I forgot about chicken-fried steak, since I have it so seldom. I used to travel to San Antonio on business and the hotel kitchen put out one the size of a platter. Good times.
And my wife tells me the same thing!
Ginger Fried Rice - a great use for leftover rice, with an egg on top. Absolutely delicious. FWIW, I generally do 1:1 leeks and rice, not 2:1 as the recipe calls for.
This fancy pancake thing, although it’s not THAT fancy. Actually kind of easy to make.
Real quiche, made in a ring mold instead of a pie tin so it’s 2"+ deep. It really makes a difference, and it’s a royal pain-in-the-ass to make, so I don’t do it often. The linked recipe has bacon, but there’s plenty of veggy options, I just linked it for the technique.
You could add some fruit or chocolate chips to the pancakes batter .
Mine is homemade fries with onions , turkey bacon or sausages , marble bagel with cream cheese , hazelnut coffee , 2 eggs over easy and I fried some banana too.
I like fresh fruit but is hard to get decent fruits in the winter in New England.
How about an omelets with shrimp and avocado
Lowcountry Shrimp & Grits (using jumbo Mayport shrimp), strong coffee and a couple extra-spicy Bloody Mary’s.
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Just way too much butter and eggs for anything but a special treat, but I made it for Christmas breakfast and it was delicious. Serve with sparkling wine for extra decadence.
A healthier option is eggs poached in salsa. I used jarred salsa, and add some corn, grilled pepper and fresh tomatoes, but that’s not necessary. Heat salsa in saucepan, drop in as many eggs as you require, cover and simmer until eggs are cooked. Serve on a warm tortilla topped with grated cheese, sour cream and chopped cilantro (optional).
French toast with fresh honey. Cheese omelet and bacon. Fresh squeezed OJ.
Finished off with piping hot coffee.
Lost me right there.
Got nothin’ for ya, but maybe an onion bagel, smoked salmon, capers and more red onion.
But it really needs a huge mound of bacon on top.
Two options:
“Pan con palta” with the traditional Peruvian “pan francés*” and tasty Nava avocado. A pinch of salt and that’s it.
The other is “salchicha de Huacho”. This is a tasty sausage, with a distinctive orange color due to the use of annato. Fry it, mix a couple of eggs just before they are done, stick in a ciabatta bun and you’re good to go.
*Peruvian “pan francés” is as French as eating pelmeni while watching a baseball match in Namibia.
With a nod to The Old Coffeepot in new Orleans:
Eggs Sardou: Eggs poached and placed on top of creamed spinach and artichokes on an English muffin then topped with hollandaise sauce.
or
Eggs Conti: Poached eggs topped with chicken livers sautéed with onions and peppers on top of a biscuit, with brown gravy.
or
Lost bread made with thick sliced french bread.
Dutch babies with sugar and lemon are one of my favorite, easy to do and easy to impress breakfasts (and I’m one who doesn’t normally like sweet breakfasts)
Link to recipe here; click on photo for video.
Also a big fan of shaksuka, a Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in a tomato sauce spiced with various things, but I typically do cumin, paprika, hot pepper flakes, garlic, onion, and either bell peppers or hot peppers if I got them around.
Chorizo and eggs is always good, especially with home fries or hash browns.
If have my homemade green chile sauce around, then a couple over easy eggs with chile sauce, perhaps on a fried corn tortilla, also hits the spot. If I had a red chile sauce, too, then two over easy eggs, with green chile sauce over one and red sauce over the other for huevos divorciados.
ETA: Oh, and homemade corned beef hash with some nice runny eggs, either over easy or just sunny side up.
Ok, you’re on the right track, but switch out the onion bagel for a poppy seed bagel and switch out the smoked salmon for smoked whitefish salad.
…better still, keep the smoked salmon and just add the smoked whitefish salad
…and don’t forget a couple extra-spicy bloody Mary’s to wash down the huge mound of bacon.
I like to cut up a potato into 1/2 inch cubes, par-boil them and then cook them in an iron skillet with a diced onion, garlic, paprika and chopped bacon. If I have any green onions, bell pepper or jalepeno I’ll chop and toss it in as well. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and serve with a fried egg on top or scrambled on the side.
“Egg enchiladas”:
Slightly fry a couple of corn tortillas and dip them thoroughly in red enchilada sauce, and lay on top of them a sunny-side-up egg. Drizzle the egg with a bit more enchilada sauce. Serve with home fried potatoes and onions.
We have a nearby breakfast place that makes those; sort of like an open-faced strudel.
For company, I like to make an Italian sausage frittata: eggs, onion, fried potatoes, garlic, rosemary and browned sausage. Let it set on the burner, then top with grated melting cheese (like chedder) and transfer to the broiler. Take it directly to the table, hot, browned and bubbling, and bask in the praise.
This is similar to what I do sometimes. Cook four rashers of bacon in a cast-iron frying pan. While the bacon is cooking, dice a potato into a bowl, and cook with a little water in the microwave oven for five minutes. When the bacon is done, remove the meat and cook the potatoes and a chopped onion, seasoned with salt and ground black pepper, in the grease. When the potatoes and onions are done, chop up the bacon and stir it in. Flatten the mixture, and put four ‘dimples’ in it. Crack an egg into each dimple. Cover and cook until whites are set and yolks are liquid.
This is challenging to choose just one, but if I have to decide, I am a fool for a breakfast sandwich. Eggs, bacon (crispy) and cheese in a croissant or toasted, lightly buttered English muffin. Of course, a side of home fries with onions.
Google a recipe caramelized onion and gruyere strata. Yum. It’s so rich.
Apple pannekoekens (dutch babies) are fabulous, top with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream? Heaven!
homemade buttermilk biscuits made with country ham or sausage gravy …
actually if it was up to me id just eat than 3 or 4 times a day …
at crazy ottos I was known as dozens … because I ate a dozen biscuits and a pan of gravy one time …
