Poached Egg over Mixed Root Hash

I massacred my egg a bit- when I put it into the poach pod the yolk separated, so it’s a bit of a mess. After the tian and the napoleons the other day, I had a couple extra slices of sweet potato, red skinned, and butternut squash to use up, so I thought a [...]


Egg baked with Goat Cheese, Radish and Mizuna

Mizuna came from the farmer’s market this morning, as did the goat cheese.  It is a Japanese mustard green and remind me of arugula, with a less pungent flavour.

The point is, this dish will work with zucchini… but if zucchini is [...]


Baked Egg with Spinach, Fresh Basil and Mimolette

This was New Years Day food, because New Years Eve was a rough one this year, so eggs were needed the next day. This is a special baked egg because I topped it with Mimolette, one of our cheeses from the New Yrs Eve platter.  It was a pretty mild cheese and worked well on [...]


Can a proper English Breakfast be vegetarian?

Another egg post from my ‘weekend.’
After reading the Guardian’s spurning (but hilarious) response to the New York Magazine’s proclamation that the English Breakfast has infiltrated The City, I had to wonder, can a proper English Breakfast be vegetarian? No, probably not.  The essence of an English Breakfast is grease- mushrooms, toast, egg, tomato.. all fried [...]


It’s not Sunday…

But it’s my weekend and Virginia weather is emanating a lazy Sunday feeling, which means.. EGGS!!! I couldn’t agree more with the blog entitled Eggs on Sunday. Everybody should have eggs on Sunday.  Sometimes I eat eggs on Saturday, too.
We had some eggplant (or aubergine) going off.  It desperately needed eating up, so I pricked [...]
