And yet, you lived to tell the tale !

Pretty before, less pretty but more delicious after; apple puff pastry roses. It's just slices of macerated apple, wound through puff pastry cups.

Baked with innards of apricot jam and cinnamon/clove/nutmeg/chilli and ground rose petal sugar.

Totally gorgeous.

Leftovers from yesterday's breakfast repurposed into a sandwich.  Chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese on a Portuguese roll.

Where on earth do you come up with these combinations!  Very unusual but delicious looking.

Tripe soup from Adams Polish deli, Vernon, CT. I find that a bit of garlic powder and just enough hot sauce to get your attention makes it perfect. Will look to get more next trip.

Egg Salad , ran out of toast :

 

 

3 min HP IP'd egg  large.  chilled over night in frig w 11 of its friends , Hellmans , S & P

 

delicious.   this is one of the rare , if not unique instances  ( egg salad ) where a little less mayo is better than a little more.

 

IP thread here:

 

note the yolk.   Yum !

[robirdstx]

After last night's heavy dinner, I wanted something much lighter for breakfast. I steamed a half dozen eggs on the stove top and, after letting them chill for a bit, had one for breakfast today.

 

 

Easy peel!

 

 

Perfect!

 

 

Salt and Black Pepper added!

I agree completely with less mayo for egg salad.  When I was looking for help to make perfect egg salad, folks here advised me to use much less mayo than I thought would be necessary and taste.  I probably use a third of what I used to!

I always steam my eggs now.  I saw it on America's Test Kitchen and it works for both soft- and hard-cooked.  Easier to peel, too, it seems to me.

Just gorgeous. With a wedge of cheddar on the side!

@rotuts egg salad was calling to me this morning!

 

 

Egg Salad with Green Onion on a buttered Croissant with salted Roma Tomato

 

[rotuts]

@robirdstx 

 

nice.   very nice.  like the green onion addition.   do you   "" window-grow "" your own ?

 

now that I have some  sourdough bread from TJ 's   ( pigs that fly clone 0

 

Im thinking of a tomato - egg salad toastie soon

 

lightly toast sourdough in the CSB  for a little base line crunch    sliced tomatoes on top , hint of steam-broil on them

 

then a 2 egg salad on top of that.   steam broil until lightly golden.

 

egg salad is a frequently forgotten gem  sur-le-plate.

Thank you! Great idea re the green onion. I've got some started now.

The last of the leftover scalloped potatoes, stir fried zucchini, eggs and a side of kimchi. The potatoes and kimchi, to my surprise, were an epic combo. I loved it.

Left over steak and feta cheese mini sandwiches.

[liamsaunt]

Breakfast strata made with Portuguese sweet bread, chicken apple sausage, scallions, and sharp cheddar cheese.

Here's a "Summer Punch" plumcot and an "Emerald Beaut" pluot from the farmers market, brushed with a mix of ginger infused simple syrup and lemon juice, ready for the oven:

 

The Emerald Beaut sort of fell apart during the last few minutes of broiling but still made it on to the plate:  toasted multigrain bread, goat cheese and broiled fruit:

It's early, so excuse my rather "interesting" plating...

 

 

Local tomato. Toasted organic sourdough peasant bread. Duke's Mayo. Fleur de sel. Tomato trimmings.

Why not?

[weinoo]

Continuing with the same theme...

 

 

Open faced fried egg sandwich (broken yolk, of course) with melted cheese atop toasted organic sourdough peasant bread. Side of heirloom tomatoes.

[scubadoo97]

I smoked a point end corned beef yesterday to make pastrami.  This morning used the ends and chopped them  up and mixed with a scramble egg for a pastrami and egg sandwich on toasted Cuban bread.  Topped with some baby kale so it sounded  healthy 

[rotuts]

late breakfast :

 

TJ's Bratwurst   ( from Germany ! )

Zucchini and carrot muffins with oatmeal bran, a little olive oil (though butter also works) and a touch of cinnamon. With very little added sugar, it's has a nice savory-sweet balance. The grated zucchini gives them a nicely moist texture. The carrot is finely diced to give some texture.

The muffins were served with tahini and ricotta.

I used a double baking method, in which I bake the muffins in their pan until just baked through, then take them out and place on a wire rack. I increase the oven temp a bit and turn on convection baking, the muffins go back in for 15min and turn brown and crisp from all sides, without over baking. I use this method for all muffins, both savoy and sweet.
