Breakfast! The most important meal of the day (2004-2011)

MiFi: That looks delicious!

We had bricklayer’s eggs (huevos al albanil). Yes, again – they are that good. Roasted Poblano chile rajas were a great addition.

MifI Lovely omelette.

Bruce That looks so good.

We started our Christmas morning off with warm homemade donuts. Some sugar dipped and some glazed.

[techno foodie]

Oh, Ann_T, those doughnuts look wonderful! I'm salivating just looking at them

For the past few years, my husband and I have made a Christmas morning tradition out of pannetone french toast topped with homemade cinnamon syrup and mimosas. I don't have pics right now, but just know that it looks good but tastes even better!

[Ann_T]

techno foodie We drank mimosas yesterday morning too. Today is boxing day, another holiday in Canada. My son's girlfriend arrived in time for breakfast this morning so we decided to be decadent and have mimosas again today. I used some of my sourdough starter in Sourdough buttermilk pancakes. The batter was thicker than my family likes so I thinned it out with a little more milk this morning. But the flavour was wonderful and the pancakes were very tender.

[C. sapidus]

Sourdough buttermilk pancakes sound so delicious. And mimosas, too, of course.

[Ann_T]

Thanks Bruce.

We had homemade cinnamon buns for breakfast twice this week. Topped with a cream cheese frosting.

[SushiCat]

no photos alas, but scrambled eggs with mushrooms and shallots + neimann ranch bacon and a great baguette from Marche in Eugene, homemade rasperry jam and some of my favorite, nectarine compote - yum.

[Ann_T]

Sushicat your breakfast sounds deliciious.

We had Eggs Benedict today. I used my homemade bread instead of English muffins with Canadian Back Bacon. and fried mushrooms on the side.

Moe's plate

This was my plate. I like my poached eggs "hard".

Excuse my language if offensive, but holy shit, Ann your Eggs Benedict... That looks so good. One of my new year's resolutions is to make time to get back to the dinner and breakfast topics more regularly. Goodness, what I have missed!

[percyn]

Ann, what a coincidence, I happened to make Crab Florentine Eggs Benedict as part of a New Year's brunch.

Other items included Fresh fruit, Berries, Bourbon Maple French toast, Pancakes, Spinach & Mushroom quiche, mueslix, salad of baby spinach, pomegranite, apple, cranberry, walnuts, tomatoes and goat cheese.

Bruce, if memory serves me, I think you had shared the recipe for these great looking bricklayer's eggs. Unfortunately, I cannot locate it, so I googled it, but all recipes for huevos al albanil call for a green salsa and yours look redish. Can you please share your recipe?

Thanks

No problem - you should have a PM in your box. Thanks for sharing your continuing series of mouth-watering breakfasts, especially the crab Florentine eggs Benedict.

Doddie, that longanisa looks sooo good. My wife is from the Dominican Republic and longanisa for breakfast is very very common. I'm drooling over here since its been a while since I've had some.

[Domestic Goddess]

I can PM you the recipe if you wan Mike, I make mine skinless since I cannot get pork casings here. My longganisa are vinegary and garlicky.

[NYC Mike]

I'd love it thanks! We haven't found a place down here that sells them yet! Although I hear Roswell has a budding Dominican community!

[Domestic Goddess]

Recipe in your inbox Mike. Hope you like it!

I have to say the only thing I thought I would have for breakfast today was a leftover bagel at the office. When what to my wondering eyes did appear but 12 Almond cookies, 8 Dan Tarts, 6 Char Sui Bao, and a Cream Napolean....I will have some of each

thanks kim....

I made my usual breakfast, which I was told as a child to call "Swedish Breakfast." I now think that this was a mix up and that the reference must have been to Swiss Breakfast - something like the recipe known as Bircher Muesli. But my breakfast isn't too Bircher-like, as there is no over-night soaking involved.

Recipe: - Put rolled oats in bowl. Grate over half an apple. Add three chopped brazil buts. Squeeze on a bit of lemon juice, splash in a tiny bit of milk. Stir. Add blueberries if it is a blueberry-adding day.

This is a very good recipe for people who do not like milk on their cereal, and I know I'm not the only one. Because of the grated apple, you only need a tiny bit of milk, and the lemon juice means you don't really taste it.

Me, too! Please!!!

I love longganisa, but rarely have it because I love tocino more (which means whenever I go for Filipino breakfast, I order tocino, not longganisa).

But I could easily make my own longganisa sans skin in Japan!

[Domestic Goddess]

Prasantin - check your inbox for the longganisa recipe. Hope you like it!

Culture-clash vegetable stir-fry for a late breakfast: baby bok choy, Poblano chilies, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger; seasoned with Thai chile bean paste, fermented bean paste, Shaoxing rice wine, and Chinkiang vinegar.

I debated where to post this – coffee or breakfast – but this was this morning's breakfast. Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk (ca phe sua nong):

Mixing the coffee and SCM:

Mmm - ready to drink (with a few extra coffee chunks, 'cuz of the blade grinder):
