I'm not a huge breakfast kind of gal, but I do love a leisurely Sunday brunch, and our Sundays almost always have some sort of cooked breakfast with bacon.
This is the first of a "breakfast series" ... where I do a simple picture dump and I include the recipe, or the process of how I make it. I am big into improvisational cooking, so my "recipes" are less about quantities and more about playing with whatever is on hand.
The breakfast plate pictured above was from yesterday. It was so good, I can still taste it in my mind. What was it? A breakfast hash. In other words, it was a frying pan full of lovely things I found in the fridge.
I started with some bacon pieces (I like to cut them with the kitchen shears), and half of a leftover onion (chopped). I then added two potatoes that I had quickly precooked in the microwave. But there were only 5 chopped slices of bacon in the pan, since our nephew Matthew was here all week and he loves his bacon as much as we do!
So... I added 2 leftover baked potatoes (chopped), and a red pepper that was starting to wrinkle. It still didn't seem like very much food, so I looked in the fridge... and found some uneaten french fries and a big chunk of chicken breast. I chopped them roughly and threw them in. I then added some garlic powder, a bit more salt and freshly cracked black pepper (I season as I go), and a few bits of tomato... and then snipped and added in some freshly chopped basil from the glass in our kitchen window.
Suddenly this pan of leftovers was overflowing with crispy goodness. It was smelling amazing and I realized I didn't even need to make any eggs to go with it, because it tasted delicious!
What do you like to eat on a Sunday morning?
