Eggs (3), bacon, avocado, tomato, red pepper, mushroom, beet and cabbage saurkraut, asiago cheese.
skipped breakfast to get to the pool on time
heating up some veggie dim sum buns my friend May picked up for me at the chinese grocery this morning (swap for a batch of mini canning jars I swapped for earlier this week)
dim sum any time
yum
My usual breakfast veg, but this time instead of egg and bacon, I made some wild coho salmon.
Somehow, somewhere, I gave up breakfast.
Unless 2 or 3 cups of black coffee counts.
Things like oatmeal moved to being an evening thing.
Just finished up scrambled eggs, toast and tomatoes. If that doesn't sound good at first blush, consider this:
The eggs were scrambled in melted butter until still soft, at which time they were plated immediately. Hot, Bavarian style well toasted multigrain, generously buttered. Surprisingly great well ripened tomatoes with terrific flavour (unusual at this time of year around these parts) with a smidgen of sea salt, and, as is my wont, I little Hellman's dabbed on every third or fourth bite until it was gone from the plate.
I could nap right now
@Joeblow,
Avocado with a little goat yogurt drizzled on top (probiotics don't cha know)
with tomato, bacon, eggs, cheese.
Cottage cheese and Greek yoghurt
@Phoenix32890,
Coffee with cream, then crumpet.
Sunday is when the spouse and I have breakfast together. Always biscuits, eggs and bacon or sausage. Sometimes fried, other times scrambled. This week I cooked bacon in the cast iron skillet, covered with water. It was the second week attempting this. Last time the bacon was pretty good. This week it was perfect. I let the bacon cook at medium heat until the water was just about gone before flipping the bacon. A little more cooking, then viola -
@edgarblythe,
so you boil your bacon?? Ive never heard of that. Even bacon or panchetta in soups or pasta say=uces (like carbonara) are always fried crispy first.
Doesnt boiling just dilute the favor?
@farmerman,
It changes the flavor a bit. But it comes out beautiful flat and crispy.
Finally had eggs Benedict at brunch this past Sunday.
I have been craving it since mother's day when my husband typically makes it for me. Unfortunately he was unable to make it for me because there has been NO hollandaise sauce in the stores. I have been in search of it since. Still cannot find it in the store.
So when I went out for brunch - I had to get it. Ah it was wonderful.
@Linkat,
I remember making it in the past.
It's just egg yolks, butter and a little dijon, salt and pepper.
@chai2,
Yeah I thought about looking up a recipe but didn't want to do it for mothers day - figured someone else should but nope if I didn't get the package stuff I knew I would not get it.
Since then whenever I am in the store I look to see if they have any - nope cannot find it.
Even better to spend too much money for it, but get a great one - cooked perfectly.
@edgarblythe,
I love Sunday breakfasts.
Today, yogurt and bran buds.
@edgarblythe,
I've never heard of that technique for bacon. Do you get a lot of sodium out of the bacon that way? I have been buying lower sodium bacon, it just seems to be more flavorful.
@Linkat,
Do you buy Knorr's Hollandaise Sauce Mix? It's actually pretty good...not like made fresh, but still pretty good. If you can't find it in the store, you can get it thru Amazon....the down side is that they sell it in packs of 10 or 12.

Yes that is the one - and I did see it on amazon - I use it so infrequently I did not want the pack of 12. This pack would probably last me 3 years!
But funny thing is - I noticed that alot of these package types of sauces seem to be in low supply - in that area of the supermarket there is a pretty bare shelf where they house these types of sauces.
More curious why these particular products are low in supply than anything else. I don't use it enough to buy in bulk.
@Linkat,
Knorr also makes a Green Peppercorn Sauce that is terrific with Beef. I can't find it locally anymore, but I can get it thru Amazon from Canada. I don't cook for a crowd any longer, but I used it in the past as a side sauce for a whole beef tenderloin. Everybody loved the sauce and asked for the recipe, I had to admit it came in a packet....tres embarrassing.
Me n Rocky had some boiled eggs. Later I had a bowl of organic cereal with whole organic milk.
