Yesterday, I made a batch of the Fluffy (and crisp) Flatbreads from The Cook You Want to Be by Andy Baraghani so I reheated one, topped it with a thick layer of the black bean purée from yesterday's sopes and some grated pepper jack cheese and put that back into the oven to get all melty. I planned to scramble an egg and make a folded breakfast sandwich but I couldn't resist frying the duck egg instead so I needed a knife and fork but didn't mind.

With avocado and pico de gallo.

The breads are really good, take almost zero effort, require no oven and reheat nicely from the freezer. The yogurt gives them the kind of tang that usually takes a much longer to develop. I'm scooping up some hummus with one right now!

Compared with the online recipe, in the book he gives the option of using melted butter, ghee or olive oil, gives a 60-90 min rise time, has you place the rolled out dough on an oiled sheet pan and flip so both sides get coated and doesn’t put additional oil in the skillet.

Thanks for the recipe details. I like the idea of having them ready to go in the freezer. I usually brush my flatbreads with butter or ghee.

I reheated a couple of the sopes I made the other day in the CSO and they came out nice and crispy. Filled with black bean purée, pepper jack cheese, scrambled egg and TJ's Green Dragon hot sauce.

Pico de gallo and avocado on the side

Egg, lobster and arugula on toasted croissants with mixed fruit and a shot of V8. It pays to pick all those little crannies clean.

Senior Sea Kayaker · May 14

Gravlax with dill and horseradish mustard, green onion 'pancake', cucumber with chives and a dash of lime habanero sauce.

With a pear in yogurt and a V8.

Today's breakfast.

Toasted Peameal Bacon and Tomato sandwich on a homemade kaiser.

One of the few things I miss about living in Ontario is Peameal bacon. It is common and found

in most grocery stores and butchers.

Unfortunately isn't found often here on the west coast.

But I finally found a source. I can't believe that I have never been to this butcher shop before.

One of the best butcher shops I've seen.

Bought oxtails, rack of lamb and peameal bacon yesterday.

Plan to visit it at least once a month when we make a Victoria Costco run.

Chorizo, green beans, and an egg, with onion, garlic, chile serrano, and Mexican oregano

Lovely. But a slice or two of black pudding would elevate it into perfection. 😆

Senior Sea Kayaker · May 17

Breakfast wrap of eggs scrambled with finger and shishito peppers, green onion and cilantro.

I've been playing around with various ways of making these wraps so this one starts with a WW tortilla in a dry pan, flip and apply pepper jack and sauteed mushrooms, and remove when cheese melted.

A layer of shredded romaine, eggs added and rolled.

Pear on the side.

I tried a recipe for Flatbreads with Beet Yogurt and Jammy Eggs from Ali Slagle's I Dream of Dinner. Interesting and I got a veg in my breakfast but not something I need to repeat.

Raw beet, jalapeño and lime zest are grated into yogurt and mixed with lime juice, ground coriander, salt & pepper, topped with a boiled egg and fresh mint and scooped up with a flatbread. I added a sprinkle of dukkah.
