Healthy breakfast idea
Who doesn't like a cooked breakfast from time to time? OK my vegetarian friends maybe aren't with me here, but it can be adapted to be meat free!
This week continued to be cold, with the added bonus of heavy rains, I now can commiserate with my family in the UK who have been tortured with wet weather for months in 2012. I was looking for a comforting plate of food, but not necessarily full of calories. The delicious result was my any time breakfast salad.
The cooking time is minimal which is nice for when your in a hurry, or just starving. I dressed a selection of salad greens with a lovely light walnut oil & lemon vinaigrette, I put a handful in each bowl, I sautéed some new potatoes which were already cooked in a pan with olive oil, added sliced button mushrooms. In another pan I poached an egg per person, I wrapped some jambon sec around a grissini stick, this could of course be cooked bacon or Parma ham. Place the sautéed vegetables on top of the lettuce, & the poached egg in middle with the Grissini & ham across. When you slice into the egg, the runny yolk pours over the salad making it really yummy. The vegetarian alternative is as above, either wrap roasted red pepper around the grissini, or chargrilled courgette ribbon, & halved cherry tomatoes strewn around the plate.
Bon appetite.
