What's for Breakfast?

Finally, got brave enough to try frying an egg on my Lodge carbon steel skillet after many rounds of breakfast bacon for the wife. Came off easy with a little bacon grease lubricant. Kept temp high to help with release. The egg would be too "burnt" for the missus, but was perfect for me. Served with a veggie sausage patty. Oh yeah, plus a lot of green Tabasco hot sauce!

Not enough eggs! Eggs hold them together

Try
1 cup milk
1 cup water
6 eggs
Pinch of salt
1 big heaping cup flour (probably 1.5 cups I just eyeball it)
Tsp vanilla extract
1-4 tablespoon sugar (to taste)
Blend/mix high speed
Stick of butter melted, or, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil mixed in

Let sit until mixing bubbles disappear.

Coat hot stick free pan by rubbing butter on every square inch and pour a ladle of mix in while hand swirling. After 1-2 mins if you shake the pan back and forth the crepe should be loose. Grab with fingers and flip (no spatula). Lots of eggs and flipping by hand after loose is the key.

Crepes anyone?

I wimped out on crepes in my new Matfer pan, but after a nice early morning drive in the Cali, I got a hankering for pancakes. Cioccolatto! To match the Cali interior.

Pancake mix, 2 eggs, cuppa milk. And, a tablespoon of 100%
Valhrona cocoa powder.

Ulterior motive? I was feeling cocky with the seasoning on my Matfer. She worked like a champ. No sticking. Easy cleanup. I use a two pan setup. Matfer = hot. For searing the flapjacks. One minute per side. Then a second pan at lower temps to finish cooking the interior.




Finished product with a little buttah. Maple syrup (thank you our Canadian buddies!). And, a little powdered sugar - long story, short - makes it look festive and reminds me of grandma.

Very nice

Getting cocky with the Matfer. Scrambled eggs this a.m. I'm declaring victory! Cleaned up with a paper towel. Tried a few seasoning methods, and found the "make the wife bacon for breakfast almost every day for 2 months" works the best.

Homemade mini egg mcmuffins!

Homemade mini biscuits, bacon and eggs, bit of cheddar to top it off.

But the eggs aren't folded neatly or in the nice little round shape?!?

Looks good!!

 

I've been thinking of upping my game and getting those little egg rings, but don't want to get too fancy! They tasted good, especially with a little shot of sriracha.

Best part of St Patrick's day...

Old trick from college days for egg mcmuffins at home;

Put the raw egg in a coffee cup and microwave it. Cooks fast and comes out muffin shaped and sized

 

Hmm. Do you pierce the yolk?

Egg talk got me moving. Onion bagel, slice of cheese, ketchup, and Bat's Brew hot sauce.

Scramble it with salt and pepper before nuking. Tends to puff up when nuked, so gotta watch to avoid that.

 

Had a lambchop with hash of onion, garlic, potato, mushroom, turmuric. Kraut and mung bean sprouts, and a bit of fennel.

That glob of ketchup makes me want to barf. Lol

That looks like a good prediction workout meal. Although not sure if I like mung beans.

 

Had my first Buc-ee's egg, potato, and cheese burrito. It was real good. Whataburger also makes excellent Taquitos.

 

Shush. Don't tell people about Whataburger. The state is already overrun with enough carpet baggers! Just stick with the company line - the summers are really hot, you wouldn't enjoy it.

We have Whatabuger's here, but what I'm looking forward to is trying my first In-N-Out burger next week in Dallas!

 

I like them. Wife thinks they're overrated. Coming to town for biz or fun?

Spring Break. My wife and I are taking our daughter to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. I've made dinner reservations at Nick & Sam's and Five-Sixty.

 

Very well done! Gaylord Texan is across the street. There are a few good, hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints in that neighborhood. And, some good (for Texas) Italian joints, including a place appropriately named Ferrari's! Safe travels.

What about the mosquitos .

Don't forget to ask for Animal Fries.

It is off the menu.

They also have a secret menu.

 

Yup. And, it must be said, if you want to get something that doesn't leave you saying "meh"; get the animal style double double

(Non animal style is nothing special. Single meat patty is the wrong proportions to make a good burger).

 

Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying some of the genuine Kobe beef at Nick & Sam's. If I get a chance, I'll post some pics.
