By the time I dragged my butt out of bed this morning, it was ten. By the time I finished shredding cheese and grating potatoes, it was almost eleven. Hmmmm...
I know OF people who eat breakfast. I've even done it myself in my adult life, but it usually involves yogurt and coffee or last night's leftovers... I just don't understand the whole "spend an hour making breakfast" thing. I suppose if you want to do all the prep work the night before or else you have tonnes of time in the morning this makes sense. Right now I'm on holidays, so it happened. But, dear readers, do not imagine for one second this will happen once I'm back to work! Looks like we'll have breakfast for dinner alot until the egg chapter is finished!
I made a French Omelette with cheese, cheese being a "variation" of the original recipe. Alot of the egg recipes have the basic egg dish followed by three or four different things you can add to them. (Scott says that it counts for both the French Omelette recipe as well as the "with cheese" variation... I agree, and this means I don't have to eat a plain omelette).
The omelettes had to be flipped a certain way in order to be "french." (Haha, like kissing!) It meant I could only cook one side, which kind of grossed me out, as I hate "wet" eggs. I solved this by pre-heating the oven and throwing the first omellete in while I made the second, and the second in while I finished the potatoes. The result: Scott's eggs were good, mine were prettier (I got the "flip" better the second time) but runnier, blech!
The potatoes were "Hash Brown Potatoes." Basically, potatoes shredded with onion, salt and pepper and fried in (of course) butter. They were kind of wet on the inside and really good and crispy on the outside. I think I should have cooked them longer on a lower heat, but whatev, it was morning and I hadn't had alot of coffee yet.
All in all, Scott (such a sport) loved everything, I thought it was all a little gross. But I DID find a use for the ginormous bottle of "spicy" ketchup.

When are you going to start posting some pics of all these dishes. I want proof that you are cooking all this stuff!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is an important meal. Important, not royalty! I admire your dedication and determination! I don't have it.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you are right, I should be posting real pics... I promise to try. It's just that I like to serve things hot and I forget to take them, lol!
