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

[percyn]

Thanks Bruce...I am honored Did you make the mole yourself?

Just returned from a week in FL, so not much cooking going on here.

Tomorrow I have a few friends coming over for Bunch, so lets see if I can capture some pic while playing short order cook.

ETA - Bruce, I see your mole method on the Making Mexican at Home forum.

When button mushrooms are cheap at the grocery store I like to buy a few pounds and turn them into Duxelles, so I've got them in the fridge for breakfast.

This morning the Duxelles made into scrambled eggs with Pecarino Romano and shredded scallion.

Welcome back, PercyN. I see that you are a whiz with the search function. Thanks for posting the link.

This morning we conquered Mount Guacamole. I needed something green after gorging on crab dip, bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, and sweets at a party yesterday.

A classic French prep of minced mushrooms squeezed of their liquid before sauteeing in butter and oil with shallot till quite dry. Then they will keep for a while to use as flavoring for stuffings, sauces, etc. I have heard people report that they freeze them for future use as well.

Thank you Heidi. I've never heard of this! That would come in handy way out here in the country when I can't get to the store.

I was paraphrasing from Julia Child Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume One- even "out in the sticks" that is one you will find at a used book store or tag sale- grab it. Great basic techniques.

Invited a few friends for Brunch yesterday and made...

(From Left to Right): Bacon & Smoked Sausage, Blueberry muffins, Fruit salad, Pita chips and Babaganosh (hidden behind), Cinnamon rolls, Muesli in yogurt, Sarrano ham wrapped bread sticks, Cheese plate.

Also made Pancakes and guests had choice of Classic Eggs Benedict, Crab Florentine Eggs Benedict or Crab and Lobster Eggs Benedict.

Wife wanted hers with a boiled egg instead of poached.

Also made Akoori, which is not pictured.

Champagne, Mimosas and Martinis throughout

And just what are "scotch chips"?

I think I need some!

They look just like pancakes cooked with oil instead of butter--I love using oil to cook my pancakes!

Even better! A double dose of carbs! I'd have to sandwich some cheese in there, though, to get some protein. One must have a well-balanced diet, you know.

Finally, I get to contribute!

Saturday's breakfast: Chuck eye steak, crusted to perfect in a skillet, two (gooey) eggs, and sauteed mustard greens. Apologies for the quality of the picture, I was in a hurry to get it done and eat before the meal cooled (house was CHILLY that morning)

I was hungry this morning!

Salmon, egg, toast and pickle roll-ups

[percyn]

Shelby, looks delicious. Are "pickle roll-ups" your own invention or a regional thing?
