Breakfast 2023

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

I had some excess ground pork after making up a batch of wonton filling so used it to make a few breakfast sausage patties (maple and herb).

Today's morning sandwich: egg, sausage, green onion, mushroom and aged cheddar. With an orange and blackberries.

For dinner the other night I made a riff on Ali Slagle’s recipe for Sweet Potatoes with Spinach and Feta (gift link). I had turnip and radish greens from my first farmers market trip of the year, and also some fresh (i.e. Mexican) chicken chorizo from a vendor there. So I swapped the greens for spinach, Cotija for Feta and served it topped with cooked chorizo as well as green onions and a dab of sour cream. The recipe is pretty brilliant as the jalapeño brine adds heat and acidity but doesn’t overwhelm and plays off the sweetness of the potatoes.
 

So that brings me to breakfast today. I sautéed a bit of the leftovers and topped with an over easy egg. Tasty and more photogenic than dinner would have been if I’d take a picture, I suspect.

Green bean and sausage breakfast tacos, with onion, garlic, bird chiles, cumin, Mexican oregano, and feta cheese. Turned out particularly tasty.

 

I simmered the green beans in bone broth and fish sauce, removed the green beans when nearly done, and then concentrated the broth with the onions and sausage.

Moe requested hard boiled eggs on toasted baguette this morning.

So...............

Desk breakfast...whole wheat Portuguese roll, spreadable goat cheese, cherry tomatoes

 

[C. sapidus]

 

Green beans and chicken sausage, flavored with onion, garlic, ginger, fermented black beans, and three (!) bird chiles, cooked down in broth. Finished with Mexican oregano and a sprinkle feta cheese to tame the fire a bit.

Wondering if "Ancient Pug" would appreciate the chiles and green beans more in this preparation than au natural.

That's a heckuva brekkie. Now I'm craving it for dinner!

Well, I didn't manage to make those Hot Brown crostini I got into my head over the weekend.  Made a Croque Madame as a consolation prize:

when I was a kid (Dad was the designated pancake maker), we called them "teenies" and they were cherished!

That is almost enough syrup for me. My wife and kids (monsters some times, I tell ya) will often eat pancakes without any syrup at all. Just powdered sugar.

 

I want my pancakes juicy and syrup squishing out when I stab it like water out of a shoe after you stepped in a puddle!

 Yes, Moe loves his maple syrup.  Likes them swimming in it.

Saw a recipe for Toasted Sesame and Scallion Waffles in the New York Times.

Kind of a nuisance to beat the egg whites separately and fold them in but they came out very light, so I won't complain too much.  I'd make these again.

Sometimes breakfast is all about the toast.

If I had that bread, every meal would include toast!

 

Tuna salad in a toasted brioche bun with veg & pickles:

Takes me back to when I was a kid.  Our school cafeteria called tuna salad in a hot dog bun a "tuna boat" and they were on the menu at least once a month.

Ham, egg & cheese on one of those Toasted Sesame and Scallion Waffles that I made the other day. 

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

Toasted naan, sausages, eggs scrambled with chives and chilis and apples with blueberries.

 

[Ann_T]

A friend shared this recipe on her Facebook Group.

 Dennis Prescott's Garlic Chili Oil Noodles with Pork recipe. 

I had planned to make it last night for dinner, but got out of work late and didn't get home until almost 6:30.

 

So I made it this morning for Moe's breakfast and I'm going to take it to work for lunch.

[blue_dolphin]

An odd breakfast, even by my standards.  Lukas Volger's Peanut Butter and Greens Sandwich made with the Toasted Chili-Nut Butter Spread that I made from his book, Snacks for Dinner, using toasted ancho chilies and cashew butter. 

 

The ancho-cashew spread is quite good, though I think the combo with a cooked green veg might be better with with broccoli and noodles rather than sautéed greens and bread but sometimes ya just gotta try it to see!

Saturday breakfast:

Potato, dandelion green, chive and brie omelet. WW English muffin with apricot jam (only Bonne Maman will do).

 

 

A few minutes picking. The greens are very tender when this young.

 

 

A breakfast from sometime last week.

Breakfast sandwich on naan with an egg scrambled with green onions and about a quarter scotch bonnet, peameal bacon and mushrooms with blueberries and apples.

Love the free u-pick early morning dandelioms! Also enjoy those apricot preserves.

Eric Kim's Gochujang Buttered Noodles are becoming habit-forming.

I always love to see how you include vegetables in your dishes. Provides inspiration to me. I can't do fruit in the morning - leads to all day nibbling and sugar craving - but veggies work.
