Food || Breakfast-the way it's supposed to be!

Through the week, breakfast is always rushed,a couple of crusts from my boys toast or a smoothie. Weekends I love being in the kitchen and making something new and delicious, because a couple of crusts with a bit of peanut butter Monday to Friday just doesn't cut it.


Always wanting to reduce my red meat intake, I adore chicken or turkey sausages. Currently an avocado fiend (it`s on my plate every other day) this breakfast was just perfect. Served with some grilled mushrooms, sliced beef tomato and pumpkin seeds, was quick and filling. Plus I got to sit at my table and eat it. That was the absolute best part.

What`s your favourite weekend meal?

Food || Spiced Baked Eggs

Sings at the top of my voice! 

"How do you like your eggs in the morning?  I like mine with a kiss, boiled or fried i`m satisfied as long as I get my kiss"

Sorry about that just couldn't help myself to a bit of Deano on this Monday morning.

It`s Monday and the weekend is a distant memory. Well it will soon be back around again and this recipe is perfecto for a lazy weekend brunch. It packs so much flavour.

Carnivores don't fret you won`t miss the meat at all. There is so much going on and so many flavours you will be licking the plate clean. 



You will be needing: 

3 free range or organic eggs.
70g mushrooms
Half a red onion sliced thinly 
Smoked paprika 
Cumin
Dried coriander 
3 sliced garlic cloves
Tin of tinned tomatoes 
Salt and pepper 
Olive oil.

Method

1) Fry the mushrooms, onions and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil on the hob and on a low heat for 10-12 minutes. Add a tablespoon of smoked paprika, coriander powder and cumin.

2) Add tinned tomatoes and salt and pepper and simmer on low for 10 minutes. 

3) Crack 3 eggs on top of the mix and then cook on the hob for a further 8 minutes with the lid on. You want the eggs to be cooked but still a little runny. Garnish with parsley.

4) Serve with a tortilla, bagel what ever takes your fancy. I served with a mixed salad and some feta cheese. 

This recipe serves 3 people, just add more eggs if you are feeding more people.

You could also add Parma ham on top or fry some pancetta with the mushrooms and onions if you really, really need some meat. Add chilli flakes if you want to add an extra spicy kick.

What do you think? Will you try?
