For the past couple of weeks, my local grocer has had great specials on eggs and various cheeses. ($.69 for a dozen large eggs, $1.00 off 2 packs of Kraft cheese coupon on the carton, cheese on sale @ 3/$5.00, for everything from basic cheddar to feta and bleu cheese.) Omelets and quiches are obvious. What else? (Yeah, I have 8 dozen eggs and 5 pounds of various cheeses! But I also have 4 kids at home, so…) Breakfast, dinner, snacks, whatever!
“Homemade” Egg McMuffins are mighty tasty. Use butter, a slice of sausage or ham, bacon, and crispy toasted English muffin. Eggs in a small bowl covered with a splash of milk will nuke in the microwave OK for these. Make two, because the first one will be so good.
I have some very nice breakfast sausage, so that sandwich sounds perfect. (And I like “nuking” my eggs for sandwiches, because the final egg product is round and perfect for an English muffin, if I use the right bowl!)
Crepes. I use this Alton Brown recipe. It’s real easy and you can put anything in them you like.
When time isn’t a factor I like to dice a russet up and fry them up in a cast iron skillet w/butter. Add some diced onion later, more butter. Maybe caramelize the onion if you like. Experiment. If I don’t know what I want to eat, but I’m hungry, fry up some onions.
Then pour over a mixture of scrambled egg and sour cream whipped together, a couple different cheesii, maybe some salsa, tomatos, whatever you like, and bake in a slow oven for 15 or 20 minutes or so.
'Twixt coupons and specials today, I bought 5 pounds of russet potatoes for a quarter, so a nice potato fry sounds perfect! And the local sweet onion crop is in, so we may have the making for a nice budget supper!
I like to add diced bacon and some freshly chopped chillies at the frying stage.
There’s always the simplest of all: Scrambled eggs w/ cheese. Throw in no more than a slice of American per egg when the eggs get just a little past soft-scrambled, wait for it to melt a bit, and stir.
Breakfast burritos.
Get yourself some peppers, onions and tortilla chips (or just fry your own tortilla chips), and make some migas. I firmly believe there is no better egg dish.
Breakfast quesadillas.
Takes two small non-stick pans. One with a bit of oil and a corn tortilla. The second to cook an egg well mixed with a bit of milk. Medium hot pan, add oil & egg - salt, pepper and red peppers to taste. Push egg to center until mostly set. Carefully slide egg on to tortilla in other pan. Add grated cheese and fold tortilla or top with a previously cooked tortilla. Flip and cook both sides until desired level of crispy.
Serve with salsa & sour cream.
Cooking a bit of chorizo, bacon or sausage before egg is good too.
Quick and easy breakfast I had this morning.
Two eggs, scrambled, everything below added while cooking.
sliced turkey breast, torn up
shredded four cheese mix
shavings of Kerry Gold Cheddar made with Irish Stout
black pepper, small flash of red pepper.
Should have put the cheddar in first to melt all over, but I ended up putting the shavings in last and they remained largely intact (if melted).
I’ve made this ‘bake’ numerous times and it is great.
I wanted to make a light breakfast because Mrs. L.A. got up late and she was taking me out to dinner later. I didn’t even cook potatoes; just scrambled eggs (with milk, as we don’t have any cream), bacon, shredded cheddar, and Tapatio. I warmed flour tortillas on the griddle. I made six; one for me, one for Mrs. L.A., and one each for the guys building the new deck out back.
Crack an egg into a baggie, add whatever. Goosh it up. Lay it in the microwave in such a way that it doesn’t run out. Zap it 'til it puffs up. Flip over and repeat. Break open onto bread. Eat.
A savory cheesecake might be good.
Ok so, thisis my favorite mac & cheese recipe. It calls for a lot of other stuff but it will get you through 2 lbs of cheese and 2 eggs (sorry, lame). You don’t necessarily have to use the exact same cheeses noted in the recipe, you could work whatever 2 lbs you have in there. My friend likes to sort of save up his leftover bits of cheese from other projects and use them in this recipe.
It’s so incredibly dense that one casserole could go a long way even for a family of 6. It’s delicious cold, and you can even batter and fry it later.
If I were the guys building the deck, I’d stretch out the job 
Well, they shared their BBQ pork ribs and chicken and asparagus and tortillas with me and the missus. 
(They used my Weber grill, which will probably be replaced after the deck is done.)
