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

[Chufi]

Yesterday I had some Fage yogurt topped with homemade strawberry-rhubarb compote and sliced fresh strawberries.  Yay summer!

Megan.. that is absolutely my favorite breakfast.

And I wouldn't mind having it for dessert, too.

it's 3 pm here and I had a big lunch and I'm supposed to be working and thanks to this thread, I am now contemplating making pancakes .. maybe I should make them for dinner!

I'm pretty sure I stole the idea from you - quite shamelessly.

I had breakfast at the City Bakery in New York last weekend - twice, not just once A pretzel croissant, a latte and orange juice on both occasions.

Now back home. On Wednesday morning I had couple of cannéles for breakfast (my boyfriend makes excellent ones, and always when I'm returning from a holiday ). Yesterday morning I had rhubarb muffins, today a tall glass of kefir with some frozen raspberries and agave syrup.

I made baked eggy tomatoes with bacon and German rye bread for breakfast today:

Scrambled eggs with creme fraiche and chives, with morels sauteed in butter

The eggs were cooked in a double boiler for 25 minutes over medium heat.

That's pretty close to Nell's (The Nightclub) recipe. Except they used something like equal parts butter to eggs. Whisk in a double boiler for a long time.

I've long since lost the recipe but boy was it ever good.

Mr. Kim's Father's day breakfast:

Buckwheat pancakes, Benton's bacon and scrambled eggs w/ cheese

I read these entries with envy and am constantly amazed at the breakfasts you folks create, but always thought it was a LOT of food. However, a recent report gives credence to the big breakfast.Big breakfast 'aids weight loss'

[percyn]

Interesting. Usually when I eat a big breakfast (or brunch), I certainly skip lunch and in some cases Dinner.

[SobaAddict70]

Late brunch today:

Green garlic and fromage blanc omelette

Morel mushrooms sauteed in butter

Mimosa (not shown)

Omelette: two eggs, salt, pepper, 1 T. fromage blanc, 1 T. green garlic paste. Cooked in unsalted butter

Morels: morels and unsalted butter. Very simple, doesn't need anything else.

[Shelby]

I want you to make that for me, Soba! WITH the mimosa

[SobaAddict70]

Thanks Shelby.

We had Saturday breakfast at one of our habitual joints. As much as I love a homemade breakfast, I adore eating the meal out. Even when it's just eggs and bacon, it feels like a vacation. I don't know why that is, but it's a great way to get that holiday feeling on the cheap! Sunday breakfast was scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese and chives, sage sausage from a local farm, hash browns and snowflake rolls:

The sausages tasted wonderful, but were so skinny and LONG (that's a very large plate) - I've never seen such long breakfast sausages!

[Pille]

Here's something we've had for breakfast/brunch twice during this week already - Swiss Toast with Egg and Cheese:

Simply beautiful food and photos Pille, makes me happy to see your stuff.

Here are my breakfasts over the weekend. First up Lamb Sweetbreads, Black Pudding, Egg & Bacon. The sweetbreads this month were a little small and tough. Do they have a season and is it coming to an end?

Next was a poached duck egg, black pudding again and assorted fried mushrooms:

hey PC, I have noticed the same thing with the sweetbreads lately so have taken to cooking them longer in a foaming butter/duck fat combo so that they crisp on the outside but are still creamy in the middle...

[Prawncrackers]

Ah now you see, I'd have thought that cooking sweetbreads for longer would make them tougher but you're saying the opposite is true. I'll try it with the batch I have in the freezer. Though I do suspect as these organs shrink as lambs or calves mature that they must be best in spring. Makes sense dunnit?! I don’t really know but i can convince myself it has the ring of truth about it.

I did think that the longer cooking would ruin them but after sampling one or two early on, decided to keep them on the heat for a few mins longer...actually the outside is quite nice when its slighlty crunchy....I didn't know the organs shrank as the animal grew, I think your deductive powers are spot on...

ETA: Floppy the dummy just realized that this thread pertains to what you cooked, not what you bought at the cafeteria. Oops

Pille - I went to your blog (dern, another blog to capture me) and got the recipe for the Grilled Swiss Toast with Egg and Cheese - it looks so simple and wonderful!

No problem, Floppy - I've never quite understood why breakfast and dinner threads entries are what you cooked, but lunch can be what you bought. Personally, I'd love seeing people's restaurant meals, too, but maybe those should be on the regional boards?

We had company this weekend, so I ended up making breakfast both days.

Breakfast on Saturday was baked eggs with ham and Cheddar and Giada's hazelnut cinnamon rolls:

Breakfast Sunday was toasted coconut waffles w/ homemade strawberry syrup , fruit salad, Benton's bacon, local sage sausage and some local tomatoes:

The tomatoes aren't really 'there' yet, but they were pretty darn good!

I personally believe that breakfast should full fo energy because our whole day work requires more energy so carbohydrate must be the important ingredient of this meal. Besides holiday i usually take our traditional bread called paratha with sometimes scramble eggs or fried potato or kabab. While on holiday i take some more healthy breakfast like fried bread of potato or lentils with ketchup. These are all very yummy......!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[percyn]

Talat, welcome to eGullet and the Breakfast thread!

Lentils with ketchup ??!!?? What kind of lentils...masoor?
