Six Days of Breakfast
What I’ve Been Making Lately
What I’ve Been Making Lately
I thought another rundown of my weekly breakfast/brunch/lunch dishes would be fun, and I like to format these by sharing a combo of more detailed recipes and no-recipe recipes, as they’re dubbed. This means that on some, the focus is more on the order of events and can come together however you like (you can make your eggs differently, add other greens, work with the sauces you’ve got, use other kinds of vinegar in quick-pickled onions, etc.), and some have dressing/sauce details or other more specific instructions. I like to share these to provide some ideas that’ll get you out of a breakfast rut, think about adding several colorful elements to your plate and inspire you to try something new!
Jammy eggs, cilantro microgreens, Calabrian chilIS + Oil, pan-seared ham + A shower of pecorino
Whatever leftover meat I might have from the night before often makes an appearance in my breakfast: most often it’s steak or short ribs, but this holiday season I was very delighted to have made a ham and subsequently be blessed with its leftovers for many days to come. Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to a cast iron over medium-high heat and once very hot, 5-6 mins, add some thinly sliced ham or any other leftover you’ve got. Flip after a minute, and continue flipping every minute until both sides are perfectly browned. (You could, of course, forgo the oil and make a strip or two of bacon here.) I’m a seven-minute egg girl through and through: set a large pot of water over high heat, once boiling, carefully lower 2 eggs in with a slotted spoon. Set your timer for 7 mins and make an ice bath. Remove the eggs, add them to their bath, and let them sit 4-5 minutes. They’ll be super easy to peel. To a plate, add your eggs, some microgreens (followed by a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of champagne vinegar or lemon juice, and some flaky salt), your ham/steak/etc., some Calabrian chilis + a drizzle of the chili oil they came in, and a shower of pecorino or parmesan.
(Leftover) mashed potatoes fried in olive oil with a fried egg, JALAPEÑO sauce & dill
Any leftover potato will do: fry in oil in a ripping hot pan and accompany with an egg fried in the same pan for minimal effort, and top with herbs and your favorite hot sauce.
