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

[percyn]

Alinka, you are not the only one having breakfast, but since I was in Bermuda last week, allow me to play catch-up:

Fried egg with chicken maple sausage

Maitake and scrambled egg(beaters)

Eggbeater Omlette (stuffed with something, but I don't recall what)

Holy man, that looks so good. Drool.

I've been lurking for quite some time now and am impressed (and a bit intimidated) by all the wonderful cooking here. BUT I finally decided to jump in!

Yesterday morning, I made blueberry scones (AnnT's recipe):

I felt the need for a little protein this morning (!) and made a more traditional American breakfast of eggs, home fries, and bacon:

Thanks for all the inspiration I've already gleaned from all of you! Looking forward to more of the same -

[Chufi]

Welcome LoriJean!

Those scones look lovely, especially with the crunchy sugar on top. Looking forward to seeing more of your food!

[ChefCrash]

Thyme, sumac, sesame and oil pies? Mana'eesh.

Seven minutes in a 550 F oven.

My wife stole one before I took the photo.

[Alinka]

Here comes Percy! Eggs are back!!!

Welcome, LoriJean. Nice looking scones, and the flower decoration is nice.

ChefCrash, that flatbread would be very nice right now, in the middle of the afternoon, with a cup of hot sweet tea...

[Parmhero]

For anyone who's been wondering, "Hey, what has Parmhero been making for breakfast?" Well....

An omelet! Gruyerre, cheddar, parmesan, and sauteed onions, with home fries and whole wheat English muffin. Coffee not shown.

Wow... those home fries look killer! Are they coated with something?

No, potatoes are not coated with anything. Just fried in peanut oil and buttter. Sometimes I sprinkle paprika, a little cayenne, salt and pepper. I peel and boil the potatoes first--until softened but not overcooked. Then I fry them over medium heat. You just have to modulate the heat, letting them brown without burning, turning them here and there, and watching them until they brown nicely.

Those look super good, Lori. Is the recipe in RecipeGullet? I didn't see it when I did a quick search, but I simply must have it!

[snowangel]

Now that school's out, my house is rather popular with the little boys in the 'hood because they know that I'll cook breakfast at least a couple of times a week! And, now that the local strawberries are ripe, I just had to pull out my stove-top waffle maker.

Megan I posted the recipe for you on Recipe Gullet.

Susan that is one beautiful waffle.

I had some friends over for the US / Ghana World Cup Game.

I made Spanglish Sandwiches. Thomas Keller was the food consultant on the film and came up with this sandwich for Adam Sandler to make as midnight snack. Its basically a BLT with melted cheese and a fried, runny egg!

[percyn]

Great looking BLT Henry...I usually eat my burgers with a runny fried egg, but never had one on a BLT...now I wonder why not.

[Susan in FL]

Oh yum, Henry. That looks good! We add an egg to BLTs, and call them BELTs, but have never had cheese on them.

...Extra napkins required, I bet, and well worth it!

I caught up on the dinner thread, and will do some catching up here, as well. Mornings on the porch have been delightful.

This crepe, made for the cook-off, was filled with bananas and pieces of a dark chocolate & orange peel candy bar, and sprinkled with sugar.

The potatoes were fried in chicken fat left from dinner the night before.

This buttered toast was sprinkled with Johnnybird's Toast Dope, which we've talked about a lot on this topic.

I guess this would be called a breakfast wrap, or maybe a breakfast burrito? The four tortilla was filled with eggs, cheese, tomato, onion, chiles, and cilantro.

[hhlodesign]

Thanks guys! Its a damn good sandwich!

I should note that the Spanglish DVD has a great little extra with TK showing us how to make the sandwich.

[C. sapidus]

Not-yet-rolled flour tortilla, toasted over an open flame, then filled with eggs, chorizo (sauteed with jalapenos and shallots), feta cheese, and sriracha. Yup, two of those ought to hold me until dinner.

[Megan Blocker]

I made AnnT's delectable scones today. They came out flaky, buttery and just sweet enough.

I used fresh blueberries and will be taking the leftovers to work.

[Shaya]

Those look beautiful Megan. I wish you had worked in my office....

Oooooh, Henry. I am so having one of those for dinner tommorow. Today Mr. Kim got the first of the Hanover tomatoes and tonight we went a bought white bread & Nueskes Applewood smoked bacon. There is Miracle Whip in the fridge and lettuce in the crisper. That has been the plan since he found the tomatoes this am. I will show him your photo and we'll be adding the egg for sure!

[spaghetttti]

I woke up with a hankering for a bowl of something hot and comforting.

It sure hit the spot ! Now, I want waffles, burritos, scones, crepes, sandwiches...yummy breakfasts & photos everyone!!

[PurpleDingo99]

The next day I went to the bakery in the palace hotel and got a walnut and cream cheese bread.

←

Just because I can't photograph food to save my soul, I had one of these the other day, although it was a different Grain D'or.

[glennbech]

Yeasted rolls with whole Spelt grains boiled and soaked in yoghurt overnight.

I used the water from the boiling in the dough instead of water. Slashed with a razor and treated with a Eggyolk finish. The image was taken with my phone, and the quality isn't all that. They were incredibly shiny and nice smelling.

Yum!

[LoriJean]

All these wonderful breakfasts out on the deck/patio...I'm so envious! It's been too hot on the weekends for breakfast anywhere but under the a/c...
