A simple and elegant breakfast very easy to make

TheHobbyist · Dec 12, 2018

Funny thing is this breakfast came from my Dad's side. He is Norweigan. Salmon, fish of any kind, pickled herring, lefse with butter (some add cinnamon, but we never did in our family). My mom's side is Czech with Jewish ancestry, but on my Dad's side they would fish all the time to make ends meet years ago, along with farming and hunting, and about any way you can cook a fish...yep, I've had it. And like it too.

This is an old thread but I thought about it the other day, because I made the OP breakfast and haven't had it for a while. Just been too busy for breakfast during the week and weekends we either go out or have lately been having health foods--fruits, granola, that kind of healthy stuff...unfortunately.

The topic of food comes up here quite often. Something I make that is not so common on Saturday or Sunday mornings:

-Everything bagel
-Cream cheese, liberally applied
-Add smoked salmon
-Add capers or fresh cut red onions

That's it. Enjoy!

When are you serving?

Allow me to express my condolences.

I went traditional this morning: scrambled eggs, sausage patty and toast, with a cup of coffee. I was going to bake some biscuits, but I needed to use up some bread that was bought before the snow storm.

A trip to "CRACKER BARREL" is in order on mornings neither of us feel like cooking...

This is weird, I had the same thing, except I had cheese toast and some home made fig preserves.

Have a blessed day,

One of my favorites but you have to have Mexican oregano growing (grows like a weed): Thin sliced spam well fried (bacon works but not as well), Thin bread rounds and cheddar cheese, preferably sharp, a bunch of the fresh Mexican oregano leaves, and an egg.

Put cheese on both halves of the bread and melt/toast in toaster oven.
Put two slices of the fired spam on one of the bread slices with the cheese and melt it into the cheese and toast it up a bit.
Fry egg, breaking and spreading the yoke around some so the yoke is more evenly distributed.
Put egg on the side that has the spam.
Load it up with the fresh Mexican oregano leaves.
Close the sandwich up and enjoy.

A couple of years ago we went to CB for lunch, and one of the folks that invited us ordered the "Uncle Hershel" breakfast. The next day I had a medical procedure done and couldn't have anything to eat or drink prior.

When I was recovering all I could think of was a Cracker Barrel Uncle Hershel. I had the wife drive me there afterwards and ordered it. I ate the whole thing and drank 3 cups of coffee.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Here in the South, it's 2 fried eggs over-easy, bacon, grits and butter all stirred together, topped off with black pepper and hot sauce. About 3 big, buttered biscuits with Apple Butter and a strong cup of black coffee. Make you want to slap yo Mama!

I like hard boiled eggs for breakfast but they're kinda bland by themselves. I spruce up the taste by taking around a dozen pitted black olives chopped up and mixed in with the chopped up eggs. Nothing could be simpler and it adds a far more interesting taste to the eggs. A crusty bread slice or Rye toast completes the picture

Nah John , down South there's only one breakfast , sausage gravy over biscuits , with some eggs . Can't forget the grits . Of course I have nothing against a good bagel , just hard as hell to find in the South .

Back in my misspent youth it was, quite often, a beer and a candy bar.

Middle age was whatever the wife decided to fix.

Now I usually ship breakfast and eat lunch at 1030 or 11ish.

If I eat carbs for breakfast I want to kill an moose and eat it at 10 AM. Two fried eggs at 6 will last me until 2 PM if I need it to.

What is this breakfast that you talk of???

I'm retired and my stomach tells when to eat and pretty much what it wants.Yesterday at 09:30 am I had a baked potato drowning in butter and sour cream.I haven't had what you all consider breakfast in almost 45yrs.

Well, for me breakfast is whatever I eat in the morning. Usually what normal people would call two servings of broccoli, reheated in the microwave, served all'agro; in the last few years a reasonable serving of salmon; and two 16oz cups of coffee (The Gorilla would not want me to tell you how I like my coffee, but it's worse than you think). Usually sardines or other fish if I don't have salmon.

Often have only one more meal. Usually have a couple of drinks during the day, or later.

I was getting hungry until I got to the anchovies. They could gag a maggot.

Rustyt1953 · Dec 12, 2018

I come from a country where french fries, baked beans and blood pudding are breakfast staples.

There are no rules.

Mmm anchovies,saltines,some good,strong cheese and a Guiness.
Ok maybe not for breakfast,but makes for a nice midday snack ;-)

Spending time with my grandparents on their farm outside Chillicothe, Texas was some of the best breakfast meals I can ever recall.

Eggs fried in bacon grease, thick sliced bacon or ham steak, shredded hash brown potatoes, huge buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy, fresh churned butter, jelly for me, my grandfather was partial to sorghum molasses.

Perhaps not elegant, but it did create elegant memories.

I also like your combination, but with eggs over easy. It’s a favorite when visiting Israel.

Waffles..............................!!

with anything.

Strawberry's and cool whip is good, according to my wife.

French toast is not bad either, for a quick meal.
