Decadent Breakfast

Muffins, quick breads? I'd stay away from the cinnamon buns cuz I like mine hot and gooey :)

Very fancy muffins, like mini coffee cakes with maybe a fruit or cheesecake or chocolate swirl or centre, and a crumble topping.

Mini quiches.

Something like -- I forget what they're called -- those Middle Eastern turnover things, with spinach and feta cheese inside, or seasoned soft cheese. (Oh, I love those things! They sell them at our local market, and they make a GREAT breakfast!)

Also pain au chocolat, cheese danish, fruit turnovers...

ruggelah (yes, Wendy i'm still around!)

Decadent? I am not sure I understand. Does this word has another meaning than the one I know?

Anyway , since you want something really sweet.
Prepare the filling for the backlava and instead of using a pan , prepare small rolls of backlava.
You can add chocolate chips in the baclkava mixture that they will melt during baking.
Be carefull not to make the syrop too sweet in that case

OR

make small triangles( like tyropitakia-tiny cheese pies) of baclava and cover them with chocolate.

I wonder if there is something more decadent than eating chocolate baclava in the morning LOL

Sounds like you understand just fine :)

My vote:

Anything containing chocolate

Some thoughts:

Choc dipped strawberries;
Small cream puffs--half dipped in chocolate;
Warm breakfast burritos filled w/sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese;
Quesedillias filled with thin-sliced prime rib, grilled onions, peppers, scrambled eggs, and sharp cheddar;
Mango salsa served with the above two items;
Roasted rosemary new potatoes;
fat tender pieces of roasted asparagus;
skewered fruit laced with fresh pineapple, berries; jicama, ham chunks, and/or shrimp (roast the filled skewers for a minute with a honey/fresh jalapeno sauce);
Rolled pancakes or french toast fingers served with a warm brandy dunking sauce.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, sounds more decadent than cut-up items such as fresh fruit and french toast bites with a big container of Russian cream. A breakfast fondue, if you will.

:chef: ~~Shimmer~

Picking up on CompassRose and Henry:

Really buttery puff pastry turnovers OR cream puffs filled with
-- truffled soft-scrambled eggs
-- soft-scrambled eggs and caviar
-- eggs + Tallegio cheese + diced proscuitto
-- grilled vegs, with or without cheese (would have to be a very soft cheese, since cooled-down melted can be yuckey)
-- Turkish "brik" with the egg yolk that oozes out when you bite.

Re: Decadent Breakfast

Before we get carried away, let's not forget the rules of the game :)

Since Isa's original post also mentioned "sweeter, more gooey", I assumed we will have, at the mininum, napkins for this breakfast? Right?


Where are we having this breakfast and why don't we have plates and forks? However, I am sure that I could manage to eat any of the above items sans plate or fork, but pleeease, give me a napkin!

Blintzes!:bounce:

I could go for a cup of hot chocolate made with Droste's cocoa. A mixture of cream and half and half would be scalded and added gradually to a cocoa - sugar mixture and stirred not shaken, to allow the cocoa to absorb the liquid fully. Add the slurry back to the pan and heat NOT to the boiling point. Then pour into your favorite cup and drink.

I love high fat cocoa with a side order of croissants - made with butter. The diabetic gods will love me.

No thanks, Athaeneus, the baklava I eat is not made with chocolate.

I really hate to admit this ----I love sausage and egg mcmuffins, it's the only thing about McD. that I like. And also sugar raised donuts. I realize I'm really not contributing any help, and I sound like the ad council for the high fat and cholesterol diet, but really, I only eat like that once in a while. Oh, the decadence!


I love making cinnamon rolls out of croissant dough. There a less gooey version than regular cinnamon rolls but more buttery. Rugulah is good too, as well as coffeecake type of bundts with cinnamon chocolate streusel filling.:D

Um, excuse me...

...AngryChef? Hi, I'm from The American Heart Association...:)

Cheese knishes from Jonah Shimmel's. I know they ship :)

...Or you can serve lead weights:D !

I'll tell Jonah you said hello Michelle :)

Blintez decadent Momo?

Soft coddled eggs, slathered in white truffle butter, a little slice of toasted brioche, and some crispy pancetta lardoons for texture.

A flute of very dry "Le Grand Dame"...and then a nap.;)

Decadent enough??

How about blinis with caviar and Champagne to wash that down!! What time are we expected? :rolleyes:

and don't forget the sour cream...

and the smoked salmon!

Breakfast...I could live on it.

How about a Brioche into which an extremely tasty (and properly cooked) sausage has been baked? (That's savory...)

Chocolate croissants are rich, buttery and the chocolate adds the ever important decadence factor.

How about a well made fruit turnover?

Pull-apart bread? It's gooey and sticky.

Fruit tart with mascarpone and poached dried fruit, don't forget the vanilla bean and zest in the filling.....

I adore brioche raisin cinnamon rolls with the raisins soaked in bourbon (makers mark) orange zest and then the soaking liquid used to make the glaze...

Great croissants with a brie or triple cream and fine jam....

How about maple cream in a pastry cream with walnuts in a short crust topped with rum glazed bananas or another fruit that goes with maple...kinda a Canadian winter tart...with a taste of the tropics.

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake -- tastes better the second day, transports well, what's better than cheesecake to start the morning?

If you want a savory option - how about a smoked salmon cheesecake -- you won't have a million little containers....

I ditto the mini eclairs, cream puffs -- so tiny perfect and decadent when served with morning coffee

have fun!

Hi Shroomgirl. Your idea for the beakfast thingy sounds great. Is there a recipe around for it? Can you provide? Thanks you either way.
"How about maple cream in a pastry cream with walnuts in a short crust topped with rum glazed bananas or another fruit that goes with maple...kinda a Canadian winter tart...with a taste of the tropics":)

Mimosas, I think, and lots of them.

OLI~ no recipe, just made it up......I'd make a pastry cream and while still hot add maple cream or maple granules.....add finely chopped walnuts to a short pastry crust, make sure to glaze the crust with jelly before adding the pastry cream topp with bananas or pineapple that have been cooked in buttery rum brown sugar......I bet Momo or MBrown could adapt to a recipe pretty easily.

Thanks, but what is maple cream or granules? If I glaze the crust with jelly, won't the hot pastry cream just melt the glaze, and what is the purpose of the jelly?
Sorry for the naive questions.
