Breakfast Club: Eggs

Yes. It’s been a while, and I’m fully aware I shouldn’t have left you, without a helpful meal choice to step to. So much like the in office clam (the return of heat induced pressure rather than the main ingredient in the New England Chowder) I’m back with a fresh prescription for your slow wake munchies. Its fact that the best time for breakfast in general is the weekends; it’s the only real time a weekday worker can enjoy a leisurely morning meal, unless you’ve thrown in a sickie or are currently actually hugging the toilet with all the conviction and aggression of a curry vendor on Brick Lane. It’s also gospel that the most commanding element of any cooked breakfast is undoubtedly eggs; their dickensian ability to make or break the meal is simply astounding. Incredibly versatile when seasoned with panache eggs are king, and though you might think you know the 3 ways to consume an egg in the morning, here’s another Top 3: 1. Poached Eggs Hard to get right but beautiful when you do the poached egg deserves a decadent base to ooze over. Wholemeal toast, thickly cut and toasted, honey roast ham + wholegrain mustard, a particularly strong cheddar and a healthy helping of black pepper works every time. Ketchup is optional on this poor man’s Croque Madame, as is replacing the bread with a waffle. Best digested to: Wildbirds & Peacedrums – Doubt Hope [Leaf] 2. Scrambled Eggs The ONLY accompaniment crispy bacon deserves. Made with real butter, plenty of black pepper and spiced up with curry powder, tobasco sauce or even Lea & Perrin’s the only drawback is cleaning the pan after the fact. Sometimes soaking it just isn’t enough... Again ketchup is optional depending on your level of sauce infusion as discussed above. Best digested to: Brackles – LHC [Planet Mu] 3. Fried Eggs With one never being enough a duo of fried eggs is best served with sausages. Butcher sausages mind, none of this piss weak student type cheap as shit Richmond sausages that have been charred to cinders on a George Foreman grill because every time you use the grill provided the fat sparks a fire and the shriek of the smoke alarm is not what anyone needs when you’re too drunk to sleep off the hangover at 9am on a Sunday. Ketchup is essential. Best digested to: Notorious B.I.G.. – Who Shot Ya? [Bad Boy]
