Breakfast 2025

[YvetteMT]

Hashbrowns and omelet with ham, onion, swiss and black olives on my half.

Left over mashed potato and Brussel sprouts from dinner last night became ‘ ‘bubble and squeak’ with a poached egg on top for breakfast.

Many of us like a cup of tea with breakfast. Also eggs. Why not combine them.

 

This is not SO unusual round these parts. Scrambled eggs with tea leaves. The young leaf shoots are preferred.

French toast casserole (with nutmeg instead of cinnamon as houseguest is allergic), strawberries, toasted pecan maple syrup and bacon. 

I typically don't like sweet breakfast but this was good.

I was home last night nursing a cold and trying to take it easy (I've got several speaking engagements this weekend, so doing all I can to get better / not get worse).

 

Was reading a little story about a bakery and thought 'I need to bake some bread.' Realized we were out of flour so bopped over to the shop for flower, and saw a little (250ml) bottle of cream and thought, 'Why don't I make some butter while I'm at it?' - which I've never done before.

 

So, I made some basic salted butter, which was so easy and felt a little bit magical when the whipped cream 'suddenly' became butter. Then the super-easy no-knead bread that we usually make, but I substituted the buttermilk for the water called for.

 

 

Made for a delicious breakfast. The texture of the bread was definitely different, reminds me a bit of a biscuit. I'm curious what is happening chemically when using buttermilk instead of plain water in a break recipe (or any baking, for that matter).

 

Anyhoo, toasted with plenty of butter, what a great brekkie. And I probably need to go have another slice now...
