The Great Breakfast photo thread

I've had one in the last six weeks.

Thursday's second breakfast. Was good. Needed beans.

Sunday fry up. Forgot to get fresh mushrooms, so had to use some tinned ones... not great. But the fried bread was awesome

Lovely barrier work there

Your fried bread always looks amazing Calibrax. I'd love you to cook me a fry up

Breakfast at the B&B I'm staying at - interesting method of beans/egg separation:

Shakshouka

Delicious.

That looks lush and different.

I had something like that in turkey years ago.

It's a lovely dish.

The addition of feta worked very well.

Salmon with scrambled egg, pickles and caper berries this morning.

[matrignano]

Made this at 2pm on Sunday but it was my first meal of the day so it qualifies as breakfast!

Truffled scrambled eggs with Heston jasmine smoked salmon and tatty scones

Nice combination but your scrambled eggs look too dry/over cooked.

[matrignano]

Yes a tad, I'm always worried of undercooking them for some reason, even though I like very runny egg!
Or maybe I should add some milk to the egg mix?

He wasn't talking to you.

No. You should stop worrying about undercooking and eat them as you like them.

Agree that the photo above shows overcooked eggs.

[Johnny]

Possibly. I like them like that... Always had a problem with being served scrambled eggses that were watery.

This way they taste great, for me at least, and I like the texture.

It's excessive milk that makes scrambled eggs watery - 3 eggs should only need a tiny splash (if at all), but people tend to use milk to 'bulk' up volume of small eggs. By the time you've cooked out all of the water in the milk (to avoid watery slops), you're left with something with the texture of polystyrene packing.

Try doing it on a medium heat, with plenty of stirring, and without any milk (perhaps one more egg than normal). You can get them to a wonderful, rich, silky consistency without too much effort.

Constant stirring, remove from heat when stirring starts to show the clean bottom of the pan, continue stirring for another 10 seconds or so, season and serve.
