BREAKFAST!!!

I was looking for a breakfast thread and never found one that seemed open-ended enough to post on. So here y'all go!
 
Posty up your breakfast if you like, even if it's cold leftover pizza.
 
No time for words? No problem. Show us your awesome yellowish cell phone camera pic. No obligation to write out a recipe here if you don't want to.
 
Forgot to take a picture until halfway through the meal? Perfect! Selfie photo-op.
 
Whoops! You made brunch instead? That's cool... it counts.
 
 
I'll go first with a take on a Cuban breakfast called Huevos Habaneros. It means Havana Eggs, but it's not made with Habaneros. In fact, it's not traditionally spicy hot. (Cuban meals typically aren't.) So, I had to SoFlo it up a bit and call it something different.

These are eggs baked over sofrito with butter on top in a custard cup for about 12 minutes at 375 F (yolks are still a bit runny). Then topped with more sofrito and garnished with some cayenne powder, but sofrito isn't spicy hot either. So...
 
Sofrito Caliente
 
(Enough for one serving)
 
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 Fresno pepper (cored and chopped)
1 green jalapeno (cored and chopped)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup peeled, cored, chopped tomato
olive oil for sauteing
 
Saute the onion and peppers till the onion is translucent. Then add the garlic and cumin for a minute more. Then toss in the tomato for another minute or two. Salt and black pepper to taste.
 
 
 
Do it up y'all!
 
Let's see what breaks your fast.

Better yield when cutting up. I used to do that before I got too lazy and just cut deeper to trim the little hairy hole things off. They actually are arranged very symmetrically, in a descending diagonal pattern, makes that swirling thing pretty easy
 
Anyone who's been to a Starbucks lately, knows about Egg Bites.  This crazy walk-away menu item has been said to be their most successful food launch.

For those of you watching your carbs, it's a win-win.  Having picked up a Joule sous vide circulator last Prime day, I thought I'd try my hand at the home-made sous vide version.  There are recipes using an Instant-Pot and a regular oven out there, too.  Basically, it's just equal parts of egg and some sort of dairy (I used a low-fat cottage cheese), then I seasoned with salt, black pepper and Aleppo, then cooked in a mold of some sort.  Starbucks uses full fat ingredients like bacon, gruyere, Jack cheese, etc., but I'm headed in the more diet-friendly direction.  Today, I used some small Weck jars, which weren't the easiest thing to get the eggs out of.  Next time, I'll spray with some sort of baking release spray like Pam.  Topped with a sauteed mix of tomato, NuMex Sauve Orange & Mad Hatter peppers, onion and parsley, the dish is finished with a sprinkle of Aleppo. 
 
Let's just say, I hit this one out of the park!  Dee-eeeeeeee-li-cious!

Fried egg and cheese Sammie on Mennonite rye bread. Toasted right to the edge of being burnt, as a opposed to my wife's preference of no colour, slightly warm and dry to the touch.

Getting to the end of my double reaper sauce. 50/50 Brandon's peach reapers and my homegrown ones with just enough salt, vinegar to bring it together and ascorbic acid powder to keep the colour.

Smoke.
 
Before I read the description.
 
I stared at the pic.
 
Hard.
 
I thought it was a chicken fried steak and eggs.
 
Splooged with that glorious gravy.
 
And then...
 
You said it was biscuits.
 
Still good but...
 
Thanks.
 
For ruining the fantasy.
