Bacon and Bacon
If I had been a member of Monty Python, we would be calling email spam... Bacon today.
I discovered this at a wonderful restaurant in Columbus, OH that is now closed, but it's a spicy indian chili-like dish that, when served with a fried egg on top, is just brutally delicious.
An everything bagel with plain cream cheese. I used to make my own bagels and have them all the time, but as I aged I became lactose intolerant, so I tried some of the vegan cream cheese brands, and let me tell you that shit is NOT the same, so I just stopped baking bagels, and I miss them.
Yeah, I've tried that, I even have these extra strength lactase pills from Europe with like 3x the amount of lactase as Lactaid, but it's still always unpredictable as to whether it will work or not, and if it doesn't, it will ruin the rest of my day.
Dang. Yeah unpredictability is the worst.
This is just for fun, but you might enjoy this video by someone who genetically engineered an everlasting gobstopper to give him long lasting lactose tolerance
Whoa, this is wild! Would totally do that even for a year of being able to handle dairy again!
Breakfast Tacos!!
Flour tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon strips and/or ground breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, refried beans (optional), and a line of habanero hot sauce.
Fucking 😙🤌!!!
It's also one of the best hangover cures!
Those are delicious.
Used to make something very similar, but we used a pancake for the "shell" instead of a tortilla.
Migas! It's a TexMex egg dish.
Beat eggs with salt, pepper, and cumin. Let them stand for 10 minutes, then dice a jalapeno and an equal amount of onion. Fry them for a couple of minutes, then add minced garlic. When the garlic is just fragrant, beat the eggs back to foaminess, then add to the pan. Let them set for about 45 seconds, then add a big dollop of salsa and mix. When the eggs are almost done to your liking, add a handful of cheese (I like cheddar or Oaxaca), and crumble in a handful of tortilla chips, the more stale the better. Let everything sit covered for a minute or two, then serve!
I like mine with extra jalapeno, and if I'm feeling saucy I add chorizo.
Omelettes. So versatile. So good. Of all the combos I love bacon and mushrooms in my american cheese omelettes best of all.
Pancakes are a close second.
Toasted bagel with cream-cheese and a sunny-side-up egg on top. Two eggs for the two halves of the bagel. Eat with hands knowing that some of the yolk will get on your fingers. It's awesome. I made it for my partner once and she now makes it for herself when she's eating alone.
Full English, however as everyone has slight variations or additions:
Sausages, hash brown, fried mushrooms, fried bread, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, fried egg.
... And now I'm hungry again.
That's not a bad spread. Should probably add that it's back bacon, and not streaky bacon that the yanks eat.
Yes! Good clarification to make! And the fat parts have to be cooked (too many a time I've ordered a breakfast, to get uncooked fat).
I would, but the band hasn't figured out that I don't really know how to play the tuba yet.
A nice breakfast bowl w/ sausage, egg, cheese, and shredded fried potatoes all mixed together. Throw in a glass of OJ and a mug of coffee and I am set.
It's actually been a while since I made it, since the extra effort of getting the potatoes right loses out to the morning ennui, so I end up substituting the eggs and potatoes for just grits.
My work cafeteria serves a similar breakfast bowl on Tuesdays. I think I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow
The one I eat most often is overnight oats, just steel cut oats and whole milk with some fruit if I have it. Favorite to eat is probably bananas foster french toast made with home made brioche. Nothing like starting your day with a brown sugar, caramel and rum sauce haha.
egg soboro right now: crack an egg in a pan, constant stirring, 8 minutes or so at the lowest heat, super fluffy, flavored textured egg curds.
I made this today with fresh eggs from a farm around the corner with fresh garlic and tomatoes from my garden and sprinkled with celery salt and parsley.
sounds great, except I don't know what celery salt is.
what is that?
oh, literally celery seeds ground up with salt.
I don't think I've ever cooked with it before. I'm going to have to give that a try, that's definitely a good combination.
Oh is that the term for it? I've been calling it "super smooth scrambled eggs" which doesn't adequately describe the texture. Egg curds is pretty close but it's almost like a creamed egg. So soft and fluffy, I like to add cream cheese into it while it's cooking and serve it on toast with melty cheese and a bit of tomato salsa. Yum!
That I don't have to make myself? Greek omelette. That I do have to make myself? Breakfast burritos that past me made a bunch of them froze for future me. Or just general food, we don't often have just breakfast food.
Cut a croissant in half. On the bottom half, spread out a healthy serving of a good chicken salad. Sprinkle a tiny bit of red pepper powder for a kick (optional but recommended). Put two slices of cheese on top of this. Put this in a toaster oven, preferably heat from above. Take it out when the cheese is melted. Replace the top croissant half and press down a bit so everything doesn't fall out when you take a bite. Enjoy the best start to your day.
Yakisoba with shrimp and napa cabbage.
Pho is also a great breakfast food.
When I'm feeling like punishing my digestive system, biscuits and gravy (homemade only--nobody seems to know how to make it properly anymore).
Fry up some bulk breakfast sausage, make a roux with the grease, add milk? Or do you anything different / have any tips?
You're mostly there.
Fry up the bulk sausage, making sure you chop it up nicely. Don't skimp on the sausage. Make a roux with the grease and a bit of flour and milk. Add flour and milk gradually to your desired consistency (I like it fairly thick), but don't go overboard on the milk or it will become bland and milky. Add fresh cracked black pepper and, importantly, no other seasonings or toppings.
That last part is where every place seems to go wrong these days. Almost everywhere overdoes it by trying to make it something fancy, so they add extra seasonings and things like bacon and green onions and salt. I love bacon and green onions and salt, but they don't go into gravy. And some places forget the pepper. You need pepper. And of course, most places are very skimpy on the actual sausage, even though it's cheap.
Anyway, once done, apply liberally to your preferred biscuits. Quick, easy, delicious.
Ah, right, pepper! I agree the pepper is important. I sometimes add some tobasco too (sorry!)
Nothing wrong with adding it to your own plate as long as it's not in the dish you're serving others. 😉
