I had fried eggs from my parents chickens. Happy eggs = tasty eggs. Sourdough toast, really butter, salt and pepper. Delicious!

The breakfast in a jar just reminds me of the grim breakfast in a can lidl and aldi did. I couldn't bring myself to pay whatever cent the can, definitely not the euros for that jar.

Anyway, my breakfast was toasted bagels with cream cheese and smoked rashers

Whispered · 12-08-2017 08:00AM

I had a terrible sleep and woke up wanting all the tasty things. So I melted a few reisin sweets with peanut butter and had them on toast with banana and a massive coffee. Feeling better now!

Camping with the gang, wife, kids, and kcc dog, in red cross areir. We only brought jaffa cakes and marshmallows with us, so breakfast today was banana and nutella crepes. Amazing.

Bowl of Alpen (the naughty red one), slice of multi seed toast with marmalade, a plum and pretentious coffee, brewed from the espresso pot.

Kinda more brunch to be fair but this should shut the hangover up.

Coupled it with a nice cup of coffee.

Homemade brown bread with lashings of butter and jam and a pot of tea.

I heard turmeric in porridge is meant to be good for you. Tried it out this morning. It's not a curry, less next time.

northgirl · 01-09-2017 07:44PM

American style pancakes with crispy bacon & maple syrup. They were pretty delish

yummymummyjay · 02-09-2017 08:08AM

Tesco honey & spelt loaf, made french toast with it, crispy streaky bacon, maple syrup! Yum

Left to our own devices this weekend as the wife has jetted off stateside with work, so this is what was ordered in the kitchen this morning.

Poached eggs.
Sauteed mushrooms.
Hickory smoked bacon.
Baked beans.
Hash browns.
Lightly toasted bagels.

Out of shot is a big mug of mocha.

Quare stuff.

McMurphy · 02-10-2017 08:22AM

Bagel, topped with chilli, topped with a poached egg.

Great combination.

Ardennes1944 · 02-10-2017 08:39AM

The same as most mornings, porridge with chocolate beef protein

Poached eggs. I might be getting the hang of these. I broke each egg into a glass and lowered it into the water, letting some water into the glass to start cooking the outside of the egg before I let it slide into the saucepan. Not perfect, but the best ones I've done so far.

I normally use the swirled water method myself (I cook poached eggs quite a lot mind you) lowering the egg in from a little bowl I have for dips/hummus and the likes. I get next to near perfect eggs most of the time.

Quick cheating tip though.

If you want pretty much flawless poached eggs every time, try this method.

Get some cling film and push it down into a small bowl, break your egg into the clingfilm, and give it a few turns twisting the top so as you can tie it into a knot.

Place in your water for a few minutes, and you should get a prefect poached egg every time.

Problem with the swirling water is that you can only do one egg at a time.

Poppyseed bagel with black and white pudding and a fried egg. Nom.

Dizzyblonde · 29-10-2017 11:18PM

Sausages, white pudding, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, potato cubes and fried eggs. I used the Airfryer for the cubes and sausages, it makes a big breakfast so much easier to prepare.

Spanish Eyes · 29-10-2017 11:46PM

Re the poached eggs and the best way. Well I was in a friend's house recently and he just put the eggs in the shell into the bubbling water for a minute.

Took them out and cracked them into the swirling water. Voila. Perfect poachies. And no runny bits of white stuff either. Half and half lol.

But I may have been tired and emotional at the time! Still they were perfect to me anyway.

conor_ie · 30-10-2017 12:00AM

I had a sausage and fried onion sandwich and a cornish pastie on my way home from work this morning because I was too lazy to cook!

30-10-2017 01:31PM

I had a jambon and a coffee while walking on Dollymount strand while the sun came up

northgirl · 30-10-2017 07:14PM

A smoothie and 2 pain au raisin

dudara · 30-10-2017 07:17PM

A homemade pan-fried grilled cheese sandwich using sourdough bread with a mix of vintage cheddar and Gruyère cheese...and a big mug of Barry's tea.

Tree · 30-10-2017 07:25PM

Home made white bread, toasted, lots of butter, cut into squares. Topped with two scrambled eggs.

30-10-2017 09:16PM

French toast made with sourdough, with vanilla and cinnamon whisked into the egg first and fried in butter. Served with maple syrup and crispy bacon. Had a second round too :-)
Ate so much I haven't been hungry since. Mmmh.

Gremlinertia · 30-10-2017 09:35PM

Two apple pastries and a pint of tea. Happy monday my hoop!.

Psychologeeee · 30-10-2017 09:39PM

Re the poached eggs, Nigella on BBC has just done something I've never seen before! She cracked the egg into a tea strainer (I suppose any sieve would do), so that the more watery, stringy egg white drains off.

That's interesting, must look it up..

Dizzyblonde · 31-10-2017 12:22AM

I saw someone do that recently on a Youtube video, she used one of those big slotted spoons with all the little holes in them. A tea strainer would be much more practical.
