Breakfast 2020!

[Smithy]

I rarely post to this topic because our breakfasts are same ol' same ol'...yogurt and/or fruit for me; cereal and fruit for him. This morning, I simply couldn't face any more yogurt. Scrambled eggs with cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and some leftover sausage from last night's dinner. We made inroads into a very old package of corn tortillas. That stuff that looks like ketchup is a very-cooked-down salsa that turned thick and sweet from the cooking-down. Hot sauce needed; I have some from Tucson thanks to @FauxPas.

 

 

(Well all right, the other reason I rarely post to this topic is that other posters' photos look so much better than mine!  )

On Friday I made some breakfast for the In Laws to have in their refrigerator - Hash Brown Bake before going in the oven:

Pie plate lined with raw shredded potatoes that are drizzled with butter and browned in the oven and then topped with chopped ham, cheese, and a seasoned egg/milk mixture.  Baked:

 

The closest I could get to showing the insides:

This is a favorite of ours and is actually very tasty.

 

Mr. Kim surprised me with breakfast on couch this morning (I fell asleep watching TV last night):

ET bagel (from the freezer), Benton’s bacon.  And a perfectly cooked egg:

Bless your hearts Kim and Mr. Kim.  I know this is a lot of work with the added stress of Covid.  Take care of yourselves, too, and get plenty of rest.  You're doing such good!

I love that hash brown breakfast bake. Make it often. Try it with corned beef and grated swiss!

[liuzhou]

Haven't done this for a while. Medium boiled duck egg in edible eggcups.

Pastries from the local bakery.  Blueberry danishes

ET bagel with cream cheese and a rare treat banana (my potassium is a bit high, so I have to limit them):

V8 with many drops of the hot sauce and a scrambled egg cooked in butter (no photo).

@BKEats  Completely different "animal" I know but have you played with jackfruit on your veg journey? There has been a run on it at Trader Joes in my area  https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/tag/Jackfruit/

Many years ago, when we were renting a house on the coast of México, the gardener presented us with an enormous jackfruit (they're all huge). I spent the better part of a morning cutting it apart. I told my husband it was like rendering a small pig! Neither of us cared for the taste, and I was particularly uninterested after all that effort. One thing that surprised me--they're sticky. I mean, really sticky. Fingers- stuck-together sticky. You have to use some type of cooking oil to clean your hands, the knife, the cutting board, the counters, the floor. It is sold all along the roads in the area, cut up already, which if you like the stuff is a real blessing. The giant fruit hanging from the rather delicate-looking trees presents an especially unusual image. Now people are using it as a meat substitute, which I don't get at all. Is it the texture? It's certainly not the taste.

Yes the texture. Like shredded meat.  Example  https://jackfruitcafe.com/

As @heidih said, it's apparently the texture.  The LA Times recently did a spread on vegan Mexican restaurants and included this recipe for vegan jackfruit "carnitas" .  The header notes say, "Here, jackfruit takes on the same shredded texture as pork. This dish calls for a good amount of oil to give the jackfruit carnitas the same fatty texture and richness of pork"

I've got a can of jackfruit in the cupboard so I may give this one a try.....it could turn up right here in the breakfast thread 🙃

This morning was a ham omelet on a Hawaiian roll.  Buttered and toasted roll turned out well:

 

This monster was 5-inches across.  And I finished it.  And then I needed a nap!

King's Hawaiian is just down the road. I used to do a sort of garlic bread with them. Scarfed up by the males.  https://www.khbakery.com/

Still a few weeks away from having home grown tomatoes.

Polenta topped with collards, boiled egg and some meat picked from the smoked hock cooked with the collards.

That's a moat of collard potlikker surrounding the polenta

 Not a lot of cooking happening at chez Nielsen at the moment. Daughter has been doing my grocery shopping and visited a local bakery where she found some savoury pastries. This one is filled with pepperonata. They reheat very nicely from frozen in the Cuisinart steam oven.  The pen is for scale. One of these makes a fine breakfast.

I think I'd need more than one - or at least double ink.

Unless you mean a female swan. Tried that that back in the late 1950s. Horrible.
