Breakfast Shenanigans
January 25, 2010
Breakfast is, without a doubt, my favorite meal of the day. At any time of the day. So much, in fact, that there has been speculation of a breakfast wedding banquet at some point. I wonder if that’s a popular thing?
Anyway – we made breakfast this morning for the first time in several weeks and the scrambled eggs were delicious. I fail completely and utterly at most egg-based breakfast foods. They’re usually edible, but I’d never dream of feeding them to anyone but myself. Waffles, pancakes, muffins, breads, pastries, various meats and any other breakfast related foods I take pride in. Eggs are the one thing that escape my grasp…tricky bastards.
ANYWAY. I wanted to try and come up with an actual recipe for the eggs to be written down somewhere and this is the closest I’ve come up with. Obviously they’re never made the same way twice, but I’m more comfortable with altering a solid recipe then I am with pulling entire meals out of the air. Here goes:
- 5 eggs
- 1 tblsp favorite hot sauce (more if you like spicy food)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 oz cream cheese cubed
Mix eggs, hot sauce and sugar in a medium sized bowl. Cook over medium heat until eggs start to solidify. Fold in cream cheese and cook until eggs are done.
Voila! We did pancakes and maple bacon with the eggs and got the day started off right. Who cares it if wasn’t started until noon?
