Weekend Breakfast


Having a delicious, beautiful breakfast does not require going downtown or risking missing a down of football. Above is sunny side up egg over rosemary baby potatoes and a side of greens. The whole dish will take about 20min max and you can make up to about four at a time (limiting factor being your pan size for the eggs). I happened to have baby potatoes on hand. They included a mix a some gold and red ones as well as some really cool little purple guys. But you could just as easily cube russets or yukon golds or any root veggie you fancy. Also, left-over baked potatoes would work great here. Just saute over medium-low heat with some olive oil and/or butter, garlic, shallots (or onions), and salt and pepper to taste. In this case I also had fresh rosemary from my parents' yard (can also check your friend's and neighbors' yards ;) ). While those are going check the vegetable drawer and pick some winners. I found lettuce (in this case butter lettuce), cucumbers, fresh avocados from my gf's parents' tree, and a tomato. Throw it on the plate then drizzle with some dressing you can make with the juice of a fresh citrus fruit, olive oil, and vinegar, and s&p to taste and add some honey or sugar if it's too sour for your liking. Lastly, cook the egg over low heat in butter add s&p and slide over potatoes on the plate when finished. For garnish thinly slice basil, cilantro, green onions, or parsley and sprinkle over the top.
