What did you have for breakfast thread?

Pang

Seeing as it's a Monday, I tried to be a little healthier than I've been.

Porridge with pineapple, banana, blueberries and coconut flakes.

Mrs Fox

Leftover Pad Thai from dinner I made last night.

The Hill Billy

Two slices of my mother-in-law's brown bread toasted & a mug of tea. Enjoying a creamy pint now in a local away from the hustle & bustle of her kitchen.

Pang

Had Nigella's Eggs in Purgatory with some wholemeal yeast bread I made yesterday. Delicious.

Minder

Brunch of bacon, black & white, eggs and toast. Clonakility white was very oniony - not a pleasant taste on a breakfast plate.

As per her suggestion on twitter? I considered them myself but the mother in law provided a full on fry.

Faith

I'm painfully jealous of everyone who had a fry today. Especially if you had black pudding.

Saw it on Facebook and thought I am definitely making that. So enjoyable. Perfect hangover food!

Left over Chinese which consisted of some Singapore noodles and amber fired beef from Peking in Ashbourne. It was amazing and I'm not even sorry. I would highly recommend the beef to anyone who lives in the vicinity of one of the peking chain of Chinese restaurants to go and try it.

It also cures hangovers!!

Onions for breakfast? I remember Clonakilty white having a peppery flavour, like allspice berries. Has the recipe changed?

Yeah, why not? If I recall, homemade hash browns feature onions.

MissFlitworth

A s'mores pop tart. BIT addicted and they are a ridiculous non-food. Oh well.

Gloomtastic!

Baked eggs with ham and dark rye bread soldiers!

Markcheese

French toast - maple syrup and/or strawberry jam - nom nom nom -
Fry the toast in oil and just before it's done stick a tiny knob of butter on the hot pan under the toast - smell'd drive you mad -

Photo-Sniper

Got a present of a juicer for christmas so went a bit mad in the turkish market yesterday..

Needless to say Breakfast was delicious, made 4 juices for me and girlfriend and a few slices of toast.

MissFlitworth

A raspberry bakewell (from the same bakery as last night's peanut butter brownie, we picked up a rake o'cakes from them) and a cup of coffee. It was swearing out loud good.

BenEadir

Mixed leaves tossed in olive oil, 300g of streaky bacon grilled until crisp then diced up nice and small and crumbled over the leaves with 3 soft goooey poached eggs on top with a generous twist of ground black pepper.

Mmmmmmm

Sunday breakfast, went a bit doolally in the kitchen and made this for breakfast... the end of the baked ham topped with homemade guacamole and a poached egg. I hadn't poached an egg in years so was delighted I could still get it right.



Here's the gooey oozy yokey niceness with a good twist of black pepper:

heldel00

I've yet to crack (geddit?!) the perfect poached egg. Any tips?

seventeen sheep

Oooh that really is the perfect poached egg! How do you do it?

homemadecider

Crack the egg into a cup.

Get water on to heat in a saucepan. Once it's at a simmer, lower the heat. You don't want any bubbly boily action when poaching.

Throw in a bit of vinegar (white wine vinegar is good, this time I used rice vinegar as it's all I had - just don't use balsamic or your egg will go brown) and using a spoon stir the water clockwise. Keep stirring until you've created a gentle whirlpool, then drop the egg carefully into the water. Set timer for 3 mins and then fish the egg out gently with a slotted spoon.

Works for me pretty much every time!

Porridge topped with greek yoghurt and a couple of loaded tablespoons of homemade granola (oats, walnuts, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, a little cocoa, a little salt and equal parts maple syrup & sunflower oil)

I would do serious damage to someone to anyone getting in between me and that poached egg ham guacamole combo.

Breakfast at the desk, the remains of the four hour baguette (holding up reasonably well, considering I made it on Sunday) with an avocado crushed on top and an ungodly amount of crunchy sea salt. Lemon and ginger Twinings tea.

Pang

Toasted sourdough with smoked salmon and avocado. Woke up craving salmon during the night so had to have it!

kylith

American-ish style pancakes - self raising flour, milk, egg, with a grated apple in it, topped with honey. Very satisfying.

Mrs Fox

Country-style Malaysian coconut pancake, with homemade sambal. The others had them with honey.

Crumpets

Scrambled egg, bacon and cream cheese on a toasted bap. Nice hangover breakfast. And by god I needed it.

Gloomtastic!

Sausage muffin with some of last night's guacamole and a poached egg.

Equil

One banana with 4 Jacob's Kimberley biscuits and a mug of Barry's Rooibos tea.

Peig Sayers

Haggis omelette! We had leftover haggis from Friday night so I fried it and crumbled it into the omelette along with mushrooms and cheese. Delicious it was!

sounds amazing do you have a recipe?

I put a little coconut oil (you could use butter) in a small frying pan
Add a few frozen (or fresh) blueberries/raspberries/whatever you like and then half a banana sliced up

Mash the other half of the banana up as well as you can (very ripe bananas work best for this reason) and then add 1 or 2 eggs and beat together
Now add a tablespoon or cinnamon or mixed spice, I like quite a lot as it gets rid of the eggy taste
Add a tablespoon of ground almonds, mix and pour over the fruit - fry for a minute or 2 and then pop under the grill to finish

This morning I had a bit of shredded coconut leftover from baking yesterday so I chucked that in as well, the texture was really nice!

I sprinkle with a bit more cinnamon whilst it's still hot
Sometimes I make this the night before and heat up at work in the microwave for about 45 seconds

I got into these whilst on a detox diet but have kept eating them as i love them so much - I normally eat an avocado before or after for fibre so it's actually a very nutritious breakfast although a little high in calories if you're counting them

Crumpets

I had a leftover roast dinner for breakfast :pac:

Is that the sambal that is on the Random Recipe thread? Could you post the pancake recipe please?

beertons

Porridge with banana, blueberries, honey and cinnamon. I had the toast on and was going to the fridge to get jam, but saw a pack of salt and vinegar crisps on my way. So long jam, hello crisp sambo.

If the kids saw what I just did, I'd be in trouble.

This sambal is more aromatic and concentrated compared to the one in random recipe, so it's suitable as a condiment, or base to make a sambal dish (prawn/squid/chicken/fish). Can be kept in a sterilised jar and lasts for a month.
I'll put both pancake and sambal recipes up in the random thread.

jmauel

Poached eggs, sauteed spinach on 2 slices of toasted Parsnip, Parmesan & Thyme bread.

yum!
