This morning I was lucky enough to find some left over chorizo in the fridge and decided to make one of my favourite breakfast. Poached eggs and things on toast.
You can adapt it to the flavours and ingredients you prefer but for my this was my combination for today:
- Grilled toast with hommous
- Pan fried chorizo, then chop it into pieces
- Pan fried sliced mushrooms (cooked in the chorizo fat)
- Pan fried cherry tomatoes, halved, cooked in the same pan after the mushrooms
- Poached egg, just bring some water to the boil in a saucepan, then reduce to a simmer, add a dash of vinegar and then gently crack the egg in, it should only take a few minutes
- Rocket
- Shaved parmesan
I placed the mushrooms onto the toast, then the rocket, the egg sits on top, then scatter the chorizo and tomatoes over the top. Then sprinkle with shaved parmesan.
It's quick and super delicious and a great way to use random ingredients for a hearty breakfast. I sometimes like to drizzle over some Tabasco sauce too- for an extra punch of heat!
Enjoy.
On a beautiful sunny
day on the Eyre Peninsula, what could possibly top it off? Perhaps
taking a boat ride out to the National Park in Coffin Bay and pulling up
at a secluded beach and having a BBQ breakfast. Seriously, what could
be better?
When I think about Australia day, I immediately think about relaxing and food (and for those who are lucky enough- the beach!!) For breakfast this morning we made grilled Haloumi Breakfast Burgers with some left over condiments and rolls from a dinner party.
You will need:
Bread rolls
Haloumi, cut to fit in a bread roll
Eggs, soft boiled or fried- however you prefer
Baby spinach
Caramelised onion
condiments:
Tomato relish
Aioli
Trick to the easiest, fail proof and mess free soft boiled eggs
- in a saucepan, boil some water
- if you can prick the base of the egg to stop it cracking but this is not critical
- add the eggs, gently swirling the water so that the yolk stays in the centre
- put a timer on for 6 mins
- when timer is up, place the eggs in cold water to stop the cooking process
- when cooled slightly, peel and serve
To sleep in on the weekend is definately a treat but to top it off why not extend that to a delicious brunch as well. My girlfriend was utterly amazing this weekend and i was spoilt rotten for both Saturday and Sunday with a bacon and egg sandwich. This sandwich is slightly pimped out but never forget that it's the simple things that are the best.
You will need:
2 Slices of toast, one with basil pesto dip
1 Poached egg
Bacon
Tomato sauce
It is super easy and from the pictures i'm sure you can guess that is tastes amazing.
