The What’s for dinner tonight? thread has been pretty popular, and has run longer than other threads on the same subject have. So I thought I’d start a ‘What’s for breakfast today?’ thread.
Roomie worked last night, and today is a telecommuting day; so I thought I’d have breakfast waiting for her. The bacon was just finished as she walked in the door, and the plates were warming in the oven. In two minutes she had a French omelette, brushed with butter and sprinkled with dill, ready for her ‘dinner’. Two minutes later I had my breakfast ready.
Cubed up taters, onions, green peppers, hot peppers, garlic, salt, pepper. Three eggs over easy so I can mix the runny parts into the potatoes. Some salsa on the side to mix as needed. A couple slabs of Texas toast with strawberry-rhubarb jam. Orange juice (and the pulp, thank you) and coffee.
Everything bagel with cream cheese, handful of almonds, loads of coffee. Pretty much the same thing every weekday - on occasion I’ll have a pb&j instead of the bagel.
Saturday/Sunday is something fresh made with a degree of difficulty largely contingent on how much beer I drank the night before.
This morning, I was in the mood for eggs; I scrambled two, with salt, pepper, country herbs and cream cheese. Just as they were almost done cooking, I added a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese. I ate these along with a buttered whole-wheat English muffin.
Slice of bacon, diced and half cooked. Add a diced medium potato, black and red pepper and cook until browned over medium heat. Fold in 1 beaten egg, dust with parmesan or grated cheddar, cover and reduce heat to simmer until egg is cooked.
For extra fancy, flip onto plate and slide back into pan until browned on top as well.
I slapped 2 pieces of wheat bread into the toaster oven on medium, then cracked an egg into my frying pan on medium and covered it.
Then, after a minute, I plopped a piece of pepper jack cheese on the egg and recovered for 30 seconds.
Next I mixed the egg/cheese so that the cheese melted but the egg was still a bit runny and set that on the toast with a squirt of ketchup, a shake of salt and a shake of pepper.
