Over the last week or 10 days during the heat wave, I didn't do a lot of cooking in the evenings.
But I did make Moe a number of dinners for breakfast.

Baked a batch of mini baguettes Friday morning when it had cooled off enough to actually bake.

Creamy polenta and fresh blueberries enhanced with lemon, yogurt, and butter. The yogurt adds some creaminess and a subtle tang, the lemon kicks everything up with a floral, citrussy background note, and the butter is the ribbon that ties the package together. The berries were excellent, perhaps the best this summer.

Baguettes baked last night were still warm  so covered them with a tea towel overnight, and sliced this morning.

The best reason to bake bread is for the toast.

A few recent breakfasts. 
Peanut butter & banana on toast with hot honey drizzle. Used to eat this everyday when I was a kid, without the honey.

Kimchi dog - I was in a mood!

The ALF sandwich from A Super Upsetting Book about Sandwiches

Roasted asparagus topped with a drizzle of roasted tomato mayo (tomato, onion, garlic and jalapeño, roasted and blended into mayo) and a sprinkle of fried garlic on a split-top bun toasted in butter with a squeeze of lime juice.

Same. I don't think I'd ever want to leave though!

Another curious sandwich from A Super Upsetting Book about Sandwiches. This is the Suzanne Sugarbaker made with chicken-fried mushrooms, peach muchim and mayo.

IMG_5405.thumb.jpeg.fe91bd0cf680062de90bf42cb01be30e.jpeg

The flour dredge for the mushrooms is seasoned with powdered shiitake mushrooms, salt and lots of black pepper. The recipe uses maitake mushrooms but says any can be used so I went with king oysters. The peaches get their pickle-y punch from a muchim brine with garlic, ginger, shallot, scallion, red chile flakes, salt, sesame oil and white vinegar. They were ready in the time it took me to faff about with the mushrooms.

The Elvis Presley!  I wish my breakfasts looked as pretty as some of those above; sadly, they don't.

Toasted bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon.  Beefsteak tomato, avocado and house-pickled red onions.  Watermelon and that fancier Tuscan cantaloupe.

Peaches in anything savoury makes me itch. Was it good?

I like fruit in savory dishes and thought it was quite good though I wouldn’t recommend eating anything that causes itching. The shiitake powder in the mushroom dredge gives the crunchy coating an umami boost and the peaches are very much a spicy pickle element so the combo worked well. 
 

The country ham-wrapped and roasted peaches from Deep Run Roots is another savory recipe I like that includes peaches and you should probably avoid.

This is an old photo, but peach wedges get wrapped in thin slices of smoked country ham (I subbed prosciutto) and roasted. They're served on gingered goat cheese (goat cheese, buttermilk & grated, fresh ginger) with a drizzle of balsamic honey and a sprinkle of spiced pecans.

I should make this again while peaches are in season.

Wow - that looks fabulous - peaches are just coming into their own around here so will definitely pick up some proscitto.

I made it into a pizza, too.  Coincidentally posted exactly 5 years ago today over here. I think peaches & pork get along quite well!
