bread that had been generously drizzled with a good Sicilian olive oil and then topped with some freshly made fiery hot Mexican salsa. So good, I had a second.

I'm dieting again....just a couple more pounds to go.  So, my breakfast is 1/4 fresh pineapple pieces topped with 1 oz of ham.  (No need for a picture.)  Maybe a poppadum which I find keeps me feeling more satisfied seeing it is made with lentil flour.  Argh!

[liuzhou]

Just finished breakfast.

 

 

My neighbour's home made blood sausage, poached duck egg, my home made rosemary bread with butter.

 I finally made a loaf of Ken Forkish Saturday Bread and kept it for myself!   This morning I toasted a slice and topped it with my favourite blue cheese.

Corn beef hash, grilled cheese, freshly squeezed apple and grapefruit juice, coffee au lait

I believe cardboard would be good with that view.

I agree, kayb, but the breakfast looks mighty fine too. Fresh squeezed juice! I'm in.

Although I don't keep kosher for passover and keeps eating whatever I want, I do wait every year for the holiday's food, including matzo (which I find to be delicious  ).

A favorite of mine is simply piece of matzo with cottage cheese and pungent chazeret (grated horseradish and sweet beetroot). It sounds a little weird, but it's delicious.

Asparagus, bacon, egg and toast.  All of which needed using up.x

Got some man'oushe bread from a friend, topped with zaatar and olive oil, traditionally baked until well browned and slightly crisp in the edges.

I'm with you on that approach to the holiday, I put leftover charoset (chopped apple/walnut/dried apricot relish) on my morning oats

@shane 

looks tasty Shane

i just used a horseradish cream and beet purée with my baked gefilte fish at our last Seder. Flavors work nicely together.  I don't mind matzoh either.  But by day 8 the family is done

 

our harosset is a date based.  Sweet stuff.

@BeeZee Oats with charroset sounds very tasty and makes much since, given that all ingredients are common additions by themselves.

@scubadoo97 Iv'e never seen a baked gefilte fish, only boiled. 

 

Today I made matzebrei and charoset to accompaniment it.

My charroset is made with cooked tart apple and dates in almost equal proportions, some raisins and toasted walnuts, a little sweet red wine. Spiced with cinnamon, a touch of black pepper, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice. I blend it until quite smooth then add some more thinly chopped walnuts for texture.

 

 

Defiantly not the most aesthetic of preparations, but such is Ashkenazi food at it's best.

[BeeZee]

well...charoset is supposed to resemble mortar...

 Fried egg sandwiches.   One of the very few reasons I keep ketchup in the house.  These sandwiches can only be made with fresh bread in my opinion and this was the bread that I posted about in The Bread Topic. Despite all the challenges  the bread turned out just fine.

If there is a better way to start the day it hasn't made it into my repertoire yet.  I was given some farm fresh eggs yesterday and I swear my sleep was disturbed by my wish for morning to arrive quickly.  Gently poached eggs, toasted home-made sour cream sandwich loaf and a black coffee. Damn. Life is good. 

[blue_dolphin]

@Anna N, your breakfast is killing me!  I've been out of eggs for a while now, pending today's local farmers' market.  I know I could run out for some grocery store eggs but I'm holding out for the best!

[rotuts]

@Anna N  

 

all you need is some sausage on that plate to make it perfect.

Definitely my kind of breakfast! Makes me wish I had some fresh eggs right now so I could have that.

[HungryChris]

Poached duck eggs, English muffin, home fries w onions and a cappuccino. The barter system is in full swing. Fresh salsa for fresh duck eggs. What's not to like?

A scaled-down, 2-egg version of this shaved asparagus frittata from Smitten Kitchen:

 

 

I didn't have prosciutto or scallions so I browned some diced pancetta and thinly sliced onions in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients. 

[kayb]

Local strawberries, homemade Instant Pot yogurt, homemade granola. No photo because I forgot, but it surely was good.

[Anna N]

 

Breakfast tostada with fried egg, salsa and grated cheese. 

[Okanagancook]

A few refried beans Anna N and that would be a perfect breakfast! 

[rotuts]

and a Mimosa with a shot of tequila mixed in.
