Care to share your little breakfast concoction?
We’re having breakfast potatoes (peeled/diced potatoes, cut up asparagus, onions, garlic, cilantro, Havarti shredded over top, chili powder, season salt, and salmon seasoning), over easy egg over top (yolk can mix in with the potatoes), organic coffee (freshly ground) and organic half and half. Mutli-grain toast with organic peanut butter and jelly.
Yum-eh!

Cap’n Crunch.actually I eat oatmeal with raisins every morning :)
Leftover sushi because I don’t want it going bad. Otherwise something I drink out of a can for speed. Sometimes smoked salmon with capers.
2 eggs + homefries = sunday bliss
I am expert at ripping the foil cover off of yogurt containers and dripping it on my tie at work.
Iced tea and a tuna sandwich. Hold the mustard.
Mmmm. Breakfast burrito with: scrambled eggs, bell peppers, a very small amount of habanero, onions, spinach, garlic, cayenne, shredded pepperjack cheese and a healthy serving of Frank’s red hot. And coffee, of course.
I might have to go make one right now.
Saturday Morning Fried Death Egg Sandwich: Fry an egg, put on bread, top with pepperjack cheese and a healthy dollop of Pace hot salsa. Salt and pepper to taste.
Fresh eggs from my little red hen, over easy with fruit and toast and jelly! My weekend indulgence!
I make some pretty mean hash browns with onion and peppers cut up in them. Scrambled eggs and white toast with strawberry jelly. Too bad I didn’t have that this morning. I had a Luna bar and a jug of water.
If I can get to Russ & Daughters on Houston Street in Manhattan, breakfast on Sunday is bagels and bialys with Nova Scotia smoked salmon, smoked whitefish, smoked sturgeon, cream cheese, onions and fresh tomato, with herring in mustard sauce on the side.
@knitfroggy Ooooh…hash browns with onions & peppers!
My heart be still…I havn’t had hashbrowns in centuries..( thinking, thinking…maybe I will go out to breakfast! )
Aaaaah and Eggs Benedict!
You people are evil! lololol
A nice fresh cup of coffee.
Ok, and pancake with fresh strawberries and banana slices and warm syrup on top with a touch of whip cream.
As a treat with my allergy-prone SO: Vegan waffles with beef bacon. Take regular waffle recipe and sub in vanilla soymilk and Ener-G egg replacer. If I work up enough energy, I’ll be making them for brunch today.
My personal go-to breakfast lately is green eggs and ham sausage (scrambled eggs, salsa verde, mexican shredded cheese, and morningstar sausage chopped up in a low-carb tortilla).
@jjmah Will you and your lady come show me how it’s done?
My Sunday morning breakfast specialty is a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch on the couch and watching House Hunters. Blah.
I make some great biscuits and gravy that I learned while I lived in MS. Up until then I had heard the expression but thought it would be gross. I changed the recipe by substituting cream for milk. I add cajun spice to the sausage in addition to pepper. My kids beg for it, but I don’t make it very often. It’s a real treat.
I also make homemade waffles sometimes and we use partially frozen strawberries, the juice, and powdered sugar on top. Mmmmm.
Mmmmm @Trillian I have the makings for biscuits and gravy in the refrigerator.
I usually have dim-sum. Lo mai gai, some rice noodle rolls with beef, chicken feet, some spring rolls and tea (can’t have dim-sum without tea)
@dpworkin Do you want me to come over and cook, or call you and walk you through it? ;-)
Oh, no thank you, I know just what to do!
@Mike_Hunt I also happen to have some nice sticky rice with scallions and Lap Cheong in my rice cooker this morning!
@Mike_Hunt @dpworkin I don’t know what dim sum is but when I lived in Guam I learned to eat a scoop of white rice clumped together with a sunny side up fried egg over it. You poke the egg and the yolk goes down into the rice and it tastes amazingly good.
Dim Sum loosely translates as “Your heart’s delight” and it is a broad spectrum of small, appetizer-size portions of delicious foods, served from carts, which you choose from by pointing. When you are finished eating your empty plates are counted to compute your bill.
There are such things as pork buns, dumplings, turnip cakes, chicken feet, sticky rice, leaf-wrapped pork and chicken, little custard tarts, and on and on.
We had friends over for breakfast and served fruit salad, then waffles and bacon. I am well and truly stuffed.
@dpworkin Btw, I apologize for assuming that you don’t know how to cook. Doh!
I enjoyed the best breakfast buffet at a hotel in Hualien Taiwan last month.
Fresh Starfruit, Guava, all sorts of asian fare, dumplings, and a huge pan of french fries! lololol
I miss the egg foo young from a little place across the alley from my apartment…the best ever!
Omlet on top of massive amounts of fresh veggies and a great sauce.
Everything is so fresh, no preservatives at all…goes bad in less than two days because it is all so fresh! ( daydreaming….. sigh ) lol
@Trillian I know how to cook too, but you can come to my house and cook biscuits with gravy for me any time.
@kheredia… that sounds even smuttier than plain ol’ huevos.
Muesli, semi-skimmed milk and either blueberries, strawberries or bananas depending on the season.
Hmm… the tuna thing is for weekends, mainly.
On weekdays I have a big tumbler full of V8 at home, and when I get to work I have a good-sized chunk of extra-sharp cheddar followed by a Granny Smith apple. Somehow that seems to work.
My breakfast quiche is gooooooood.
@partyparty Not everyday, but it is my weekend specialty.
coffee, and i make my own sausage mcmuffin.
1. One package of plain Quaker Oatmeal
2. ⅔ cup of water
3. Microwave for 70 seconds
4. Add (3) packets of Splenda (I’m a diabetic)
5. One teaspoon Cinnamon spice
Voila! The world’s most boring breakfast! It totally sucks having diabetes
A ham, cheese and broccoli quiche served with blueberry pancakes or waffles.
@janbb Yaaayyyy! I love to cook. We’ll have coffee too, right?
<Gasp> @Trillian Isn’t that cannibalism for you!?
My chickens had leftover peach cobbler for breakfast the other day…happy chicks! lol
@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities Cannibal schmannibal. Not if I sip and hold out my pinky. I have a very extended family with beans all over the world. I can’t possibly be related to them all, can I?
I make apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, mozarella scrambled eggs. Brown some thinly sliced apple, sprinkle a little brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Beat the eggs with some shredded mozarella, pour them into the pan and cook to deliciousness.
I specialize in eating anything someone else makes for me… as long as there are no onions in it. You’re all welcome to visit my kitchen whenever you’d like.
@janbb no, not burritos, I guess. Any decent burrito has a minimum of one-half of a medium onion.
@jjmah You know me so well. I love anything with honey, honey.
@janbb Burritos are delicious. Breakfast burritos are also delicious. And @CyanoticWasp, you can make a good burrito without onions. It’s especially easy if you don’t like onions. =)
Five days a week I usually exercise for about an hour. So I have coffee and (omg its so good) peaches in peaches oatmeal.. with brown sugar on top. DELICIOUS!
But on the weekends I splurge and have stuff like waffles :P
@meagan: Amazing how many people can’t bother to exercise.
I’m very old school when it comes to breakfast. My real talent is frying absolutely perfect sunny side up eggs, and no broken yolks, not ever (well, maybe a rare failure, but not often). A lot of people don’t like sunny side up eggs, but believe me, the is an art to it, an art to getting them just right.
Not true. Why I poached me a hare just last night, Lady Chatterley.
@lillycoyote I fry my sunny side up eggs perfect every time too. Mydad taught me years ago by basting the tops in butter, but I steam them with a lid now. Way less calories that way.
@Trillian My father taught me how to make them too, but alas, I still do the butter thing, or better yet, basting them in bacon fat! Yum yum yum. I just can’t help myself.
My specialty is having a wife who is a great cook and who loves to treat me. My favorite is her orange-scented french toast made with sourdough bread, topped with fresh berries and marmalade.
Blueberry pancakes, sometimes with pecans or walnuts. Yum. (from scratch, of course)
Bloody Marys (Tall glass, four vodka shots, generous twist of pepper, worcester sauce, tabasco sauce, salt- fill glass with ice, top up with tomato juice and garnish with pepper), Melba toast, poached eggs.

Oh, and easy way of getting your sunny side up fried eggs to not be raw on top or hard.
Fry them as normal, quite hot so you get the crispy edges, then whack a lid over them for the last 50 odd seconds. Perfect eggs. Duh.
xx
@EdMayhew Sorry, I’m a purist. I would never even consider putting a lid on the frying pan in order to cook sunny side up eggs. You risk taking the “sunny” out of them, and, well, I would just never do it. It’s just not right.
I make French Toasted grilled cheese sandwiches.
Make the French Toast with one side less cooked than the other.
The less cooked side goes on the inside with real swiss cheese in the middle (not swiss flavoured processed “cheese”).
Serve with real real maple syrup if you can.
@lillycoyote It’s better than rubber bottomed eggs, and it’s never harmed my sunny side, but each to their own!
xx
@EdMayhew eggs, particularly sunny side up eggs, are a very personal thing. You want them your way, I want them my way, basted with butter or bacon fat, hold the lid. But, just so you know, if you are ever at my house for breakfast, I will make your eggs any way you want them, however you want them, and if you don’t trust anyone else to make your eggs, you can have full reign of my kitchen. We aim to please here. :)
Scrambled eggs with a bit of chopped smoked salmon stirred in, and served on granary toast. yummeh but the salmon is expensive, so its not something I do very often.
@meagan: No one who spends 1 hour per week watching TV or on Fluther could say that they are too busy to exercise. I know people are busy and that is a good excuse why you didn’t get to something unimportant but I am not sure how good an excuse it is for not getting to something as important as exercise.
Maybe we could Fluther and work-out at the same time? How about voice-activated Fluther, guys?
I’m thinking of hiring an illegal alien to work out for me.
@meagan: Ahh… the real reason to go to the gym.
@CyanoticWasp: “I’m thinking of hiring an illegal alien to work out for me.” <== Alas, female Swedish illegal aliens are hard to come by.
I have wondered how the electronic muscle exercisers work. I have never tried one but it would seem the next best thing to someone else working out for you.
@lillycoyote Don’t worry, if I’m ever at yours for breakfast I’ll take them as they come and be grateful!
