Because the world might end...

I'm living as though the world might end this Friday -- shopping, restaurant hopping, bingeing and happily meeting all and sundry, never turning down a single invitation, for WHO KNOWS!? Though I do know, it shall not, and had BETTER NOT, for I have many, many plans for 2013, and if this world ends, dear Mayans, I will kick your a*** up there!

So in order to live like we are dying (yes Lenka, yes! Full credits for that line...) and because Kailash Colony conceded with stocking yummy piggy products (finally!) thanks to the Green Chick Shop, I decided upon a lavish breakfast for my pretty self 'cause if that silly prediction is true, this is the last weekend that any of us can savor -- EVER!!!

Okay, this post is turning rather depressive and slightly sinister, and so let's quickly bring the focus back to FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

And while more bacon sizzles into a crispy crunch in my kitchenette, let me share with you how I put together a breakfast fit for a king, or in my case, for a QUEEN...

I call it the Beyond Dinner Breakfast (you will know why!)...

#1 Deviled Eggs with Bacon

Ingredients:

Eggs - 1
Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp
Mustard -  A dash
Bacon - 1 strip, nicely crisped

Method:

  • Hard boil the egg and once cool, cut open the egg into a neat half
  • Scoop out the yolk and combine with the mustard and mayonnaise, until its a smooth, silky paste
  • Scoop back the paste above into the egg whites
  • Top with the crispy bacon

#2 Hash Brown Potato

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 2 medium or 3 small potatoes, peeled and grated
Salt & Pepper - To taste
Olive Oil - For frying the hash browns

Method:
  • In order to ensure the hash brown potatoes are crispy as should be, be careful to drain them well with a kitchen towel before placing in the skillet for shallow frying
  • Make thin, flat scoops of the grated, well-seasoned potatoes between two serving spoons, if you are an amateur home cook like I am, and place in the skillet
  • Allow to cook for approximately 3-5 minutes on low to medium heat on each side, or until golden brown



#3 Open Salami Sandwich

Ingredients:

Brown Bread - 1 slice
Cheese Slice - 1
Mayonnaise - A spoonful
Lettuce (iceberg, preferably) - 2 medium sized leaves
Black Pepper Chicken Salami - 5 slices

Method:

  • Spread mayonnaise on the slice of brown bread, and place a cheese slice on top
  • Grill in the oven for about 5 minutes
  • Place the leaves of lettuce and then top with the chicken salami slices


Now that we have the major portion of the Beyond Dinner Breakfast ready, quickly crisp some bacon and prepare a side portion of chill-garlic mushrooms (Champiñónes al Ajillo) along with a chilled beer mug of home-made coffee.


The Beyond Dinner Breakfast

Although the combination of food is far from any typical "Classic Breakfast", it did work and how! From the crunchy lettuce combining with the toasted, cheesy slices of bread and salami to the creamy, beautifully pungent deviled eggs that were set off perfectly by the crispy bacon, and of course the chilli garlic mushrooms that WOKE me up more than my coffee -- it was a good Sunday Meal!! And of course, K3G on air, a long pending, happy phone-call from my namesake, the Pagginess as well as my warm, delicious blanket have made this Sunday my happy, happy Sunday!

Now you all go try your hand at some or all of the above and indulge in this seriously heavy, clean flavored breakfast selection, that is, if we all have another weekend :p

GO DIG IN!!!!!

  3. I think deviled eggs with bacon would be my favorite (the 'would' because I'd probably never get to taste any)
    Mi piace questa colazione :) [although I'd have to skip the lunch and dinner after that. Hahaha]
