What are you having for breakfast?

I've been having lidl's nutty muesli all week. It's lush. Loads of nuts and dried fruit. Today I also had a lychee flavoured biscuit that a colleague brought back from Singapore - weird but not totally unpleasant.

Egg in a hole has been my go to for the past week, it's just so quick and easy. Plus, the neighbours gave us 2 dozen duck eggs...

Fold bread in half, take a big bite out of the centre, saturate in olive oil, drop in hot pan, crack egg into the hole. Add fresh herbs/salami/cheese whatever. Flip as required. Season. Nom.
 
Wikipedia reckons this is similar to white pudding but spicier / more seasoned, and some versions contain more offal so that they're more like haggis. Does that sound about right?
Yeah the one I get has nutmeg, pepper and coriander (can’t say I taste the last one)

Goes very well with brown sauce
 
My flatbread fell into my mug with the warming water while it was being freshened-up in the microwave so that was interesting ...
It turned out OK as it was so dry to start with - not sure if I'll dunk it every day - I certainly need a suitable stick to stop it reoccurring ..
Before I recommissioned the microwave I used to wrap them in a double thickness of foil with a little water on the hotplate...

New improved softening method ...
 
Could have a casserole butty I suppose.
As a kid we’d have cold mince¹ pieces² the next day. They were great. I sometimes make veggie mince so that I can still do that.




Footnotes:

1. Mince with mashed potato (tatties) was a standard meal in Scotland in my youth. I have since learned that it’s unknown in England where mince is only used in something. Not as the star.

2. A piece is a sandwich. C/f “butty” elsewhere.

I grew up on mince and tatties in England, but I did have a Scottish mam.
