Breakfast

I rarely have breakfast myself. It is rare that I wake up early enough to prepare an early morning meal during the weekdays. So on the weekends I tend to try make at least an effort to have breakfast in the morning. I have become fairly bored of eggs and bacon on toast. No matter what I do with the eggs and how I prepare the bacon I feel that I am just decorating something that is just mundane and ordinary.

Thus have I have in the past few months decovered that you don’t have to be typical with breakfast and it can still be quick and easy. The following posts will be my exciting ideas and recipes on breakfast.

I hope this will make up my lack of posting, then again its my blog and I am bloging with a have time; which is not much.

Buttered Spinach on toast

Spinach is considered a rich source of iron and calcium. It taste great by itself and easily infused with flavours. You will need the following to produce something of your own. This will make 4 serves

• 4 handful of spinach per slice of toast.
• toast – the type and way you like it
• butter – 50gm
• anchovy (or rock salt)
• mint finely chopped
• garlic – pureed

In non stick low-medium heat pan, throw in 1 slivers anchovy and butter to melt. Once the butter has melted throw in the garlic and fry till slightly brown. Add the spinach and toss occassionally. Once tender turn off heat and add mint and toss through. Serve hot over toast! Pepper to taste.

Now a variations that liven up this simple dish.

1. Vinegar poached egg, this is easy for most and could be complished while cooking the spinach
2. Slow poached egg and placed on top of each serving. Easily done in the morning if your willing to wait. Place one egg in a plastic zip log bag and cook in 50°c temp water, add fish sauce if you want to salt it slightly. Cook in this bath for 45-60 minutes depending on how you like it. If cooking four ensure that once all 4 are placed in water, the bath is still 50°c.
3. Cream cheese or ricotta on toast before you serve the spinach. I like to warm the ricotta and mix in a spoon of vegemite!!

Will update tomorrow with a few more!!
