Headed out for an atv ride and then a pig roast for dinner.  This should hold us for awhile today-

Chicken sausages, potatoes, eggs scrambled with ham and onion.

So many of your breakfast images remind of the days I was hanging out in Chinook, and working on a small ranch in exchange for room and board.  Early in the morning my friend Rick and I would join Gay Stern, the ranch owner, his family, and a few local cowboys for breakfast. It was always a hearty breakfast with venison steak and homemade  biscuits and pie putting in frequent appearances.  Emma, Gay's wife, did the cooking.

 

One morning, after about a week of breakfasts, Gay surprised us by asking Rick and me what we wanted for breakast. Usually, breakfast was just served and we'd eat what was provided. I enthusiastically replied, "Venison steak and eggs, home fries, and biscuits."  Gay laconically responded, "That sounds great. Go make it." I was surprised, but Gay was correct. We weren't putting in our share of help for breakfast. From that point on, I'd cook for the gang at least once if not twice a week. And I soon learned to cook venison properly. Thank you, Emma.

@Shel_B my breakfasts are always as little fuss as possible! I can't be bothered with it 90%of the time, mornings are not for complicated things in my world. While i love the pretty plates of pastries, Im lucky to get coffee made. I've threatened more than once to quit my real job and become a camp cook in the back country, and then i realize I'd have to get up and get to cooking immediately and change my mind. 

Today- omelet with cheese and black olives (ham and cheese for partner), bacon and hashbrowns. And strawberries picked while covering beds last night to protect from the frost.

For breakfast, Moe had pasta with our favourite Italian Sausage and rosemary sauce.
I also made him some garlic bread to have with his pasta.

Last Saturday I went to children’s football with my older grandsons and after we had breakfast/brunch at a cafe. 
 

My Okonomiyaki with cabbage, fried egg and smoked salmon with two sauces.

A breakfast bowl with poached egg

The children had grilled cheese on toast while also sharing our meals. The 3 year old said ‘“I like Okonomiyaki” pronouncing it perfectly. Proud grandparent story but it is breakfast cooking related.

@YvetteMTThere's no way I could spend the time or the effort to make some of the breakfasts I see here, as much as I enjoy seeing them and would, on occassion, enjoy eating them.  If I want a "big plate" breakfast, I'll go out to eat, although I've not done that in a very long time.

 

The bacon on your plate looked gorgeous.  I suspect it's something you made.  The folks I stayed with in Chinook had bacon that looked quite similar. 'Twas delicious, even after surviving my cooking.

Your yellow plate reminded me of some neat plates that I have squirriled away and that I might want to use when having dinner with a guest next week.

Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Pizza from Pizza Nights by Alexandra Stafford.  

This recipe is written for a half-sheet pan and is listed in the book as Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Pizza for a Crowd.  It’s a pan pizza crust, topped with Everything But The Bagel seasoning and baked, with the toppings (chive cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, red onion and dill) added post-bake.

No crowd here, but I had a ball of pan pizza dough that needed to be used so this was a good option. I only topped this piece and will use the rest of the focaccia-like pan for sandwiches.

My first meal of the day was later than usual, could be called lunch, but it follows along from yesterday’s breakfast so I’m putting it here. 
It’s another from Pizza Night:Asparagus and Prosciutto Slab Pizza, and like yesterday’s, it’s baked nekkid and topped post-bake.  Is this even a pizza?  I dunno but I figure breakfast people are less likely to at me for it 🙃

Same pan pizza crust, brushed with olive oil and baked. Topped with “thinly sliced” Camembert (Really?  Can a liquid be thinly sliced 😮?), shaved asparagus dressed with olive oil and salt and prosciutto, also thinly sliced, of course.
I dunno if it was pizza or breakfast but it was very tasty!

Yesterday’s brunch was the asparagus pizza with crème fraîche and whipped ricotta from Pizza Night. The crust gets a schmear of créme fraîche and sprinkle of Parmesan before the shaved asparagus is piled on. Here it is, fresh out of the oven:

The whipped ricotta is dolloped on after baking

Today's breakfast was a reheated slice, topped with a poached egg:

IMG_5204.thumb.jpeg.4f3428a15b2c4614a42efc71308bef46.jpeg

 

This obviously required a knife and fork but that was just as well because the strands of shaved asparagus, while very tender, tended to pull everything off the crust with the first bite.

If you ever become a camp cook.   Please let us know where.

 

Strawberries are gorgeous.   But I am struck by the bacon.    That is the leanest looking bacon I can remember seeing.   Is it local or homemade?

Over in the appetizer topic, I mentioned making the Ricotta dip with hot sauce butter pine nuts from Mezcla by Ixta Belfrage. The header notes suggest using it as a base for grilled asparagus so that was today’s breakfast, topped with a poached egg.

The asparagus were quite huge so I was pleasantly surprised that they cooked up so nicely on my little Philips grill.  I used one of Andy Baraghani’s flatbreads to wipe the plate clean.

The bacon is neither.  Costco, Kirkland brand thick cut.  Comes in a 2 pack that I believe is 1.5lbs per. Cream-ish label.
