A couple breakfast recipes

[dstig1]

Here are 2 things I like to make on weekends when I have a little time.

Spicy Egg Scrambler
3-4 green onions, chopped fine
~1/2 a jalapeno, chopped fine
~1/2 a serrano, chopped fine
1/4 cup or so of mushrooms, chopped fine (I like portabellas)
1 clove garlic, minced or crushed (I use the chopped stuff in the jar for ease)
Olive oil
Sesame oil
2 eggs, scrambled in a cup, add salt

Put a couple teaspoons or so of olive oil in a small skillet over low heat and start sautéing the onions, jalapeno, serrano and mushrooms for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. When they cook down a bit add the garlic (so it doesn't brown too much as it can get bitter that way). Add a few splashes of Sesame Oil at the same time for flavor and cook a couple minutes more.

When you think it is all ready add the 2 scrambled eggs and incorporate it all together and stir/flip as needed until cooked.

Serve with a generous drizzle of Srichia on top.

I adjust a bit like if the peppers are especially big or small, and sometimes add a pinch or two of ground Reaper or Habanero from the garden to kick it up more.

Here is the other one I call:

Eggs Cubenedicto
(it's a mash-up of eggs Benedict and a Cubano sandwich)

1 english muffin
Ham, canadian bacon, pulled pork - up to you and what you have. Mix and match too, if you like. I've even used roast beef as part of the mix.
Cheese - I like pepper jack and cheddar or swiss, but up to you
Sliced dill pickles
Dijon Mustard
2 eggs, poached, over easy, or sunny side up (runny is best)
Hollandaise sauce (I cheat and get it in a jar in the condiment aisle)
Frank's Red Hot sauce

Toast muffin, butter and slather with Dijon. Put down a generous layer of dill pickles, then put meat on top (2-4 slices), then put the cheese on top of that to cover. I typically use 2-4 slices of cheese, mixing types as noted. Put on sheet/tray and put under broiler or in toaster oven to melt cheese and warm it all up.

While doing that, get the eggs cooking to your preference. Also heat up the hollandaise. I use a small dish in the microwave and heat for 10-20 sec, let it sit a min, stir, nuke another 10-20 sec, repeat until creamy. Takes me 3-5 rounds, typically, which I do while prepping the rest. Time will depend on your microwave, but take it slow or it can burn/seize. On the final nuke cycle I add a few squirts of Frank's Red Hot into the sauce and stir it in for a little kick and flavor. I've tried other, and hotter stuff, but Frank's seems perfect to me for this.

Take the melted English muffin stacks out, put on plate, put eggs on top, then sauce over them. Some coarse fresh ground black pepper on top is nice. Maybe a sprig of parsley or cilantro if you want pizzazz. Knife and fork with serving.

Harder to write than to do. This is just heaven to me but it is rich so I can't do it too often.

Here are 2 things I like to make on weekends when I have a little time.

Spicy Egg Scrambler
3-4 green onions, chopped fine
~1/2 a jalapeno, chopped fine

That would cook nicely on the flat griddle. Might have to try that this coming weekend

 

[WinterDeere]

Here's one of my breakfast favorites:

4 oz. tomato juice
2 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 dash Tobasco
1 lemon wedge
1 shake black pepper
celery stick
2 oz. vodka

Served on the rocks, in a Collins glass.

RobertN - Yes I sometimes do it on the griddle too, especially if I am making for more than just me as I can fill it up with hash browns and bacon and do all that first. Then move on to the eggs.

And I do like a good Bloody on occasion, WinterD. There is a restaurant near us called Milwaukee Burger that makes some great ones. They have a few locations across WI. I use more than a dash of Tabasco. As you can see, I like things spicy...

For a similar kick with a bit of a different twist, you might enjoy making a Southwest Breakfast Burrito. Sauté your favorite veggies like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, then add scrambled eggs and some cooked chorizo or spicy sausage. Wrap everything in a warm tortilla with a sprinkle of cheese and a dollop of salsa or hot sauce for an extra punch. It’s quick, easy, and you can customize it with whatever ingredients you have on hand.

Speaking of breakfast, I stumbled upon a really interesting article about the best breakfast spots in Sacramento. It made me think of how trying out new recipes or visiting different places for breakfast can be such a fun and delicious adventure. If you’re ever in Sacramento or just looking for some breakfast inspiration, you might find some great ideas here. Check it out: The Best Breakfast In Sacramento – MK Library

Well heck I guess I'll get going and make a batch of sausage gravy. Using the Hormel Hot sausage and then fry up an egg.

Correction, Jimmy Dean hot sausage.

Thanks! It is awesome. And thanks for the reminder. I took this shot a couple weeks ago of the other dish I described. I should take a photo after i cut it in half too. Not a food photographer, am I...:
