Baked two pizzas yesterday for breakfast. The dough had been in the fridge since last Tuesday.    

I had intended to make the pizzas for dinner on Sunday night and never got around to it.  

 

 

 

One for my son.

 

Topped with tomatoes, olives and basil.

 

 

and one for Moe and I

 

topped with mushrooms.

[HungryChris]

Garlic, zucchini crostini pizza.

Yesterday:  IP eggs; fried garden potatoes/onion/prosciutto; garden tomato

Today:  IP eggs mixed with homemade mayo(!); prosciutto; toast; and a peach not shown.

[liuzhou]

 

Muesli with added raisins. Black coffee.

[blue_dolphin]

Toasted ciabatta topped with homemade whole milk ricotta mixed with some tapenade and lemon zest, olive oil drizzle.  Pickled mushrooms inspired by the ones @Anna N made over here and farmers market tomato.

As I was eating, I kept thinking that a glass of wine would go nicely with this so perhaps there will be a repeat later in the day....or another day.

[HungryChris]

Stir fried zucchini, fresh tomatoes and over easy eggs. No real complaints except that I had to get up from the table and make some Italian toast for "moppage". Not sure why I didn't see that coming.

Other than that, no complaints!

Toasted ciabatta, a layer of homemade ricotta mixed with bit of toast dope and broiled.  All topped with sliced Dapple Dandy pluots. Black coffee.

Probably the last iteration of the bacon-egg-muffin.  With sweet potato fries, watermelon and tomato.

Toast bread round, pre-bake w/o egg for 5 min, add egg and bake an additional 8 min.  400 degF steam-bake in Cuisi steam oven.

Bacon crispy - check

Toast round crisp - check

Egg yolk runny - check

 

I much appreciate @robirdstx's suggestion to pre-cook the bacon cup with toast round and spinach/mushroom/onion layer and @rotuts's recommendation of a CI piece on baked eggs Florentine.

The sweet potato fries were the last of a bag in the freezer and I put them into the unused muffin cups to bake along with the egg.

@blue_dolphin 

 

Spetacualr !

 

were the SPF's crisp ?   the look it 

 

 

[blue_dolphin]

They're just the Trader Joe's frozen sweet potato fries but they do crisp up fairly nicely.  In my regular oven, they can go from soft to cinders awfully quickly but the steam-bake function seems more forgiving.

I gave them 10 minutes on a baking sheet then stuck them in the muffin cups.  Not exactly my usual protocol but it got everything ready at the same time!

[rotuts]

TJ's SPF's neer worked for me.  did not think to use the CSB

 

that's the temp and total time  if one were not to use cups ?

 

Ill try them again.

Steam bake, 425 deg F for around 22 minutes.  I usually pull them out and flip the bigger ones over at some point.

I wouldn't say they are super crispy but they do get a nice crunch at the browned edges, especially when you eat them right away.

[rotuts]

Yes, direct from the freezer.

Great job blue_dolphin.   Very "showy", excellent for a breakfast for guests.

This morning was some fried potatoes and spiced lamb mince that I wanted to use up (made for Bon Appetite's recipe which has the minced stuffed inside a pita bread then cooked on the grill...a lunch item).

Lamb anytime of the day is fine with me.  We get lovely free range, grass fed lamb and it is very mild and tender.

 

 

[robirdstx]

I had a few tablespoons of rendered duck fat, from the pan-seared duck breast we had for dinner the other night, and one lonely potato, so...

 

 

...we had duck fat roasted potatoes and onion, eggs over easy (also cooked in duck fat) and applewood smoked bacon.

[scubadoo97]

The start of something good this morning

 

[HungryChris]

Fried eggs, French bread toasties with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and cheese.

HC

 

[Shelby]

Oh, sigh, look at those tomatoes.  YUM, Chris.

[Okanagancook]

This morning, lamb again only this time cooked in the flat bread on a griddle pan with a fresh peach.  The lamb is all gone now :-(

Ham and potatoes tomorrow.

[chefmd]

I am by myself this weekend and can eat whatever suits me for any given meal.

Tomato and cucumber salad with creme fraiche and dill.  Veggies from my neighbors garden.

 

 

Last of homemade bread pan fried in duck fat.

 

 

Hot dogs that split open in  CSO steam bake!  Still tasty!
