Breakfast 2020!

piloncillo is an under appreciated inexpensive treat. My Kroger used to carry it in the bulk bin but stopped that along with jamaica - sad  day...

My cleaning angel moved on and I really miss her.  Haven't been able to find a replacement yet and things are getting ugly.

 

My cleaning angel is a luxury I probably ought not splurge on ... but I do! My original one moved away but her friend/fellow angel "inherited" me.

Omelet stuffed with all of the broccoli I had left in my fridge and toped with sharp cheddar cheese.

I say yay to the perfectly toasted English Muffin, that's exactly how I like them. Averting my eyes from the eggs...

Yesterday's breakfast

Scrambled Harissa Tofu with Avocado & Cucumber Salad from Ottolenghi's Simple. The scramble was served, per the recipe, on toasted sourdough

 

Today's breakfast:

Black Bean & Tofu Scramble from A Modern Cook's Year, served with a whole grain pita bread from the recipe in Shaya

[lindag]

Today’s late breakfast was Just Crack an Egg scrambler with KAF’s Peasant Bread.  This bread is so simple that the taste of the butter really shines through.  Makes great toast although in my CSO it takes two cycles to get brown.

Braunschweiger and red onion on toasted rye. 

[liamsaunt]

Turkish poached eggs on herbed yogurt with spiced butter and some flatbread from the freezer

Avocado & kimchi toast topped with a poached egg

This idea is from Julia Turshen's Small Victories. There's a little drizzle of mayo + kimchi juice. 

The avocado was a Stewart avocado.  I should have taken a photo before I started mangling it.  The Stewart has a very thin, smooth skin that's edible.  It's black when ripe and has a rich texture and flavor which surprised me. I was afraid it would have that thin, watery texture that some smooth-skin varieties like the Fuerte have so I was pleasantly surprised.

I had a craving for ginger cookies.

Not just any ginger cookies, but soft chewy ginger cookies with bits of Crystallized (Candied) Ginger throughout.

So since I was up early I made a batch.

 

Early morning treat with our cappuccinos.

Toast topped with scrambled eggs on one slice and sautéed mushrooms with a drizzle of balsamic on the other. 

[blue_dolphin]

A variation on the Baked Eggs with Crushed Chickpeas, Chorizo, and Bread Crumbs from Alison Roman's Dining In.  Recipe available online here. 

I used Marcella beans instead of chickpeas and poached the egg instead of baking it.

Steamed bread is underappreciated here in the US. I really enjoy the scallion version that pulls apart in layers with Filipino longanisa alongside.

Damn. As I spread my toasted rye with goat cheese this morning I stared at the ginger marmalade and said, ”Nah”. Should have followed my instincts.
