[Closed] breakfast treats........whats yours?

Why do you freeze your eggs?
Smoked haddock en papillote with a poached egg is my go to breakfast treat.

Well it’s Friday, hardly anyone’s here at work so it’s time for a sausage sandwich and a pint of coffee.

Same as most fridays then 8)

Jesus Christ!! That is an impressive treat - I am jealous!

I was thinking of perhaps some chopped up apricots & some raisins sprinkled on porridge with a blob of honey 😆

I do love a fry-up that you haven't had to prepare yourself....and really nice scrambled eggs, when they're still a little bit sloppy.

Mine today was bacon, eggs, mushrooms and tomatos. I'm trying to cut back on the bready carbs, so had 1 small slice of toast to clean up. Normally i'm a many many carbs kind of guy and i think it's hindering my ability to drop weight.

So not only was it less carbs... but bacon and eggs is GOOOOOOD !

Most exciting it gets here is putting a bit of leftover dried fruit from Christmas cake baking in the porridge.

Though spare smoked salmon also got turned into eggs royale but that was for lunch.

Scrambled egg & salmon: but the salmon has to be mixed in with the egg just prior to serving, it increases the flavour and I cant be doing with warm egg & cold salmon.

sausages atop my beans on toast drizzled in Blue dragon sweet chilli sauce mmmmmmmm.

Toasted Teacakes with Bacon.

My only experience of defrosted steak is my parent's storing it for way too long and it being covered in freezer-burn and tasting grim when defrosted

with bacon

A treat for me is to have it alone - i.e. without a 5 yr old causing mayhem in the area

I just had a post commute mocha and a doughnut. Yum.

I once had a summer job whilst at college as a sweeper-upper in a carbon block factory (v. glamorous). It was an early start in the morning then after about an hour the entire workforce de-camped to the canteen for massive fry-ups. It always seemed especially welcome after doing a bit of work anticipating breakfast.

Can't beat steak, lobster and eggs though. I may have to try ton's diet regime.

Not having it at my desk while spewing crumbs all over my computer 😆

I just had home made bread; set the dough off last night, quick bit of kneading, bung it in the oven, wait 30 minutes and then lots of butter!

But black pudding and poached eggs above is also a very good combination.

And there I am happy with a Croissant, Butter and Apricot Jam!

Today it was a tuna and extra-mature cheddar toastie.

Yesterday was beans on toast with leftover pulled pork mixed in with the beans.

Treat is Eggs Benedict without the ham, which is not half as exciting as the OPs.

I love a bit of black pudding with a fresh, poached egg.

Being slightly older than a millennial, I still enjoy a bit of avocado & poached egg on toast, but I mix my avocado with a dollop of mayo and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

All of the above to be served on sourdough with a half tonne of butter.

Sounds lush ton, I couldn't stomach it at breakfast, but I guess needs must.

Wheaten bread, butter and scrambled eggs here.

(380 kcals - info none of you need, but it's day 1 of fat club, so I'm obsessed)

I've had two poached eggs, mushrooms and baked beans for breakfast every day this week so far, actually not Monday!

Loving it, trying desperately hard to not eat hash browns, bacon and sausages, it's damn hard

Normal breakfast - Porridge with some blueberries and honey.
Weekend breakfast - Bacon and eggs with some sourdough.
Treat breakfast - Pancakes, crispy bacon, maple syrup.

Sadly, it's been a fairly normal porridge type week this week.

A breakfast treat I really used to enjoy was cold leftover take away chicken curry - I always used to make a point of leaving some for the next morning. I don't do takeaways much these days

Quiet coffee (no kids and certainly no wife around) followed by a collosal, undisturbed crap. A one-wiper.

Then a sausage and egg McMuffin.

Eggs Royale is my "treat yourself" breakfast.

This morning was two Quorn sausages, two fried eggs, a load of fried mushrooms and half a large tin of baked beans. The beans were Heinz reduced salt and sugar which really does reduce the taste. I'm swapping back to proper ones.

A great big pyramid of profiteroles.
I only get this for my birthday breakfast though.

1 Tesco Finest Pan Au Choclate
1 Tesco all butter croissant (find PaCs too much)

Friday: bacon, sausage, black pud, hash brown, fried slice, beans, mushrooms £3.70
normally: porridge pot + nana/proper porridge,honey and nana

Did someone say smashed avocado on sour dough bread?

I think them millennials are onto something......

BJ before or after breakfast, not fussed.

"Smashed" avocado? Is that like mashed but not properly?

*wanders off, muttering "yoof of today"*

"Smashed" avocado? Is that like mashed but [s]not properly[/s] only £20?

Mashed is so 1980s...

Avocado laced with Vodka innit?

Not the most glamorous suggestion by any means, but extremely tasty - French toast with big mental thick slices of brioche loaf, add a healthy(?) Amount of sugar to the egg mix & fry in a similarly (un)healthy amount of butter until it starts to caramelize - goes well with added bacon / maple syrup / fruit compote (OK, jam) / nutella or all of the above - if no fancy bakery nearby, aldi/lidl usually have a brioche loaf for 1.50

You're welcome 😉

steak, poached egg, spinach. gallon of coffee

breakfast treats........whats yours?

You can treat me to basic bacon butty tomorrow. 😆

Eggs Benedict for me too.
For years whenever my wife asked want I want for breakfast I always said Eggs Benedict and got a hollow laugh in response, then one birthday she actually made it. With a cup of strong coffee it's perfection.

Bourbon

The beans were Heinz reduced salt and sugar which really does reduce the taste. I'm swapping back to proper ones.

I agree, a good squirt of tommy k mixed in before heating and they taste like normal.

Eggs Benedict for me though, preferably in the pig and pastry on Bishy Road in York. Unfortunately it's an hour's train journey away.

Cold chicken jalfrezi with mushroom pilau & saag paneer 🙂

Weekdays: coffee or pancakes with bacon and maple syrup.
Weekends: corned beef hash with three strips of bacon and a poached egg on top.

On buttered toast I hope?

Spag Bol, curry, all fair game for brekkie. (on toast)

What egg mix?

Sorry just seen this - dip the brioche slices into a beaten egg (or two, 3+ slices will need more) with a splash of milk to make it less eggy if required, with some sugar mixed in (cinnamon works well in here too). Fry in butter & you're golden

Wetherspoons eggs benedict. I know, but best I’ve found around here.

[Heathen]double sausage and egg mcmuffin and two hash browns[heretic]

Those sausage patties are sooooo nice.

If its a mackies the bagels are way better you get scrambled "egg" rather than the weird dried out disk of egg

Trifle leftover from the night before. Bliss.

Good call on the bagel egg. Though I do find the bagels have a density of approx 12.4g/cm3!

It used to be my Mum's proper Stoke-on-Trent oatcakes filled with bacon, melted cheddar and a choice of fried mushroom, tinned tomatoes, eggs etc ...

Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near Stoke anymore and you just can't get proper oatcakes anywhere outside Staffordshire.

Can't beat an eggs stornaway. Which is eggs Benedict with black pudding

Olddog, [url= http://www.staffordshireoatcakes.com/ ]Staffordshire oatcakes by post[/url] (they freeze well, so stock up).

Angels on horseback.
Basically a scallop wrapped in a piece of the thinnest bacon you can buy and grilled (or BBQ'd in the summer). 4 is enough, but I find them so more-ish that 6 would not be an issue. You can go all fancy pants with avocado on fresh toasted sourdough or rye bread etc, but I'm happy with just the scallops and bacon.

Alternatively, avocado on toast, with a poached egg, some overcooked (re crispy) bacon sprinkled on top and some wilted/blanched spinach to garnish.
