Breakfast 2022

[kayb]

Bet that would be good with Little Green Dress.

[Smithy]

Ham and cheese on toasted sourdough, all warmed in the microwave, topped by the last of the summer's ripe tomatoes.

 

 

Delicious. Filling. Time for a nap now!

[blue_dolphin]

Spicy Roasted New Potatoes with Lemon and Herbs from Falastin with an egg on top.  

This is an excellent potato recipe (available online here), though I think I might par-boil the potatoes first as the slices of red chile and some of the cherry tomatoes were quite charred by the time the spuds were done.

M’mmm. I can just taste it. 

[Kim Shook]

@Ann_T – I am ever envious of your halibut.  I’m not a huge fan of fishy breakfasts, but I’d eat your battered halibut any time of the day or night!

 

@blue_dolphin – your eggs always look absolutely perfect.  What I see are done whites and gooey yolks.  Mmmm.

 

Last couple of mornings:

 

[blue_dolphin]

Cauliflower Mash with Smoked Trout from I Dream of Dinner.  The header note for this recipe just says, "Kinda sorta colcannon."

The mash is about 1/3 potato, 2/3 cauliflower and I used baby kale as the green. I added some diced, salt-preserved lemon to my bowl and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.  I'd say both are musts. WRT mashed veg, I come from long lines of ricers, on both sides 🙃 so that's what I used, but I chose the medium size to maintain a bit of texture. 

I was thinking of adding cheese to the leftovers but I think I'll just have another meal.  Warming, comforting but not too heavy. 

[blue_dolphin]

Turned some of yesterday's cauliflower/potato mash (without the smoked trout and preserved lemon and plus a bit of diced country ham and some cheese) into pancakes. 

With a scrambled duck egg, cherry tomatoes, sour cream and pickled onions

[Kim Shook]

Out all morning, but this was the first thing I ate, so I'm calling it breakfast:

Whomp cornbread rolls with honey-butter spread and the best scrambled eggs I've made in forever - soft and tender but not WET!

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

 

 

A work outside all day, or a doze off on the couch, breakfast: herbed eggs, sausage, sauteed boletes, potato and pepper hash and a grilled tomato.

 

 

[Anna N]

Egg and blue cheese scramble with some rather tired cocktail tomatoes. 

[Kim Shook]

Nothing really appealed for breakfast, so I ended up with toast and jam, which always suits:

[Ann_T]

Baked six small baguettes from a 700g batch of dough that had been in the fridge since Sunday morning.

Taken out of the fridge last night and left on the counter for 8 hours. Last baguette out of the oven this morning before 6:30 AM.

 

I still had brisket in gravy in the freezer that I had vacuumed packaged a couple of months ago.

 

Made a great breakfast sandwich for two on a split baguette.

Kind of a pre-blender hummus. Nice contrasts between the chickpeas, creamy tahini sauce, bright, acidic green sauce and toasted pita

 

Sounds right! Though I'll also mention that massabaha is usually served warmer than hummus, and as you said, with some acidic garlicky sauce, often also a bit of chili.

Yes!  This was ladled from the pot on the stove into the bowl so it was very warm. The header notes in the cookbook say it means swimming or floating and my chickpeas weren't quite bobbing about in the tahini sauce but it was a warm, saucy dish.

@Senior Sea Kayaker, that is one fabulous looking breakfast.  I needed a nap just looking at it!  

Can you say more about the herbed eggs?  Looks kinda like an egg pancake with herbs and 2 yolks on top?  Is it baked or cooked on the stovetop?

[Anna N]

Pork and vegetable potstickers (store-bought). 

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

 

I just separate the eggs, mix the herbs and seasoning into the whites, then proceed as for sunnyside up by pouring the egg whites into a pan, strategically place

the egg yolks and finish (I prefer to add a bit of water, cover, and firm up the whites (I don't like crispy bottoms on the whites).

This dates back to coming up with a version of green eggs and ham for one of my nephews (I was called out: "that's not how they look")

@Ann_T - gorgeous sandwiches.  I love a messy beef sandwich!  

 

@Anna N - I'm always surprised at how good those frozen potstickers are.  

 

My car is in the shop today, so I dropped Mr. Kim off at the office this morning and took the opportunity to stop at the “Up All Night” bakery.  They are only open until early afternoon and I'd heard very good things about them:

All croissants.  From 12 o’clock: jalapeno & cheddar, chocolate, orange morning bun, and VA ham & cheese.  I had the ham and cheese for breakfast:

I got the top a little extra toasty in the CSO warming it up.  Great country ham!

[blue_dolphin]

I was going to try @Senior Sea Kayaker's herbed eggs but the first egg I cracked was a double yolker and I managed to nick one so I pivoted to scrambled with tarragon and smoked trout

[Ann_T]

I had half of a chicken breast from last night's Chicken Kiev.   

I pulled off the breading, and thinly sliced it for Moe's breakfast.

The leftover chicken had a really nice flavour left from the compound butter. 

Toasted chicken sandwich.

I love having a freezer full of sourdough ET bagels from our favorite bagel place:

[billyhill]

Omlettata with onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach

[blue_dolphin]

Yesterday's breakfast was some spiced chickpeas (balilah) from Falastin and pita from Shaya.  The chickpeas are delicious.  The recipe uses lemon zest, diced lemon pulp, lemon juice and thin slices of lemon plus plenty of parsley and mint, green onion and red onion, toasted and crushed cumin and coriander seeds and Aleppo pepper with olive oil, of course. 

I'd brought both to a gathering on Thursday evening and these were leftovers.  

 

Today I had French toast with a little bourbon maple syrup, breakfast sausage,  a sliced persimmon and two mugs of black coffee.

The other half of the French toast slice was staying warm in the pan when I took the photo.

Asian noodles tossed  with butter, blue cheese and lots of black pepper.

I love any kind of noodles/sauce for breakfast!
