Those that know me, and those that read my blog, are by now, probably aware that I'm a rather huge fan of the humble egg. Well, I am. I post about eggs a lot, and post a lot of egg recipes. You make think, 'Hmm.. too simple'. But, sometimes simple, is splendid. Seriously! I understand if you're not a fan of eggs, (I feel for you), I however think they are versatile and quite simply 'awesome'. I'm repeating my self, but I feel I have to share it. I get a lot of joy from just a poached egg, on some good quality ham (another sort of love of mine, is that bad?), placed on top of a bagel (they're great), and topped with my own version of hollandaise. Again, I post these sort of recipes a lot, but they're consistently tasty! To make the hollandaise, I took a spoon of good mayo, mixed in some wholegrain mustard and a squeeze of lemon. (It may sound a bit mental, but it tastes ruddy nice.) There. I've said it. I wasn't egg-xaggerating. I really do love eggs, just as much as I love egg puns and other bad jokes... not bad yolks. (Terrible). Embrace the things you love! +Happy Eggs.
A cup of strong +Yorkshire Tea and an awesome onion bagel, filled with a fancy poached egg, a slice of good ham and a drop of jarred hollandaise sauce. (Pretty much an easy version of eggs Benedict.) These two things are one of my favourite combinations for breakfast. A great way to start a day. Eggs especially are full of protein and vitamins. Enjoy the things you love, embrace them, sometimes add in a new ingredient perhaps, just for a change! OR keep it how you like. Simple.
I was watching a cooking show where they were making Eggs Benedict. I love this dish, but this morning I didn't fancy the complete heavyness/richness of the hollandaise. (Not to mention the fuss of preparing it too!) I still wanted something satisfying though. I give you, shallow poached egg, on honey roasted ham, topped on a toasted bagel. Eggy, bready perfection. All enjoyed with a cup of tea. Some of my favourite ingredients, all in one. :)
