What's for Breakfast?

Brandon_34695

Outtake on the happening "What's for Dinner" thread for another awesome meal. Where did you start today?

Dim sum? Croque Madame?

Starting with my first batch of ChefSteps macaroons. My friend had a great idea to substitute freeze dried raspberry powder for color. We used black currant jam and the CS ganache for fillings.

Pairing with 2008 Da Hong Pao (Chinese Oolong). http://teaurchin.com/aged-da-hong-pao-2008.html

The chocolate also goes well with Matcha.

Just Eggs, red Pepper and

herb cream cheese and a nice hot Ethiopian highland brew.

Your macaroons look tasty!

I am not much of a breakfast person, mostly I just got for a slice of toast with marmite and/or a coffee. Actually, multiple coffees most of the time.

When I am back in England though I devour a good full English a few times.

Actually, story regarding that. Last time I was back I had reservations for The Fat Duck, me and my friend were out at our old local the night before and getting rather pissed up, and trying to work out our plans for the next day as we were a couple of hours away. Somehow we got it into our head the best thing to do was to go for a late breakfast at a greasy spoon called The Copper Kettle, now The Copper Kettle is basically a small shed on the side of a busy road that seats about ten people, serves only the odd bacon sandwich and these huge full English breakfasts that cost about £5, for which you get two sausages, two fried eggs, three slices of bacon, two pieces of fried bread, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pudding. It's absolutely awesome and wonderful and disgusting.

Our logic, which is something that basically only the drunken mind can come up with, was that the ideal breakfast/lunch before an evening reservation at The Fat Duck was a meal that was the complete opposite in every way (except deliciousness!). Sure enough my friend rings me/wakes me the next morning wanting to go for this breakfast. So we paid £6 for a Full English with cup of tea in a dirty shed on the side of a busy road, followed by a £400 fourteen course meal plus wine at The Fat Duck. In it's own way I think it was a rather ingenious solution to an issue I suspect many people have had, which is what to eat before you go for a meal like that.

After The Fat Duck we ended up lying in a bed in our cheap hotel drinking beer and watching snooker highlights on TV until the early hours. What a great day.

Starting

the day with a good breakfast is rather important not only for me, leaving the

house without make me social incompatible until I have a “bite”.

Brandon_34695

Warm baguette with a pot of ChefSteps cocoa ganache, Benton's bacon, quiche.

seijoed

Vacuum chamber french toast, maple and cinnamon.

Brandon_34695

Anyone tried this stuff? http://mikuni.myshopify.com/products/tonic-01-tuthilltown-bourbon-barrel-matured-maple-syrup

I got to wondering if we can make something similar with the burnt oak pressure infusion.

@Johan - How do you prepare your vacuum chamber french toast?

seijoed

@Tucker, egg, cream cinnamon, maple and salt, sugar, whisk and then put the bread in the bowl with the custard,

let it sit and flip a few times, then I usually do 2 pulls at around 50 seconds so that the curd cooks into the bread.

Brunch really, but tasty!

Maple glazed 24h pork belly, finished with some maldon.

Sriracha toast, cabbage, yogurt and Sriracha sauce, sesame

and rice vinegar pickled peppers.

@Johan_Edstrom ,Looks hearty,,,. sure would make you see the morning light.

After three hours sleep prepping for Turkey Day - Aleve, coffee and a prep list, a breakfast of champions.

Brendan_Lee_56950

This has become a day after Thanksgiving tradition after my roommate in grad school whipped some up as a drunk snack.

Thanksgiving pancakes: Finely diced turkey, honey glazed ham, combined with 3 eggs, leftover mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, and a bit of flour to tighten it up. Fried in bacon grease and then sauced with a puree of the leftover corn pudding mixed with some grated cheddar, tabasco, and worchestershire. Grab a cup of coffee and commence the hangover cure.

Jack_Mayer_85396

Dang, that looks good @Brendan!

Brandon_34695

Disappeared too fast for the camera. ChefStep's biscuits, hollandaise, poached eggs. Got it all done in just over 60 minutes, the writing here is a winner.

Matt_67991

@Brandon those biscuits are a winner. I can't seem to get the tops to brown in my non-convecting oven, but they're still great.

Brendan_Lee_56950

Feeling lazy. Leftover pressure cooked carnitas smothered in gochujang and crisped up in a pan with some toast and 5m10s eggs.

Brandon_34695

Basic scramble, tartine with Spanish chorizo, goat cheese.

Brandon_34695

Getting closer.

Brendan_Lee_56950

I'm not usually big on breakfast but I did do some soft scrambled eggs with mushrooms, shallots, and parmigiano today.

seijoed

Some bacon, shrooms grown in the basement and a quick omelet.

Jack_Mayer_85396

@Johan & @Brendan, y'all amaze me ... Have you tried the scrambled eggs done SV? I am itching to play more with my chamber sealer!

Brendan_Lee_56950

I'm the only one in the house that eats eggs so I typically do it on the stove to give me something to do.

This morning, coffee and caneles. Made a double batch of batter last night and cooked some up for the kids. Reserved the rest to bake this morning. These are great, and so incredibly easy. Better than a donut. (Disclaimer: I haven't made the chefsteps donuts) (Double disclaimer: donuts are generally overated, and most of them are terrible) (Disclaimer to the double disclaimer: There are exceptions to the donuts are terrible rule, but not many.)

I love the sound when the you first crack the outer crust to expose the interior. It's like a pavlovian signal for deliciousness.

John_Erik_522

This is not from today, but was a great breakfast/brunch. ChefSteps baked beans on toast, a slice of bacon and a 75c egg on top.

budweiser, eh I mean fruit loops

Enjoyed 3 chorizo breakfast tacos this morning. Flower tortilla with some scrambled eggs, chorizo, jalapeño slices topped with cilantro and some Sriracha. No special technique or presentation just a good walk up call to the palate in the morning.
