"It's only after a bit of breakfast that I'm able to regard the world
with that sunny cheeriness which makes a fellow the universal favourite.
I'm never much of a lad till I've engulfed an egg or two and a beaker
of coffee."
P.G. Woodhouse
With a broken oven and no kitchen counter (alas the wooden one had to be replaced) I have felt rather out of sorts. More than that actually, I feel as though I've left the house with only one shoe on; a touch lost and a little bit befuddled.
Luckily I managed to get one last great breakfast in before my kitchen disappeared into a void, hopefully to reappear shortly. Mumma's hands need to be cookin'!
ease: 4.5/5
prep time: 5mins.
cooking time: 2.5mins.
total: 7.5mins.
taste: 4.5/5. Even the sweet tooth will rejoice.
There's no savoury breakfast dish I would choose over a sweet one; until now.
I love this combination! The sweet buttery challah against the richness of the egg with a salty hit from the cheese all brought together by the herby pesto (I didn't have enough basil for a pistou so I added some pinenuts) - yum!
would I make it again: Yes.
