Some interesting breakkie ideas

Anch...the pasta sauce sounds good...except i dont usually have wine in the house since neither of us drink....hehe

thanks for the tip on brown pasta...

and praneeti - will def try the savoury tarts...they sound lovely

i love puff pastry...there's so much you can do with it...even the simplest things

 

my simplest puff pastry "recipe" (it's not really one) but great for a quick saturday/sunday morning breakfast

 

cut puff pastry into fairly big squares (one sheet into 4 pieces).

take hard boiled eggs and cut them in half. sprinkle salt and pepper.

put half a boiled egg on each pastry square and fold the pastry over so it's a triangle

bake till golden brown

i know it sounds ridiculously simple but it's awesome

 

oh and another breakfast idea...this i sort of came up with myself after seeing something on tv...saugar liked it - more for the fun of it!

ingredients required per serving - 2 slices of fairly thick bread, 1 egg, 1.5 strips of turkey bacon (u can use regular bacon too - i dont like bacon so use turkey), a sprinkling of cheese (can be any kind - something that melts nicely - i usually use grated mozarella)

cook the bacon to a crisp on a seperate pan (or i recently saw a tip that cooking bacon in an oven/toaster oven works better - haven't tried yet)

take the first slice of bread - using a wine glass, cut a hole in the center of it.

heat a tiny bit of butter on a pan and place the slice of bread with the hole on it.

take an egg and break it right into that hole - try to keep the egg from running outside the hole - but a little won't matter.

let it cook till the underside of the egg is hard enough then flip it. add salt and pepper
cook the other side - a little will spread - but not a big deal.

how much you want to cook it depends on how you like your egg - both me an saugar like it a tiny bit runny when you bite into it

while the bread and egg is cooking on the other side toast the other slice of bread - either on the pan or lightly in a toaster

once the egg is almost done to how you like it - break the bacon strips into half and put three halves (hence 1.5 strips on the bread/egg). sprinkle a little cheese and place the second piece of bread on top.

cook for a little longer till the cheese melts a little

 

there's my little tit-bits for the day

 

and yes if all in favour let's start a blog

anch - rather than an email address - maybe just starting a blog on blogger with all of us having access to post to it?

if that works i can set one up and send you invites
