Prima Taste brand Singapore curry noodles with added veg & egg

I was cutting up some ham pieces for a ham and cheese omelette when I spied a half of an heirloom tomato from last nights dinner. I changed direction and made a caprese omelette with mozzarella and basil. Since the ham and cheese were already cat, I had them too. 
 

next time I’ll try salting the tomatoes early to reduce the water content.

Save the water that comes out of the salted tomatoes, it's a nice little kick to a stock.

Fried rice made with leftover basil chicken, plus zucchini, onion, lemongrass, tomato, Thai basil, fried shallots, and an egg.

Rather conventional breakfast items today. French toast sticks, sausage, yogurt and peaches (O’Henry, my fave) with a drizzle of vanilla bean-infused maple syrup. 

The only twist was using a split-top brioche hot dog bun to make the French toast sticks, a trick I spotted online and a good way to address odd dog/bun ratios. I  tend to use sturdy, stale, sometimes VERY stale, bread that needs a good soak. This was rather the opposite and only needs a quick dunk rather than a soak but I’d do it again.

Wilted spinach, cilantro, and Thai basil pureed with half a jalapeno and a roasted chile Poblano and a splash of half-and-half. Sauteed sliced shallot, the other half of the jalapeno, and garlic, and then added the sauce, roasted chile Poblano strips, fried potato cubes, thyme, and Mexican oregano. Inspired by palak paneer, but with Mexican flavors. 😆

 

Topped with an over-not-so-easy egg and feta cheese
