Poached egg with hashbrowns and boudin along with a black sesame seed bagel that I just took out of the oven!

Arbroath Smokie this morning, mmm i can still smell it:

[Domestic Goddess]

Ever since I watched the movie Tampopo, I have several containers of pork broth for ramen noodles in my freezer. This morning, I had a bowl of Ramen noodles for brekkies.

[Shelby]

I was starving this morning! Along with my egg, I had salmon and bagels with tomatoes and melted cheese

My first post in this thread!

+ Baked eggs from upthread (butter, half-and-half, garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, caramelized onions)

+ Toast from batards I made yesterday

+ Fuji apple

I am curious about rosemary with eggs, as I have always been told that rosemary is far too resinous to be pairs with eggs. Do you enjoy the flavor combination? I have never tried it.

I used a small amount and only because I had a nice fresh stalk. I did like it, especially with the other herbs, but it would be easy to over do. I have to admit, when I pair up herbs I often think of Simon & Garfunkle's "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" to decide

I see. I enjoy mixed herb dishes, but for some reason it's been drilled into my head that eggs can only "handle" certain herbs. (primarily dill, parsley, chives.)

I suppose if the rosemary was muted by the inclusion of ther herbs and was used sparingly it would be ok. I'll try it out sometime this week.

Cathryn, you know what they say....rules are meant to be broken!! So, we expect you to try eggs w/rosemary and post your experience here

Blurby, welcome to the breakfast thread.

Pawncracker, I will have to see if we can get Arbroath Smokies over here...that looks delicious.

MiFi - those baked eggs look so incredibly good. I am going to try that soon!!

Shelby - your bagels are beautiful.

Breakfast this morning was manchego omlets, Neuske's pepper bacon, home fries, homemade brioche toast and ET bagels (not homemade!):

[petite tête de chou]

Today we had brunch. I just love that word. It combines two of my favorite meals *and* it usually involves booze of some sort.

Per my husbands request we had a Denver omelet (he did the filling prep *and* sharpened my best knife), fried sweet potatoes, and homemade baking-powder biscuits with country-style sausage gravy. For beverages he had orange juice and, well, he wanted a bottle of Rogue's Irish beer so that's what he had. -shudder- I would've preferred a bit of bubbly with my juice but that's mostly because I love the word MIMOSA.

The whole idea for brunch came from my shweetheart who remarked earlier in the day that he wanted to impress me in the kitchen with his biscuit-makin' prowess. He's never made a biscuit in his life that didn't involve a 'pop' of a can. Well, I know when I've got a good thing and jumped (but not *obviously* so, you understand) to get everything together. Essentially I gave him the measurements, a few less-wordy tips and let him have fun creating his own food.

Nice looking biscuits!!

Yesterday I made an Omelette with smoked Swiss cheese w/fresh squeezed orange juice in the background.

[Kim Shook]

Percyn - thanks for the bacon salt info. We will put that stuff on our next amazon order!

This morning I woke up thinking about MiFi's baked eggs. My version:

eggs, butter, cream, 3 year old cheddar, a little leftover Jambon Serrano. So, so good! Thanks for the inspiration, MiFi!

Wow, that is a beautiful omelette! I had a French Cruller from the Dunkin Donuts across the street... (in my defense, no place else was open when I dropped my wife off at the airport at 5am )

[C. sapidus]

Beautiful, flaky biscuits - probably even better with mimosas.

Oh, my - I feel like I should avert my eyes or something.

Last night’s leftovers for breakfast: braised pork riblets with Vietnamese caramel sauce; swordfish satay with coconut milk-based peanut sauce; and buttered home-made bread. Unfortunately, none of the pictures quite captured what a darned tasty meal this was, either fresh last night or microwaved this morning.

[Kim Shook]

This morning was link sausage and french toast made with some pannetone that I have had in the freezer since Christmas!

[Shelby]

Salmon cake topped with runny egg along with corned beef hash and a bagel!

That salmon is haunting me - first the dinner thread and now breakfast. The egg yolk running down it really puts it over the top!!

[CKatCook]

pancakes and sausage

but what everyone else had looks better!

Does anyone have a recipe for those baked eggs?

[suzilightning]

sausage... i want sausage!!

seems today i flipped everything.

breakfast was leftover lasagna and lunch was leftover eggs, corned beef hash and hash browned potatoes. dinner was a slice of bread with ham and cheese since john wasn't off the phone and i was hungry.

For whatever reason this made me think of that beer commercial that is on TV right now... with the dog saying "Sausages! Sausages! Please, Sausages!" ... Announcer: "Ability to speak to animals no longer included."

Totally off topic, I know. Made me laugh, though. Edited March 3, 2008 by Chris Hennes (log)

[prasantrin]

I had a cheese biscuit and sausage patty for breakfast. Sounds suspiciously like my dinner last night, but without the gravy. It'll probably be my dinner tonight, too!

Rather than using rosemary itself, try frying an omelet or eggs in a mixture of butter and an herbed rosemary olive oil. It's lovely.

I also think thyme is wonderful with eggs, particularly in the egg and breadcrumb recipe from The Zuni Cafe cookbook. That is hands-down my favorite egg-for-breakfast recipe.
