What's for Breakfast?

Ample! Rooster version of sriracha? Have you tried Tabasco variety sriracha? I like it a lot...T

 

Yes... I really like the Tabasco version. Need to order more.

This was the standard sriracha sauce. Still tasty.

 

Sometimes I move me some ketchup instead

Professional looking home fries. Add a dash of hot sauce to the ketchup. Kicks it up a notch. I know you'll enjoy it.

What's a "basted egg"?

 

See thread below. I "invented" this because my wife likes her egg yolks well set, but does not like brown bits - Maillard rxn - that go with a well cooked egg.
And F-chatter informed me that - no surprise - the culinary world was already on top of it!

BTW, that Tabasco rocoto pepper sauce has great flavor. I was going to put some harissa on them, but the Kroger stuff I bought the last time we ventured out to the store was a dude. No heat, little spice. I need to find a better harissa brand...T

 

throw in some water? What, what, what?

That sounds so weird...which means of course that I gotta try it!

From a quick google search, "basted eggs" turns up what I expected when one hears that word...basted with butter like we might do to a pan seared steak. It seems some "safe egg people" have commandeered the word to describe their "steam basted egg" technique. Hmmm...I think I'll try both butter basting and water/steam basting...

Question - does the water completely evaporate out of the pan, or is there still liquid when you pull the eggs out?

 

I know you love your eggs!

Your refinement of the distinction between basted & steam basted corresponds to what I have also read.
What I call "basted" is closer to what I have seen under "steam basted eggs".

To answer your question - it works best - for cleanup & such - if the water does not fully evaporate, but does not cover the egg completely.
For the latter, my wife likes a half-slice of American cheese (yeah, I know!) on her egg and if there is too much water, it can become a soupy mess.
To extract the egg, I use the mother-in-law's old Batter Beater, and let any water drain off before plating.
It's like a fish turning spatula, but slightly thinner tines. Pic below pilfered from Ebay.

I pull them off when the egg yolk looks firmly set, then put on a half-slice of cheese, cover with a lid, and let the cheese melt while I finish up other things.

Wait, no pics of the Tim Bits?!?

Early in my career, I worked with a dude from Manitoba. He was always going on about how great the Canadian Football League and Tim Hortons was. Wrong on CFL, but oh so right on the donuts!

I shouldn't have doubted him though, since our friends up north are the world champions of donut eating!

Here you go lol

I prefer the lighter fluffier Krispy Keme yeast donuts myself. But the apple fritter is still good

Huevos rancheros on a fresh cooked tortilla. Topped with harissa - Kroger harissa looks and tastes like a salsa/sofrito mix & some Tabasco original...T

I made a ham and cheese sandwich yesterday that I didn’t eat. I buttered it and put it in in the waffle maker today for breakfast. With Apple cider it turned out great!

Washed down with Turkish coffee. The spices in the toast - vanilla and cinnamon - good match with the spices in the coffee, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Over the last year or so, we'v enjoyed smoothies for breakfast. Yogurt, protein powder, fruit (berries or banana, most typically), a pinch of matcha green tea powder, water. Sometimes add something antioxidant or anti-inflammatory like ginger, turmeric, etc. Blitz with a stick blender. Yummy. A cup of yogurt with low-carb granola in the late AM, and I'm good to go until near dinner time.
