Eggy in a Basket

I don’t want to bore you with a long story about how I got into this fantastic breakfast, but there is in fact a story. So I’ll keep it short, and sweet.

I saw V for Vendetta (my favorite movie btw) when I was young. It came out in 2005, and I was 13. What always stuck in my mind is when V made Evie an eggy in a basket. It was made for her again by another character later in the movie. Her joy at eating one, as well as the happiness V seemed to feel when she ate it made me curious.

However, I did not eat one until college. My partner, Ryan, saw V for Vendetta with me for the first time, and noticed how excited and happy I got when V made it. So he made one for me. Now, we have them regularly, for breakfast and dinner.

They’re pretty easy to make. All you need is bread, butter and a single egg. And maybe some salt and pepper as well.

The hardest part of making an Eggy in a Basket is flipping it and not breaking the yolk. The easiest part? Eating it.

Zoe’s Cinnamon Rolls

I absolutely enjoy making cinnamon rolls. Although they can be time consuming to make if you’ve never made them before, they’re a breeze after making them a few times.

When we first started this blog, I posted a caramel pecan cinnamon roll recipe that you can find here. That recipe is simply decedent and sweet as hell. While I don’t eat any of these cinnamon rolls I make, I do get a lot of happiness giving them to other people. Also, if they look and taste amazing, that’s a plus too.

Well, these cinnamon rolls I made recently are my more basic recipe, more classic, with the added effect of bacon, both in the dough and sprinkled on top.

Huevos Rancheros

On this lovely Monday, we are celebrating a holiday called: President’s Day! In order to celebrate correctly, and have some fun, Eric and I looked up the documented favorite foods of all the Presidents!

Some were incredibly boring, old fashioned or gross, and some were just not so doable. We settled on this delicious dish, a favorite of our 43rd President, George W. Bush. According to the Lifestyle section of Wide Open Eats, W. would have a post-church meal of Huevos Rancheros every Sunday they weren’t at Camp David.

Traditionally, this is a breakfast dish served in the style of large mid-morning fare on rural Mexican farms. The main ingredients are tortillas, eggs, a tomato-chili sauce, refried beans, rice, avocado or guacamole.

In order to make one that I would eat, and that I could keep improving on, I changed some of the ingredients to make mine. I did not use refried beans as I don’t like them, used a salsa verde sauce, and fresh tomato salsa and added a cheese element that isn’t necessary tradional. I kept the rice and the avocado of course because who doesn’t want that?

Sound good? Find the recipe here.

Valentine’s Day Vanilla Rhubarb Scones

It’s Valentine’s Day, and what are you doing? Maybe going out for dinner or heading to the jewelry store to pick up something shiny.

In my house, we don’t really do the whole out to dinner thing. Or the gifts, or the jewelry. I normally try to make something new. So this year, I made scones. But not just ANY scones (I also have a deep love for the word scone), vanilla rhubarb scones. Sweet and tart, these bring the perfect flavors to a Valentine’s (or any other day’s) morning!

If you already have a scone recipe you love, you can just modify it with ease to make them into these vanilla rhubarb scones. Add another teaspoon of vanilla, or crush up a vanilla bean and add that in. Then, cut rhubarb into small pieces and add those right into the scone mixture and voila! Vanilla Rhubarb scones for your Valentine’s Breakfast.

Fluff Cakes

The giant souffle pancakes that you can find in Japan… they look so good don’t they? These are a version of that. I love fluffy food, and these are the definition of fluffy.

The pancakes themselves, are not dense, but rather very light as they are mostly meringue. While my pomegranate chocolate chip pancakes are very heavy, these ones you can keep eating forever.

Now, mine look small because I only filled my molds 1/4 of the way. But if you fill them 1/2-3/4 of the way, they will be much bigger because they will rise in the mold ( i was being a little lazy).

Oh, please make these. They’re so delicious.

Challah French Toast, Apricot Bacon Jam and Bourbon Creme Anglais

French toast is a fantastic classic breakfast. While we’re big fans of classic greatness here, I’m a bigger fan of making classic things better!

I just want to point out a couple of things about this amazing dish. You don’t have to make the challah yourself. I did, but that’s because I am an overachiever. The bacon jam isn’t necessary if you’re a vegetarian or keeping kosher, but if neither of those apply to you, bacon jam it up! You can also skip the bourbon in the creme anglais if that’s not your cup of tea, but the extra boozy kick really help, in my opinion.

This was really good french toast. And I definitely think you should make it. So here’s the recipe.

Oh, and if you’re looking for the Apricot Bacon Jam recipe, you’ll have to subscribe to our mailing list to get this exclusive recipe.

If you make it, let us know! We’d love to see how you do!

National Parfait Day!

It’s National Parfait Day and we’re making a whole bunch of parfaits. Well, by a whole bunch, I mean two. Parfaits can come in a variety of different flavors and styles.

In my house, yogurt is a staple. We eat Greek yogurt most often, and generally with fruit mix-ins (although I really like the candy mix-ins, or pretzels). And while the yogurt we eat is generally for breakfast, I decided to make one for breakfast and one for dessert. Instead of giving you long recipes, I’ll just explain them to you.

The first parfait I made was my Pomegranate Breakfast Parfait.

This parfait is more towards what people imagine to be “classic”. Cinnamon spiced greek yogurt functions as the base, with pomegranate seeds and pistachio seeds as the other layers. For some extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey over every yogurt layer. Top with berries and enjoy!

The second parfait I made was a dessert parfait. I have this thing for s’mores. I really really really like s’mores. So I made it into a parfait.

So here is my S’mores Dessert Parfait.

For the base and top layer, crush a few graham crackers. I use the classic honey flavored ones. In a double boiler, melt some dark chocolate. Once fully melted, I mixed it into some plain greek yogurt, thus making a really rich (very tasty) dark chocolate greek yogurt. I recommend using marshmallow fluff for the marshmallow layer. If you have a butane torch, gently caramelize the top layer of marshmallow and then top with a graham cracker and chocolate square.

Delicious. Try these out.

Maple Cayenne Butter

When I think about the fall, I think about sweaters, leggings, boots, crunchy leaves, and warm fulfilling food that makes me feel like the cooling weather is happening just for me. One of my biggest fall things is not something you’d expect.

Pancakes. I think pancakes are great all year round, but with the addition of fresh maple syrup, I just immediately associate pancakes with the fall. But now, I have one upped my own pancakes with the addition of this amazing compound butter. I softened butter and added maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The ingredients were mashed together and then formed into a log with a piece of saran wrap and then cooled in the refrigerator. It’s so easy to make and you don’t even need any special tools!

I won’t lie, I wanted to eat the butter plain. It’s that good.

But other than pancakes, there are so many fun applications for this butter! Pancakes are just one. French toast, waffles, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, popcorn… the possibilities are basically endless.

I used this butter to make more than a few things after I made it, but my favorite was poutine. Poutine is traditionally a Canadian dish, originating in Quebec. Typically, it consists of fries and cheese curds, covered in delicious brown gravy. It’s actually the best hangover food I’ve ever come across, as well as an amazing anytime I feel like food. So where did I use the maple cayenne butter? The brown gravy is based in a roux (butter and flour cooked together to create a base for a thick sauce), and the compound butter gave the whole sauce this sweetness backed by the sharpness of cayenne.

While I haven’t linked the recipe for my poutine to this article, with enough interest, I will post it at a later time. In the meanwhile, please please please enjoy the hell out of this butter and use it for everything.

Brie, Honey and Lemon Pancakes with Toasted Pecans, White Chocolate Shavings and Maple Syrup

In August, I competed in a completion thrown by Chefs Roll in collaboration with Callebaut, home of the finest Belgian chocolate. Out of the 10 categories that were open to compete in, I entered in 4 of them. One of the categories was Breakfast Breads and so I made these pancakes. Although they did not progress to the second round, they were very delicious and very different than any pancake I had ever made before.

The pancake itself is savory and creamy with a touch of sweetness from the honey and a hint of acid from the lemon juice added to the batter and the lemon zest garnishing the top. You can omit the nuts if that’s not your thing, but I found that the crunch they provided was absolutely fantastic paired with the creaminess of the pancakes. Unfortunately, I did not take a lot of pictures of the pancakes because I only needed one to submit for competition, but if you’ve made a pancake before, it should be a pretty straightforward process. Good luck, and good eating.
