Sunday Morning Inspiration
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, though it’s also my most commonly forgone.
Or somewhat often, a weekend may see me eat a bagel, a scone, a bowl of Simply Suzanne granola.
This morning, though, I found myself craving something substantial. Digging through the kitchen, I found a few ambulatory balls of Tribble-like fur, some lunch meat of questionable province, and not much else. The salvage total read like this: A freezer burned half loaf of bread, 3 eggs, half an onion, and left over cider-braised beef from dinner at Grange.
Sounded vaguely like time for some “steak and eggs.”
So I heated the beef, cooked the onion, and added them with some dried basil, thyme, salt, and red pepper flakes to some beaten egg whites, discarding the yolks. Then I poured the mixture into two medium-sized pastry cutters set into a pan of olive oil. I cooked them slowly over low-medium heat to get them to set up into little egg-beef cakes. Those went onto two slices of toasted all-grain bread with some olive oil and a bit of white balsamic.
The results? Amazing. One of the better spontaneous lunch or breakfast meals I’ve made. I suggest you give it a go. That is, if you happen to have some stale bread and left over cider-braised beef sitting about.
