Breakfast is Served!

Breakfast mood is here:)

Got in the mood to make a good hearty breakfast today. Rummaging through my fridge, I decided I'd go with a few of my favourite food items..

Hence, on the menu:
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Scrambled Eggs
Chicken Chipolata

Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
Ingredients -
2 slices of bread
Butter
Mayo
Honey Mustard
3 slices of Cheese

For the grilled cheese sandwich, I tried a different take from my usual, and spread mayo thinly on one slice, and honey mustard on the other slice of bread. Sandwich 3 slices of cheese in between.

For a nice golden brown look, add some butter into the frying pan, for mine I happened to be craving garlic bread, so i just used garlic butter in mine. Place the sandwich in the pan and leave it on its side for 3 mins each. This will give you a nice, crunchy and melty grilled cheese sandwich :)

Slice just before serving, and you can drool at the oozing cheese.

Chipolata:
Ingredients -
2 chicken chipolata sausages
Butter/oil

For the chipolata, simply add a little butter or oil in the pan and lightly brown the sausages.

Scrambled eggs:
Ingredients -
2 eggs
Butter
Salt & Pepper

To make the scrambled eggs, dont whip the eggs, and do not season first. It results in watery eggs as the seasoning breaks down the eggs (according to Gordon Ramsay).

Add eggs to pan and a generous knob of butter. Place onto med heat and start mixing it with a spatula. Keep stirring and it will cook on its own. When it's about 80% cooked with just small wet portions left, take it off the heat, but keep stirring.

*note: my eggs look a little dry and whitish, as I stepped away for a while and this is what I came back to, so really watch your eggs to make sure they do not overcook. Thankfully mine was still salvaged and it was still moist and yummy.

Finally, plate up and season your food with salt and pepper to your own preference.

I prepared the food in the same order so I could use the same frying pan to minimize clean up. :P

To note:
This is quite a hearty breakfast, so it's ok for an occasional treat, but not an everyday affair.

For a healthier option, instead of grilled cheese sandwich, just make one simple toast or garlic bread.

And add some fresh vegetables on the side for a good balance. The difference that lettuce and some tomatoes would make:)
