I guess if you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll know how much I love breakfast. Most of the time I try to make some sort of cooked breakfast for the weekend as weekdays are dominated by cereals and sandwhiches assembled in a hurry.

Most of my fry ups are made up of a few components: the eggs, starch, meat and veg.
For the eggs, you can choose a variety of ways and a lot it has to do with the technique. There are so many ways besides the scrambled and the omelettes, some taking a little more time. Today’s breakfast were scrambled eggs, here’s a video for perfect scrambled eggs. I find that cooking on the lowest heat my stove can go and adding one tablespoon of heavy cream per egg gives me good results for a homogenous soft yellow scramble. I use corn oil instead of butter to cut down a little on the saturated fat. (guess every single bit of cutting down helps if you’re gonna eat bacon and eggs). I take it off the heat when its slightly undercooked as it continues to cook off the heat. Other techniques for egg include

Coddled a youtube video of coddled eggs, and interesting but a little time consuming way of preparing eggs.
Boiled: soft or hard its not really difficult, just a matter of personal preference how set you want the yolk to be. Generally I put my eggs in cold water and turn it off after it boils for about 2 mins.
Sunny side up, this doesn’t really need much explaination does it? Kylie Kwong does these amazing eggs which are super tasty, my grandma made them for me when I was young but I had it with a drizzle of soy not oyster sauce. The crunch of the deep fried whites contrast with the soft yolks.

Having some vegetables add colour, what works is you love and what you have in your fridge. I like mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, capsicums or peppers sometimes even corn.
For the starch, it could be simple like slices of a sandwhich loaf. Swissbake has great unbaked croissants that bake and puff up deliciously in your oven. They have mean wholemeal loaves as well as dinner rolls. If you don’t have bread which happens to us pretty often, I grate some potatoes for a hash or mix some batter for pancakes.

Mug a little gift from when we were dating, I was a poor student then, couldn’t afford much but H loved the mug so much he drank his tea from it everyday since he got it.
