zoramargolis Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 inspired by a brunch dish that I had earlier this year when I was in L.A. plus the fact that I had some leftover cooked merguez sausage and spiced tomato sauce in my refrigerator, I made Moroccan baked eggs. Started with red bell pepper, ripe Italian sweet pepper and ripe poblanos, sweated in strips with onion, fennel and garlic, the spiced tomato sauce added and stewed until the veg were tender, then the chopped up merguez added and cooked for a while. The stew was ladled into oven-proof bowls, two eggs cracked into each of the bowls, and baked until the eggs set. sprinkled with chopped cilantro and served with toasted Lyon Bakery paladin. and Peet's cappuccini.

lperry Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 In the spirit of cleaning out the fridge, I went with a "put an egg on it and call it breakfast" approach this morning. Pan-fried wild mushroom risotto cakes topped with poached eggs and criminis in red wine reduction. It turned out quite well, so I'm happy that there's enough for tomorrow's breakfast.

Pat Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Steel cut oatmeal with raisins Scrambled eggs Maple blueberry sausage links The sausages were in the butcher case at Whole Foods and I was intrigued, wondering if they might be as bad as it seemed like they could be . I've always liked maple syrup on breakfast sausages, though, so I decided to give it a try and bought 3 links. I thought the sausage was surprisingly good (especially with a little added maple syrup.) The blueberry component worked really well. My husband ate half of a sausage and hated it. Split decision on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyjoan Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Pumpkin pie and coffee. Sounds excellent. I had cranberry swirl cheesecake and coffee for breakfast on Friday morning. I toiled over the damn thing on Thursday night, and I had to chill it overnight before I could taste it and determine if it was any good, so darn tootin' I was having it for breakfast. Verdict: it needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Blume Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Grapefruit, coffee, handful of almonds Steel-cut oatmeal w apple sautéed in butter, dusted w cinnamon and squirted w lemon, dried cranberries, toasted walnut slivers, maple syrup and milk Tangerine Trader Joe's quick-cooking, steel-cut oatmeal disappoints. Oats simply pulverized more than in longer-cooking grain, so you lose the distinctive chewy texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyjoan Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 This breakfast casserole, with salsa and sour cream. Always a winner (hubby routinely asks for it for his birthday meal) - and it is nice that you can assemble it the day before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.

monavano Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Late to the party but recipe please???? Sorry, just saw this! Basically, you blend the living daylights out of 10-12 eggs, 2-3 cups of shredded cheese of your liking, 1/4 cup flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder and salt/pepper. Pour into a greased pan (I am *loving* Crisco spray) and bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour, until set. I like to add sliced tomatoes and a good handful of Parm to the top after about 30 minutes. I call this my Cape May Egg Casserole because it's served at our favorite BnB there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbogrrl Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 went to the farmers market this morning to get regular eggs because Nick doesn't like the way duck eggs scramble. Got home to discover that he could not find the Hebrew National he wanted at the harris teeter so had decided to not make breakfast. I had given up my sunday sausage at Teaism so was very sad. In a sulk, I started slicing the challah to make cinnamon-sugar toast; Nick decided he would make french toast instead. So, breakfast was french toast and lemon-honey-ginger-mint tea. I see a sunbeam; I think I need a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
