Weekend breakfast

We live in such times as that where we don’t have time for a good meal to kick start the day because the day has already been kick-started and we’ve been dragged along, hang­ing on to the han­dle­bars for dear life.

Oh, and the price of food and other house­hold items suck too.

But if you can, and when you can, get up a bit ear­lier and make a nice break­fast for your­self and loved ones, sit down, eat, and say, fuck it, I’m hav­ing a good meal I don’t care what the rest of the world is doing. Try it this weekend:

Eggs, scram­bled; Salmon, smoked:

Ingre­di­ents:

3 large eggs or 4 medium eggs

100 ml full cream milk

1/3 cup shaved parme­san cheese

50g smoked salmon

chives or pars­ley, finely chopped

freshly cracked fresh pepper

25g unsalted butter

2 thick slices bread (cia­batta, white, focac­cia etc)

(optional:

1/2 cup cherry tomato

rocket or spinach)

Method:

Com­bine eggs and milk in a bowl, melt but­ter on skil­let on low heat until it bub­bles, then pour eggs in, stir con­tin­u­ously until it cooks, then pour half the parme­san in, and keep stirring.

Turn off the heat, then stir in smoked salmon. Pep­per to taste, and serve on toasted bread, top with remain­ing parme­san and chives. (serves 2)
