1) Make tea.

2) Put steel-cut oats on to simmer.

3) Come browse eGullet while sipping my tea.

4) Think "Mmmm, smells like oatmeal cookies!" 

5) (penny drops)

Breakfast this morning was a banana. No picture. You know what a banana looks like!

The last of the risotto from last night's dinner, with a little added butter and black pepper.

Tomato, salt, pepper on pumpernickel.

The perceptive eye may discern that my supply of Crystal hot sauce has fallen precipitously low. Fear not, it's on my to-do list today.

Yes.  Cooked stove top in salted water.   Terribly old-fashioned.

Have you ever tried Chouloua chili lime hot sauce?  I have been known to do a shot of it straight up......

No, I have not, but I will look for it. Sometimes I think breakfast is just an excuse to have hot sauce.

Leftover beef and broccoli

Three tiny slices of home-made seeded bread with home-made cultured butter. Just enough food to satisfy the requirement "take with food". 

I once pointed out to the gp I go to that I could hardly be expected to lose weight when  doctors are continually prescribing medicines and vitamin supplements that say "take with food".

Shaved brussels sprouts with walnuts and pecorino cheese.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uova con la salsa ("eggs in sauce"), sesame-poppyseed bread.

What I believe to be the last zucchini from the garden this season.

Yestradys breakfast was very light. Ricotta (store bought, but very good) with pomegranate. Plus a few sable grapes, and turkish coffee with cardamon.

 

[chromedome]

Leftover plum galette from Saturday. Pie for breakfast has always been an acceptable alternative at my house, especially when I lack the gumption to put on oatmeal. 

 

Sorry, no pic because I didn't think of it until afterwards (when I'd had some caffeine).

Shirred Eggs and Toast

Egg, bacon and cheese on a mini croissant:

Had a few of those little croissants leftover from yesterday's brunch so I refreshed this one in the Cuisi steam oven and decorated it up for breakfast.

My wife's most requested work day breakfast.  An egg roll up

 

 

 

I know it's an old post, but any chance of a quick overview of ingredients and method? That looks super tasty.

 

My breakfast this morning was leftovers. Cottage pie from the other night topped with some of the gravy from last night's pot roast, which significantly improved the not-enough-sauce issue in the cottage pie. (The gravy was made from water and some red wine and a couple bay leaves cooked with the roast, which I then reduced a bit on the stove top before adding some extra salt, pepper, and a shot of low sodium soy sauce. Thickened with a slurry of corn starch as I wanted it to cling to the pot roast.)

 

The meat mixture in the cottage pie also has a better flavor in general having sat in the fridge overnight, so I think if I wanted to make The Ultimate Cottage Pie I might experiment with making the meat mixture the night before so the flavors have time to blend. Then heat, top with mashed potatoes, into the oven. I'm probably too lazy to actually try that, though, unless I do it sometime as a way of partly preparing dinner in advance. (Meat mix and potatoes in the freezer separately, to be combined and heated before serving. Benefit being you don't have to put it in the freezer in a large oven safe container.)

Thanks.  Your Cottage pie sounds and looks delicious and I could absolutely eat that for breakfast.  

 

The egg roll up was pretty simple.  Just a fried egg on a flour tortilla with some diced tomatoes, sliced mini multicolored sweet peppers, romane  and a little cheese.   I used a cast iron comal which seems to stay on my range.  My secret to keeping it sealed while browning on the comal is to smear a thin film of  uncooked egg white on one edge of the tortilla before rolling. While browning this turns to food glue.

Second half of the last garden zucchini.

Did you under cook the egg a little from how you ultimately wanted it to allow for a bit more cooking while the whole thing was being browned? I'm definitely going to experiment with that idea, browning the tortilla makes it look much more appealing than other egg wraps and breakfast burritos, as does having some fresh vegetables included. My housemate likes some sliced avocado with ground chipotle or similar sprinkled over it with his eggs - I bet that would be a tasty addition also.

I do a broken yolk and try not to over cook it but the time spent browning on a hot comal is pretty short

[HungryChris]

Breakfast this morning included an old favorite, blistered shishito peppers and a new and upcoming favorite, crispy fried polenta strips, the perfect foil for my favorite hot sauce.
