What's for Breakfast?

[MoeFOH]

Are you a breakfast person? What's your go-to breakfast?

For me, breakfast runs the full gamut--I can happily have basically nothing, a cup of coffee on its own, maybe a piece of toast & vegemite, or I can go the full breakfast fry-up or a big arse burrito or get into something swanky that inevitably involves some new way of smashing avocado up and pretending it's novel. 

I love changing it up, especially when someone recommends something I haven't tried, be it a recipe or breakfast cafe/restaurant. 

Post up pics & recipe (if you want) of your favourite breakfast fetish of late...

I'm kicking things off with one of my faves... mushrooms (fried up in butter) on toast... so simple, so good!

This is all the breakfast I really need.

I’ll post pictures tomorrow but I start with a pot of French press coffee about 6:00 and have a berry and yogurt smoothie about 9:30.

Slightly unorthodox breakfast today, but I'm having a salad leftover from our Italian delivery last night. The gnocchi were awesome.  The salad for breakfast is, well, salad.

I love the German Pancake, personally (sometimes called a "Dutch Baby").

I learned to love it at Walker Brothers (get the plain, not the apple - don't let anywhere tell you differently) in the Chicago area (especially the original in Wilmette), but later learned to make it at home.  Actually not that hard, but it never tastes quite the same as the WB version.  You can even get them in Japan though again, they aren't quite the same.  Still great though.

 

Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
½ cup half-and-half (or whole milk - no 2% or skim)

Topping:
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Powdered sugar
Lemon curd

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Divide the butter between two 6-inch or pour into one 12-inch cast-iron skillet and melt it over low heat. (we sued a deeper 12-inch pot for the pancake below but only because our skillets were already being used.  The pot works just fine too).

In a blender, mix the eggs, flour, sugar, salt and half-and-half.

Pour the batter into the skillets over the melted butter. Place immediately in the hot oven  and bake about 20-25 minutes.

Remove the puffed pancakes from the oven, transfer them to a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar, top with lemon juice and serve immediately.

My staple would be Greek yoghurt with a variety of cereals and muesli mixed together with nuts and berries topped with some Manuka honey or peanut butter! I’ll have this setup probably 5 times a week! Essential for my bowel movement as I do not consume enough fibre otherwise hahaha.

Though sometimes when I’m with my folks, we would have more.... ‘traditional’ Asian breakfasts...like fried kuey teow!! Here picture with a pinch of crab meat fried with duck eggs!!

Have to say I enjoy some home made huevos rancheros with Anaheim peppers. Home made tortillas but too much work for ranchero sauce most days.

The biggest trick is butter. Keep the pan below medium high heat for the tortillas/gorditas/pupusas. Keep the heat medium low for the eggs and keep them from browning and turning to sulfur.

 

Much like resting your FOH 24:24, your reward for patience will be immense ?

 

 

 

Edit in some ranchero sauce style:

Every Friday morning, I make breakfast for all my employees and have been doing so for about 3 or 4 years now.

Simple stuff, mostly sausage, egg, tomato scrambles with fresh baked bread and some condiments.

One of my employees likes to take a picture with me every time so I made a collage of some of the pictures.

Basic recipe is:

Cut up sausages thinly

Cook until nicely charred

Put in diced tomatoes after sausages have been charred because if you put before then the sausages won't be charred

After tomatoes have reduced down, add eggs

At this point, you can either scramble the eggs or leave them as they have been cracked on the skillet and make a sort of shakshouka.

Serve with bread and hot sauce and/or pickled jalapenos.

 

You can also switch it up and add bacon or panchetta to the mix.

Nothing gets me ready for the day like a pound of bacon in a styrofoam container.

  I love how dishes splinter across different cultures. If you do this without the sugar, you have a Yorkshire Pudding that in the UK is served a part of a roast beef/pork/lamb dinner with lashings of gravy

My "gotta-have" breakfast when I'm in Malaysia is curry mee with siu yuk and a kopi peng.

[BoliDan]

Colorado/New Mexico style breakfast. Homemade Egg, sausage, potato, onion burrito topped with Green Chile and cheese.

[CampDelta369]

This thread looks like a Iron Chef cook off! I’m actually getting hungry...

I have never been a breakfast guy. I’m with @Fuzz on this one.  It’s usually Black coffee pour over and as of late, a CC. Thanks for all the pics and recipes.

My wife is Filipina, so when her family is over, which is often, we have longganisa sausage with fried eggs and garlic fried rice. Beverage?... coffee.

[CaptainQuintero]

  Got up a little earlier so I could make some soda bread. I still don't think you can beat a better combo than homemade bread and scrambled eggs, I've been making my own butter recently too and don't think I'll ever go back; such a big difference.

  A banana with natural yoghurt and some local honey on the side 

 Tea with a slosh of whisky

Neat topic - I love seeing the variety across the globe.  I'm heading back to keto soon to get back to fighting weight, so splurged and did chocolate chip pancakes for the kids and grabbed a few for myself!  Coffee is an Americano with some cream.

There is a saying: "eat Breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, give dinner to the enemy."
This means that in the morning you need to eat tightly to gain strength. At lunch, full eat are not recomended - will be hard to work. Before night there is harmful. For Breakfast, I stick to that rule. Roasted eggs with liquid yolk, fried sausages, strong double espresso and some water. 10 minutes and my breakfast is ready.

First post here. 

This is some Hawaiian bread French toast from a place called the Omelette & Waffle Shop in San Pedro, California. The sweetness of the Hawaiian bread and the cinnamon they put on top is good enough to where I don’t top it off with syrup most of the time. That and a side of bacon not pictured.

Love this bread....at $9 a loaf must be good. Toasted butter and the right jam. Was going to use the Opus x for the unique cigar thread ..so I threw it in here 

[cigaraholic]

360 days a year it’s oatmeal with fruit ?

Some very cool and interesting breakfast entries so far.  I like it.

As for me and my family, every Saturday used to be "pancake Saturday."  This recipe always comes out fluffy and crisp around the edges.  The trick is to not over mix the batter.  Add some whipped butter, a whole bunch of maple syrup, and a side of bacon, and it's a perfectly rich, sweet, and savory morning experience.  Unfortunately, I had to pick up an extra shift on Saturday mornings b/c 1) growing kids means increasing expenses, and 2) my stinkin' cigar habit.  In the end, it's all worth it.

I never grew up eating pancakes.  My dad made French toast.  But my son seems to like pancakes and I enjoy the care and routine.  I certainly didn’t invent this recipe nor is it a long standing family heirloom.  It’s basically J Kenji Lopez Alt’s recipe.  His book, The Food Lab, is one of my essentials.  I like showing my son how to separate eggs, whip separately, describing the difference between baking soda and baking powder.  Now it’s just a weekend ritual.  

[lovethehaze]

This was my breakfast today after 2 days of booze abuse to thyself !
Helped a lot maybe a good investment ...
