Breakfast 2023

[Ann_T]

Moe wanted last night's leftover soup for breakfast with the

 

little sourdough roll baked this morning. Buttered.

Turned last night's appetizer of Baked Brie with Armagnac Prunes, Mushrooms and Thyme into a grilled cheese sandwich

[Duvel]

Croissant with Comté, bacon and a fried egg. Sorry, no money shot of the egg yolk oozing out - by the split second the yolk molecules needed to overcome their inner viscosity after the releasing cut the whole croissant had already been consumed 🤭

Cheese and pig in a croissant is one of my favourite things

You can never go wring with this combo.

On Friday, I dropped Jessica off at work at her (temp 😔) job and ran errands for almost 5 hours without eating.  Noticed a first at the Kroger bakery - a blackberry/lemon muffin.  I thought it sounded like a wonderful combination.  Well:

Sigh. 

 

Today:

Ham, egg, and cheese on a Lidl croissant.  (More cheese and pig, @&roid!)

It looks delicious, despite the disaster.

Breakfast for two.

Bought these wonderful buns from a Victoria bakery yesterday and decided

to make toasted bacon and tomato sandwiches for breakfast.

You may or may not notice that I rarely post a pasta dish. I am not a fan. I am especially not a fan of one that is tomato based. (A lifetime of Indifferent bowls of spaghetti and meatballs.) Sometimes I leap onto an idea without really considering if it's appropriate for me. This was OK but not something I care to repeat.

Looks tasty! Although I expect some of your delicious bread would have been an improvement. 😁

 

I am most impressed with the tomatoes, though. They look remarkably good for this time of year.

 

Do looks deceive? 😉

Omelet with a filling of feta, pre-cooked sausage, and chopped chipotle, garlic, and ginger.

In the header notes for the Cracked Green Olive and Armagnac Prune Relish in Taste & Technique, Naomi Pomeroy says the relish was inspired by the chicken Marbella in the Silver Palate Cookbook so I tossed the relish with some chicken and loaded it onto a toasted baguette:

Finally all caught up reading five days of posts. Looks like we'll be snowed/iced in today so a quasi lazy day.

Some recent breakfasts.

 

Eggs, tomatoes, toasted naan and blueberries:

 

 

Soft scrambled eggs over leftover pan fried noodles, peas and mushrooms, sausage and orange and grapefruit:

 

 

Maple french toast with blueberries and blood orange:

 

[Kerala]

Pretty standard fry-up this morning. Clonakilty white pudding.

[C. sapidus]

Leftover crab-stuffed Poblano chiles, reheated in the microwave and then broiled. 
 

Flavor was even better today

 

 

[blue_dolphin]

Hominy w/peperonata + arugula from Grist made with escarole instead of arugula.

The first time I made this, I used Vivian's Red Weapons instead of peperonata and I thought it was fabulous.  Today, I made a small batch of the peperonata from the book.  The peppers are lovely and sweet but the recipe is very simple and mild so the overall dish lacks the acid I think it needs.  I ended up drizzling a few spoons of Red Weapons over the top and that did the trick. 

I'm still a fan of using hominy in a salad like this but it needs to be dressed with some thing punchy.

Omelet with mushroom, green onion and blue cheese. Toasted ciabatta with apricot jam and the obligatory blueberries.

I used a minimal amount of blue cheese so it was a backdrop rather than a dominant taste which worked out very well.

Caramelized Lentils du Puy from Taste & Technique with a boiled egg

There's a fair bit of faffing about in the lentil recipe, as there is with most recipes in the book, but they do taste good.

Made Moe a sundried cherry tomato and cheddar omelette.

Found these semi dry cherry tomatoes at a specialty store in Victoria and will pick up another jar next time we go into town.

Amazingly good.

Repeat lentils.  This time with a fried duck egg.

I think it's hard to beat the combination of tomtoes (sun-dried or not) and cheddar, and your omelette looks delicious. What was especially special about these particular tomatoes?

Leftover kimchi soup with lots of rice.

I baked two Ina Garten recipes for other people's breakfast yesterday.  A loaf of soda bread that I made for my Dad (I left out the orange zest)  Irish soda bread

 

 

and a blueberry breakfast cake for my niece.  blueberry ricotta breakfast cake

 

 

I haven't tasted either but hopefully they are good.

My all-time favorite soda bread is this one from KAF.
