LET'S START AT THE BEGINNING


I am obsessed with breakfast.  If I don't have a well prepared meal to start my day, I am miserable all day.  I am not a morning person, so I appreciate a breakfast that is easy to prepare and easy to cleanup after.  I am very anal about my eggs.  My wife makes perfect scrambled eggs, but eggs in any other form she leaves to me because I am an absolute tyrant about both presentation and taste.  

  • After many years I have mastered the two egg omelet in two languages, the rolled French omelette and the folded Japanese tomagoyaki. 
  • Perfectly poached eggs can be mastered freehand in a saucepan of rapidly swirling water, in a dedicated pan, or 4.5 minutes in shell (soft boiled),
  • Fried over easy are actually no flip over easily accomplished by adding two tbsp water and cooking the eggs covered over medium heat for 4 minutes.
