What's for breakfast

[aliantha]

[aliantha]

This morning, the girls and I did brunch at the Roanoker Restaurant. I had the Country Scrambled Canoe: two eggs scrambled with your choice of breakfast meat (I picked ham) and cheddar cheese, and two biscuits with sausage gravy. MmmmBOY. *Totally* worth undieting for. (The "canoe" is an oval-shaped dish that they serve the eggs on.)

Mmmmmmmm, strawberries. Suits my (rather severe) hangover perfectly. My other half is a genius

Two eggs over easy, taquitos with hot mustard and sweet and sour sauce for condiments....

Yeah, getting rid of items that have been sitting around for a while.

A toasted Everything bagel, with mayo, tomato, hedder cheese, a slice of ham, and one fried egg, cooked well enough so that the yolk would run all through the sandwich, but not enough to drip onto the plate.
-And a glass of GreensPlus

Butter a toast and fry in pan until golden brown.

Bring water to the boil, add salt and vinegar. Forcefully stir to create a swirl and quickly crack an egg into it. Due to the rotation of the swirl the white will wrap around the yolk. Gently boil for a like 3 or 4 minutes. The white shoukld be compact but the yolk still runny.

Take out and place on toast. Cover with Sauce Hollandaise (or Bernaise) and put it under the hot grill until it gets golden on top.

yummm...

Add a slice of Canadian Bacon and use an English muffin instead of toast, and you have one of my favorites, Eggs Benedict.

Dirtying up the blender to make a nice lemony hollandaise always discourages me from making it though...

We just made Hollandaise right in a regular pot on the stove, no blender needed.

Three egg yolks, half a cup of melted butter three tablespoons of boiling water, and a tablespoon of cooking sherry.

*nod*

For some reason doing it that way always "breaks" on me.
Slowly pouring melted butter into a blender with yolks, and then adding some lemon juice to flavor (I like mine quite lemon-y) works for me.

This is how I make hollandaise:

for ¾ liter/ 25oz sauce
· 1 shalott
· 4 black peppercorns
· 50 ml / 1.7oz dry white wine
· 125 ml / 4oz chicken stock
· 125 g butter
· 3 medium sized egg yolks
· salt
· 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Peal the shalott and cut into small cubes. Put into a small pot together with the peppercorns, white wine and 5 Tbs chicken stock and let reduce almost completely. Add the remaining stock and strain through a sieve catching th eliquid in a bowl.

Let the butter melt and slightly foam. Whip eggyolk and the liquid from the wine/shallott reduction in a double boiler (bain-marie) until it gets foamy.

Take off the hrat and let the liquid butter run into it first drop by drop than in a small stream, constantly whipping it until it starts to thicken.

Flavour with salt and lemon juice. For Bearnaise just add freshly chopped tarragon.

Ahhhh Eggs Benny.....

Melted egg yolks, mixed with melted butter, poured over more eggs and bacon.

Healthier to take a bullet in the stomach, but nuthin's better on a sunday morning. Add in about two potoato's worth of hash browns if you're hungover.

I always offer to do the dishes afterwards, and basically lick the pot clean.

More of a late morning brunch, but I'll probably have lunch later anyway, so...

Stoneyfield Farm Whole Milk Plain Yogurt
(with the cream on top, yummy)
with some store brand Grape Nuts mixed in
and a sliced banana

*heaven*

This morning, I had Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal with Nutella as a mix-in. It was like having warm chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for breakfast. Why have I never thought of this before?

(Well, okay, I *know* why. It's because of the 879 grams or so of sugar in two tablespoons of Nutella.... )

Chicken and mushroom biriyani.

I saved a bit of last night's dinner. SO glad I did, was spectacularly tasty!

Had a variation of eggs benedict again today - with bacon, sausage and bearnaise. After that it was peanut butter jelly time and now I'm so full that I could plotz.

And I thought smoked salmon benedict was sinful.

Lately I almost always have fresh-squeezed orange juice mixed with plain yogurt to wash my vitamins down. Of course, that's after a couple of mugs of Nigerian coffee, which my husband buys off the farm and roasts himself.

Btw, I remember it being called "Super Sugar Crisp". I remember that hipster bear saying it on the commercials. When I was very young most cereals were not sweetened and we added sugar ourselves-- lots of it! My favorite was from the Calvin and Hobbs comic strip; "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs".
