Looks tasty. I havnt come across anything yet that i enjoy more then eggs benedict. Only when the cook or chef knows how to do a good hollandaise though. I hate going into a restaurant and ordering it and when i take the back of my fork across the sauce and taste it and i realise its from a package i get awfully dissapointed.... Yea,... nice traditional fresh eggs benny from a respectable place.
I love eggs benedict to, so rich and decadent its something i would order at a cafe for sure, this dish is home food healthy and warming to the soul not so much the senses lol
Porridge, cooked the authentic Scot's way then served with salt ans a dash of milk. On a day when I'm feel like comfort food, a well-fired breakfast roll filled with Larne sausage and liberal amounts of HP sauce!
I like more sleep for breakfast. Leave me along, get rid of all the stupid pita things that are gonna wake me up getting on my nerves. After that, I want good strong coffee and whatever is left-over from yesterday, if I liked what it was in the first place. I have no real correlation with time-of-day and what type of meal I should eat. I think I just enjoy good stuff at any given meal.
I enjoy a good breakfast burrito: dice the white onion, dice the red and green bell peppers, Julienne the tomato, fresh jalapeno pepper seeded. Shred some pepper or Monterrey Jack after the veggies are mixed with my eggs. Then I'll chop up some sausage and bacon. If I'm feeling really good or lucky, that burrito gets turned into a quesadilla.
Fresh baked bisquets, 2 or 3, split thank you very much. A small tab of butter on each piece topped with 2,, fresh, over easy (that is the way I like them) eggs. Now comes the good part... sausage gravy with big chunks of sausage. No wait, add 2 sausage patties then add the sausage gravy. Lots please, soak it down.
Now add a tall glass of local fresh squeezed orange juice, add a couple ice cubes to cool it off a bit. Now I need only 2 cups...no, 2 mugs (no idea why anyone drinks coffee in a tiny cup) of locally grown, roasted and ground coffee. Now that breakfast is complete it is time to retreat to the hammock and take a short nap..
I just remembered a breakfast from a few years back. This was when I was still doing Intermountain Vintage Racing out in Wendover, Utah. Or Nevada, depending on which side of the line you are on. Anyway sunday morning I got things at the race site under control and decided to sneak into one of the casinos to get some breakfast before it got busy. One place had a breakfast buffet, the usual hard, dry eggs, really gooey oatmeal, bacon that has been under a heat lamp for a week or two, hash browns you could use to retread a tire, that sort of thing.
But this place had a treasure - a pan full of fresh strawberry blintzes. They were really tasty! But what surprised me was that I was the only one eating them! Other diners would glance at them, then move on to the more familiar breakfast buffet crap. I tried my best, but I couldn't quite eat the whole pan full myself. Maybe this coming weekend I'll make my sweetheart some blintzes.
Fresh squeezed orange juice. Three double shots of excellent espresso. Platter of perfect smoked whitefish, barbecued cod, and lox, with sliced red onions, black olives, and capers. Marinated herring with sour cream and onions. Cole slaw and potato salad. Poppy seed and "all seed" bagels. Cream cheese.
Pretty much anything bready and anything that i can't usually get here.
1. English muffins (Thomas' brand) - could eat them with butter and sometimes jam every day of my life for breakfast and never feel deprived. With lots of american coffee with lots of milk in it.
2. Buttermilk Pancakes with butter and blueberry sauce (this is what i make every sunday - easy blueberry sauce, boil sugar and water till soft ball stage and then shut gas and dump in frozen blueberries, a grating of nutmeg
3. waffles will also do
4. plain bagels toasted - one half with butter to dunk in the coffee, the other half maybe with cream cheese
5. Cinnamon raisin rolls or bread
6. good corn muffins or blueberry muffins
then if anyone wants to throw in some american bacon and maybe some eggs fried on high heat so lacey underneath and then turned over for an instant to cook the mucous top surface and turn it white but leave the yolk runny to dip my cinnamon raisin toast into, i wouldn't mind that either.
waking up slow, coffee in bed, really good artisanal bread toasted, topped with melted extra sharp cheddar and west indian hot sauce, or a quesadilla with salsa or leftover fajitas(cold)....really cold tomato juice with horseradish, or actually a bloody mary if i'm not working.....maybe one little nibble of chocolate before heading back to bed! i absolutely adore cold leftovers for breakfast, roasted chicken and lasagne being my all time favorites, followed by pizza with anchovies and shrimp cocktail...good strong black coffee always.
I'm not much of a big eater when it comes to breakfast - I'm a fan of a mixed bowl of fresh fruit, a few slices of cheese and a strong cup of coffee. At least during the week that is, come the weekend I love to go out for brunch (so not technically breakfast) but the sky is the limit... from the greasy spoon breakfast to a triple stack of yogurt pancakes with a fresh fruit compote ad usually I like to wash it all down with a chocolate milkshake... ya I know, I overindulge, but hey it's the weekend!
I LOVE eggs, fried tomato, hot buttered toast with smoked salmon! It is gorgeous. I have never been a fan of the typical cereal as I love hot food for breakfast...
I love eggs benedict but have run into too much disappointment ordering them at restaurants, even if the restaurant is good. Sometimes the sauce is not good. But most of the time my poached eggs reek of vinegar. Come on people, we can't poach an egg in water anymore? And is it too difficult to toast the english muffin?
I am really honked. I had to go to Cincinnati Friday and I really wanted to pick up some of those Wonderful Belgium Waffles from "A Taste of Belgium"
Well, the search engines listed Bob Evans as selling them. I could not imagine it, so I called and asked, and the person I spoke to said "yes well sell them." And I double checked saying, "You sell waffles from another establishment, not cooked there at your restaurant." And I was told "Yes, we have a separate bakery where we sell cupcakes and things like that. We sell the waffles from Taste of Belgium".
Well, I planned around that, and when I got there, guess what? No one in the whole store, including the manager had ever heard of it. The bakery was there, but all they had were brownies and cupcakes. Blah. So I came home empty handed.
Taste of Belgium is a bakery started by a man from Belgium who imports his pearl sugar and has authentic equipment. I am SO upset I was not able to buy any.
It was after 5 PM by the time I was finished and I was pretty sure the downtown bakery was closed by then. (Part of a city market) They also have a restaurant, but could not find parking place. Both locations are downtown, & it is very hard to find parking place to run in, buy and go back out. I'll eat alone in a restaurant, but not on a Friday evening. I won't go on Friday evening with someone else, even.

One of our favorites too. This morning we continued to enjoy cold smoked Nova lox I made this weekend. Smoked white fish is a favorite too
I still love eggs as morning meal
