Eggs In Caves

A simple but slightly odd breakfast dish. This recipe makes one, so simply make one for each person.


1 bread roll
1 egg
1 slice of ham
1-2 slices of cheese


Cut off the top of the roll and remove some of the insides of the roll to make a hole large enough for an egg to fit.

Crack the egg into the hole, then puncture the yolk without breaking it. (This is so it doesn't explode when you cook it in the microwave)

Cover the hole with the slice of ham and then the cheese.

Place on a plate and cook in the microwave at full effect for 1-2min. (The cheese should just be beginning to melt)

Serve with any breakfast accessories you prefer.



Enjoy!

French Toast

French toast (known as Poor Knights in Sweden) makes a special breakfast or a filling dessert depending on your mood.

1 egg
3dl milk
1dl flour
8 pieces of bread (usually unsweetened white but whatever you prefer)
sugar
cinnamon


Whip the egg together with a little of the milk.

Mix in the flour and whip until the batter is smooth.

Add the rest of the milk and stir together.

Lay the bread slices in the batter until they have gone soft and soaked in batter from both sides.

Fry them until they are wonderfully golden brown on both sides.

Turn them over in sugar mixed with cinnamon or sprinkle it over them.

Serve freshly fried with jam, marmalade or fresh berries.


Enjoy!

Farmers Omelette

This omelette is perfect if you have leftovers in the fridge. Use what you have at home but here is a basic recipe that you can modify depending on what you have available and best of all you don't have to flip it.

1 chopped yellow onion
2tbl butter or margarine
150g smoked ham in cubes
3-4 boiled potatoes in cubes
6 eggs
5tbl water
2 pinches of salt
1/2 pinch ground pepper


Fry the onion in the butter until it starts to get transparent but not gained any color.

Put in the potatoes and ham and fry until it's all warmed up.

Whip together eggs, water and spices and pour it over the potatoes, ham and onions in the pan.

Drag a plastic fork underneath it so that fresh batter can reach the heat and harden.

Serve when the batter has just hardened on the top with some freshly chopped parsley on top if you like.

Enjoy!

Simple Porridge

A friend mentioned to me that he had no idea how to make porridge which i thought was a bit surprising but here is the simplest recipe for porridge that i know.

1dl oatmeal
2 1/4dl water
1 pinch of salt

Mix everything together in a breakfast bowl.

Put the bowl in a microwave for 2min at full power.

Add milk.


One variation that is very tasty is to mix the oatmeal with powdered cinnamon before you add the water so that it mixes evenly, serve with chopped apple or applesauce.

Enjoy!
