Rise and shine, it's brekky time! I have never been one for
skipping breakfast, as I wake up ravenous pretty much every day. During
the working week, my breakfast is consistently cereal with fruit because that
is a quick and easy option. However, on the weekends, I will sometimes
take the time to experiment with other things for breakfast because I have the
time to cook, and I have whatever is in my fridge at my disposal.
A
novel way to try a fry up is Anja Dunk's recipe for All Day Breakfast. It
is a hearty way to start the day, hence its other name, the farmer's breakfast,
as it would provide enough nutrition to keep a hard working farmer on the go.
The
All Day Breakfast is a little like a frittata, in that it is based on eggs, and
then you add whatever you like to them. For example, I did not have the
suggested ham on hand, but I did have sliced silverside, which I popped into my
dish. This dish also features potatoes, so if hash potatoes are a
big part of your breakfast, you can also cover off that base in this one
delicious dish.
To make your own all day breakfast in a size sufficient to serve
4-6 people (I obviously made a serve for one), you will need:
25g
butter
500g
thinly sliced cooked potatoes
6 thinly chopped spring onions
6 thinly chopped slices ham
100g blanched green beans, chopped
5 eggs, whisked
100ml sour cream or cream
80g grated cheese
40g grated Parmesan (I skipped this as I didn't have any)
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
Melt the butter in a large oven proof frying pan, then add the potatoes. Fry the potatoes for 5 minutes until they start to turn brown at the edges.
Add the spring onions, ham and beans to the pan and fry for another 2 minutes.
In a large jug, whisk together the eggs, cream, cheeses and parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan, tilting the pan from side to side to ensure the egg mixture is evenly spread across the pan. Fry the mixture for 2 minutes.
Put the frying pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the mixture is golden brown on top and the eggs are set.
Eat and enjoy!!

I love breakfast food but never wake up hungry so I eat it later in the day! I do something like this whenever I have things that need using up in the kitchen. Now I have a cute name for it haha!
I used to always have to eat quite early but having a kid to rush after has made me sometimes not eat for a few hours but I am still a breakfast person. Though not an egg and bacon sort of person but give me potatoes for breakfast any day!
I am with you on breakfast. I never leave the house without my breakfast. I too eat cereal for breakfast everyday and we eat more fancy stuff on the weekends like waffles.
