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

[percyn]

Couple breakfasts from the recent past

Slow cooked egg w/Benton's Country Ham and Biscuits

Fried egg on beef hash

[Kim Shook]

Bruce – we love that stilton and I’ve never thought to have it for breakfast, but how lovely it would be crumbled on a crusty baguette!

percyn – gorgeous eggs and I really want some of that hash!

A random breakfast that I made last week when Mr. Kim and I were both off work:

toast, grapefruit and almost soft boiled eggs – I have them nearly right after working on them forever!

[percyn]

Thanks Kim! Those soft boiled eggs look good and are one of my favorite. Simple and tasty.

Breakfasts from a couple days this week:

Scrambled Eggs w/Smoked Gouda

Egg w/spiced Spinach - A take on an Indian dish made from fenugreek leaves, but this was a way to use up some left over Indian Spinach w/Lamb.

[percyn]

Left over Lobster Thermidor with Lobster Scrambled Eggs

[Kim Shook]

percyn - lobster for breakfast! What a way to start the year! THAT is luxury!

Breakfast this morning:

fried eggs, leftover ham from yesterday’s dinner and little puff pastry/bacon/cream cheese things that I did for NYE

[lioness]

Hi Kim,

Can you provide us with the bread machine brioche recipe. Been looking around for a good one for a while.

[lioness]

Made or bought?

Kim, would those be the "Quick and Cheesy Cocktail Swirls" from your cookbook? If not, what? TIA!

Kim, that Ham, Egg and Bacon Puff Pastry looks mighty fine to me

lioness – Here's the bread machine brioche recipe. Hope you like it! Was the “made or bought” question for me? If so, made or bought what?

judiu – yep, that’s them. Except I made them with puff pasty this time – the flavor is better and puff pastry is a lot easier to handle than those whomp biscuit Crescent things!

percyn – thank you, sir! Your breakfasts always look wonderful, so that is a truly appreciated compliment!

Ah, looks as if someone else has been reading the Momofuku cookbook? I'm planning on slow poaching my first eggs tonight!

[percyn]

Jayejo, I have been "slow cooking" eggs for at least 3 yrs now, in fact, that is why I bought my immersion circulator

[Blether]

Jumbo gyoza

[percyn]

Ham and Smoked Gouda Omelet

[percyn]

More soft scrambled egg and cheese.

Scrambled Eggs, Mobay Sheep & Goat cheese w/vine ash

Scrambled Eggs /Smoked Gouda

[C. sapidus]

Chorizo omelet

[Blether]

My favourite breakfast:

Bacon and tomato toast sandwich (shown open for clarity). Good green bacon, fresh tomato, fresh bread (breadmaker white in this case) toasted and buttered while hot. Accompanied by breakfast tea. Perfect.

In this case, followed by some more buttered toast with home-made tawny natsumikan marmalade served on the same plate (and of course more tea):

- all enjoyed beneath Japan's beautiful winter morning sunshine.

percyn – lovely omelet!

Bruce – that chorizo omelet is just gorgeous – what a perfect color you got on it!

Blether – that is my favorite breakfast, too. Great looking bacon!

Breakfast yesterday:

Rib eye strips w/ mushrooms, eggs & ET bagels

[percyn]

Nice chorizo omelet Bruce.

Breakfasts from the last few days:

Pancakes, Fried Egg, Ham and Red-eye Gravy

Smoked Duck Breast w/Fried Egg

Scrambled Egg w/Sichuan Bacon in Chili Sauce

[AdrianB]

Home made steamed buns (boa zi) filled with spiced pork and beansprouts with a side of long beans with sesame sauce. It sure beats cereal!

[percyn]

More Smoked Duck Breast w/Fried Egg

[Katie Meadow]

In this case, followed by some more buttered toast with home-made tawny natsumikan marmalade served on the same plate (and of course more tea):

What is a natsumikan? Your marmalade looks yummy.

[Kim Shook]

percyn - love the look of that pancake breakfast!

Last weekend – Mr. Kim’s breakfast:

Gruyere and chive omelet, Benton’s bacon and navel orange slices

Mine:

A little of Mr. Kim’s omelet on an English muffin with Benton’s bacon
