So I just had possibly the best breakfast that I’ve ever eaten and, believe it or not, it came out of my own kitchen. A couple of weeks ago I’d picked up some organic fig preserves and had yet to open them. Yesterday I bought a loaf of organic flax seed and date bread that’s very crusty like a ciabatta. I had a hankering today to toast that bread and slather it in preserves and decided that I needed some protein too. So I rounded up some other ingredients picked up fresh yesterday and got to work. I lightly sauteed some small-minced shallot and garlic. While that was working I whipped together a pair of eggs with some milk, then poured that over the layer of aromatics. Next I sprinkled some herbs de provence over the layer of egg, and finally topped the concoction with some crumbled goat cheese. When it was mostly cooked I folded it up like a taco, flipped it over to finish, and plated it. I damn near moaned in ecstasy when I took my first bite. And the toasted bread with preserves was the perfect match. It’s a good thing that I don’t have time to cook like that during the week.
