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

[reverendtmac]

The season's quickly ending here, so this might be the last time I get to have one of these perfect breakfasts during my round...

Clockwise, from upper left - Aiming fluid (Macallan 12), consciousness enhancer (quad shot americano), my handicap card, the requisite cat turds, muscle lubricant (1-3, depending on day) - and in the middle, my pellet of choice, inscribed as always with a cheerfully profane message of encouragement for my playing partners...

Love it!

This morning for breakfast I had brunch at the bar on our porch. It was a pasta fritatta/omelet/pie thingie using left over pasta, some of the leftover Brussels sprout leaves and pancetta, and freshly squeezed OJ.

Wow! You're having a good run of it in PEI! Had the kids at the driving range on Sunday myself ... all the golf I can handle really.

Before we left, J made us Buttermilk Pancakes with Hazelnuts, served with Cranberry-Maple syrup. The syrup is amazing!

Coffee ... tripple latte made with JJ Bean Nero Forte beans. Love my Saeco!

cafe con leche made by my adoring husband, hard boiled egg with salt. I love hard boiled eggs! Lately my husband has been doing them with the method I taught him (eggs in cold water to cover, bring to a boil, cover and turn off heat, 11 mins, rinse with cold water) and has been doing a kick ass job! No grey around the yolks and just cooked so they are a bit creamy in the middle. yummmmmm........ and just like in Paris I leave the hard boiled eggs on the counter in a cute little bowl and we grab them for a few days.

Great idea! The only time I have done that is at Easter. Why not at any other time? Thanks.

Has anyone tried poaching eggs in milk/cream? The texture of the egg is like a normal poached egg, but picks up a bit of the sweet taste from the milk.

I will make it this weekend and post the pics.

My current daily breakfast is coffee and egg drop soup. I'm in a phase. One of my favorite breakfasts that I used to take to the office was miso soup and an Iggy's roll with taleggio. I love soup for breakfast! Oooh, spinach soup with hard boiled egg is also fantastic.

My first post, I'm so excited.

Ellie, welcome to eGullet.

Soup for breakfast sounds very appealing to me. I'm one of those who prefers something savory for breakfast anyway. And what a great way to start the day, with egg drop soup. Would you be willing to share your recipe?

I can't remember where I heard it but I think it works great too. Especially for making deviled eggs, no grey yolks! And I agree about the boiling water!

This morning we had shots of espresso and toast with butter.

Two large eggs scrambled somewhat soft sprinkled with Chipolte tobasco sauce, a whole wheat muffing with a touch of Smuckers Whole Fruit (strawberry) and three gorgeous pieces of Niman Ranch Dry Cured Center Cut bacon.....yum!

Easily the best bacon I've ever had. $4.89 for 12oz. at Trader Joes.

Well, today it was fast food (my downfall of choice). But usually, I have Creamy Banana Couscous - couscous mixed with cinnamon, splenda, chopped up banana, and evap. skim milk, then microwaved. Yummy! Even better if you add in a spoonful of peanut butter.

Since I was at a seminar, I had to settle for some coffee and croissant at a local Sheraton

popovers: I have a no-fuss blender recipe, and the toddlers eat them by the double fistful.

[NulloModo]

Today for me was just a basic bowl of bacon and eggs, not exciting, but it got the day started off on the right foot.

one of our normal breakfasts.....

shot of espresso with 1 cube sugar, hard boiled egg with salt

[liamsaunt]

I like your espresso cup, little miss foodie.

I almost always eat the same thing for breakfast--buttered toast and a cup of tea. Creativity comes post-caffiene for me.

orange juice

brioche with sweet butter and strawberry jam

home-made chai tea

Farm fresh egg poached in milk (1/2 and 1/2 actually), with Saucisse de Canard A L'Armagnac (Sausage of duck liver, pork and armagnac - if you like foie gras, this is like having it for breakfast).

As a child growning up a many continents, I used to frequently have eggs poached in milk or cream, but I have never seen it done in the US. The cream infuses a delicate sweet taste to the egg and is simply delicious when dabbed with a slice of bread.

The suasages are from one of my favorite stores, D'Artagnan

YUMMMMMMMMM! Man that looks soooo good!

Since we only get to splurge with our breakfast on the weekends today was similar to other days..........

shot of espresso, 1 sugar cube, toast with chocolate pear jam (picked up in Barcelona recently, very good!)

[andiesenji]

This morning I had brioche, a coddled egg and a cup of Senseo dark roast coffee with milk and a little Splenda.

I baked the brioche because I am making my fancy version of bread pudding tonight for a brunch tomorrow.

I was awakened early by neighbors going up the driveway to the big garden in back to pick the remainder of the veggies. Today and tomorrow are open gate days as I have all that I need already harvested.

Since all of them help me from time to time, it is the least I can do.

It is quite chilly this morning so I have big urns of coffee, tea and hot cider to go along with a bunch of scones I baked off last night. They usually congregate out on the deck after picking but today will probably come into the family room. Overnight temps down to 37.

Yogurt shake - fat free Stonyfield Farms plain yogurt, cranberry and blueberry juice, approx. 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. I'm trying to boost my immune system and lower my cholesterol.

Percyn: you are very bad for my credit card. I've been trying very hard to limit my D'Artagnan purchases, but you are making it difficult

Classic Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise and Thyme-Roasted Potatoes

Last weekend we ate at a miserable cafe and had the worst benedict of all time. The eggs weren't so much poached as hard-boiled. The sauce was broken, and the potatoes were bland and far too al dente. I erased those memories this morning with gooey eggs, clarified butter-toasted muffins, excellent Canadian Bacon from a Neiman Ranch pork loin, and a classic hollandaise straight from the days of culinary school. The potatoes were fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and tossed with sea salt, thyme, and chives. Lovely. We had French-press coffee with half and half and orange/grapefruit/pomegranate juice. It was a proper brunch to be sure. Best meal of the day!
