Thank you.  I'll have to try making my own someday but that $2.49 price point on the TJ's product isn’t really incentivizing me!  How well do they freeze and reheat?  Do they maintain the crispy flakiness?

As long as there are decent tomatoes in the house, I’ll be tempted to have this for breakfast:

I honestly don’t know, this just came to me in a newsletter today and I haven’t tried yet. I will though, knowing how much you enjoy the TJ ones.

I meant to ask this before  - am I looking at mayo qon the 'mater - if so why on top?

[blue_dolphin]

Added a splash of cream to yesterday's fiasco, piled it on toasted sourdough and ran it under the broiler with a sprinkle of Parm to turn it into this caramelized (ahem) leek, mushroom and country ham toastie:

 

Tasted pretty good. Probably could have gone ahead with the quiche, even if it wouldn't have been the light, bright spring style I had in mind!

Honestly this is probably one of those "my mom, my grandma, and my greatgrandma always did it that way" things 😁!  Putting it on the toast would make more sense.  And I seem to remember doing that sometime in the past.  It's really just when I'm on automatic.  And in the morning, I always am!

Yesterday:

[liuzhou]

Perhaps an odd choice for breakfast. No apologies.

 

Simple bucatini with homemade pesto.

None needed - I'd start my day with a bowl of pasta over cereal - hot or cold - any day of the week!

 

I've been rather remiss about my breakfasts of late.  There was a nice leek quiche with asparagus, mushrooms and red bell peppers. 

This probably accounted for 3 or 4 breakfasts so the last slice gets a second photo:

 

Then there was the last pumpernickel bagel from my recent batch.  This one with the dried apricot and thyme cream cheese schmear from Cathy Barrow's bagel book:

Both were good.  The schmear was not as appealing to me as much as the others I've made from the book.  Perhaps I could have gotten better dried apricots?  Perhaps I don't like sweet stuff so much with my bagels? 

Tuna fish salad on seeded spinach waffle which was one of the last bread-type items in my house on this particular morning:

No complaints from me.  I always think of @Anna N when I make something like this because I know she very much dislikes tuna, at least in this form.  I believe I made this more than once before yesterday's bakery run provided me with more options.

Today's breakfast was the same as yesterday's, a roasted mushroom hand pie from a local bakery:

I love pasta for breakfast! Just another form of carbs (like toast, cereal, waffles...) but more exciting to my palate.

And much like the items you mention, you can always put an egg on it - as I often do!

[Kim Shook]

This morning:

ET bagel with cream cheese and additional ET seasoning and Easter eggs (still)!  

 

[blue_dolphin]

Toasted English muffin topped with butter and marmalade mixed with fresh ginger.

This was inspired by the Sandwiches of history guy and I must say that adding freshly grated ginger will really give your marmalade a punch!

 

 

[blue_dolphin]

Made the recipe for French baked eggs with smoked salmon and tarragon cream from Melissa Clark's Dinner in French and tipped it out onto a toasted English muffin instead of eating it out of the ramekin.

A little jam buffet with my 1/2 English muffin

One morning, in Beacon, NY last week...

 

 

Eggs over medium, grits with butter and cheese, ham steak.

At BJ’s Soul Food Restaurant. Main St., Beacon, NY.

 

[Shelby]

Grits!

I had a beautiful bunch of ramps (my first ramps this year), and took a few of them, along with some leftover potatoes, to make:

 

 

This frittata.  And served it for breakfast this morning:

 

 

With some buttered, toasted rye bread and surprisingly good cherry tomatoes.

[weinoo]

 

Fried egg, jamón serrano, cheddar, avocado on toasted Dave's thin-sliced something or other.

[liuzhou]

A good healthy British breakfast. Heinz Beanz on Toast.

 

[RWood]

Mother’s Day Brunch

Dutch Baby with arugula, bacon, roasted tomatoes and gruyere 

Breakfast potatoes 

5” coconut cake

Roederer Brut

 

[heidih]

@RWood Any chance of the cake's inside view? Nice brunch selections.  My mom used to do the sweet Dutch Baby (powdered sugar + lemon juice)  with bacon alongside. Your savory one really appeals to me.
