Breakfast sandwich. Eggs, ham, steak, and cheese on a poppyseed bun. Honorable mention to the humble breakfast burrito version too
egg soboro right now: crack an egg in a pan, constant stirring, 8 minutes or so at the lowest heat, super fluffy, flavored textured egg curds.
I made this today with fresh eggs from a farm around the corner with fresh garlic and tomatoes from my garden and sprinkled with celery salt and parsley.
sounds great, except I don’t know what celery salt is.
what is that?
oh, literally celery seeds ground up with salt.
I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with it before. I’m going to have to give that a try, that’s definitely a good combination.
Oh is that the term for it? I’ve been calling it “super smooth scrambled eggs” which doesn’t adequately describe the texture. Egg curds is pretty close but it’s almost like a creamed egg. So soft and fluffy, I like to add cream cheese into it while it’s cooking and serve it on toast with melty cheese and a bit of tomato salsa. Yum!

Steel cut oatmeal with maple syrup and almonds and shredded coconut.
A slice of bread with whatever is available to me.
If I have to pick one item, a breakfast taco with chorizo, egg, and cheese.
For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it’s really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I’m feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I’ll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.
For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.
If anyone’s curious, here’s the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):
4 Tbsp nutritional yeast 2 tsp chili powder 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak) 1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour) 1/2 tsp garlic powderDo you press the tofu beforehand, or just out of the package and into the frying pan?
I’ve tried both ways and didn’t really note any differences. If anything, unpressed might’ve had a slightly better texture.
I find for crumbled or smaller pieces of tofu, pressing doesn’t do much. It’s really more for when you have bigger chunks and want to marinate it, in my experience.
Yakisoba with shrimp and napa cabbage.
Pho is also a great breakfast food.
When I’m feeling like punishing my digestive system, biscuits and gravy (homemade only–nobody seems to know how to make is properly anymore).
Fry up some bulk breakfast sausage, make a roux with the grease, add milk? Or do you anything different / have any tips?
You’re mostly there.
Fry up the bulk sausage, making sure you chop it up nicely. Don’t skimp on the sausage. Make a roux with the grease and a bit of flour and milk. Add flour and milk gradually to your desired consistency (I like it fairly thick), but don’t go overboard on the milk or it will become bland and milky. Add fresh cracked black pepper and, importantly, no other seasonings or toppings.
That last part is where every place seems to go wrong these days. Almost everywhere overdoes it by trying to make it something fancy, so they add extra seasonings and things like bacon and green onions and salt. I love bacon and green onions and salt, but they don’t go into gravy. And some places forget the pepper. You need pepper. And of course, most places are very skimpy on the actual sausage, even though it’s cheap.
Anyway, once done, apply liberally to your preferred biscuits. Quick, easy, delicious.
Ah, right, pepper! I agree the pepper is important. I sometimes add some tobasco too (sorry!)
Full English, however as everyone has slight variations or additions:
Sausages, hash brown, fried mushrooms, fried bread, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, fried egg.… And now I’m hungry again.
Take away the beans and I’m right with you 👌
I would, but the band hasn’t figured out that I don’t really know how to play the tuba yet.
That’s not a bad spread. Should probably add that it’s back bacon, and not streaky bacon that the yanks eat.
Yes! Good clarification to make! And the fat parts have to be cooked (too many a time I’ve ordered a breakfast, to get uncooked fat).
Oh man, I have too many favorite breakfasts to choose from…
Simple Eggy toast: crack, an egg in a skillet break the yolk and place bread on top flip when cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and Valentina hot sauce
