Breakfast Food

Breakfast is the hardest time for me. Normally I just want a bowl of cereal and I'm good. Now, though, I'm having to scrounge for stuff and my breakfasts come out so odd.

I'm sick and tired of eating eggs. I stopped liking the yolk years ago and after a few month stint where I made and egg and cheese sandwich for a snack every day after school, I've grown tired of eggs in general. So I'm looking for other ways to get protein.

But I did see somewhere someone talking about quiche. Now, I like quiche, yes it has egg yolks, but with the other flavors it's not very evident. Quiche would make a lovely breakfast meal. It might be the only thing you can have, depending on the serving size, but I'm sure it will satisfy you.

I love quiche like bacon, broccoli, and cheese. That's my favorite. But I also like the ones with spinach. So I'm going to see about making some mini quiche. Maybe bacon, cheese, and something besides broccoli, even though I love it so!

Also, I was thinking that crepes would make a wonderful breakfast. They're thin and the batter usually has quite a bit of egg in it. My favorite crepe I've ever had was this one at a stand at the Portland, Oregon farmers market called C'est Ci Bon (mean's something like It's So Good, C'est means it is and Bon means good, so even not really knowing what Ci means you can get the gist of the title).

Anyways my sister got this crepe that had melted cheese, bacon, onions, and mushrooms in it. On top they added some salad greens. The crepe was thicker than I had in French class and was folded into a nice square package, encasing all the deliciousness inside. It was amazing! I did love my crepe of lemon curd with sliced strawberries and whipped cream on top, but the savory crepe was definitely the best. I wish I could have it again.

But crepes are delicious with fresh fruit or some canned stuff. I really enjoyed the one I had in French class with canned peaches and whipped cream. It was so light and fresh tasting. It didn't overpower the taste buds (neither did the savory crepe at the farmers market, though) but wasn't so light as to where you felt like it was pointless to eat.

Just thought I'd put these up here as an idea.

Oh! Beware crepes that seem rubbery. Those have way too much egg in the batter and are a pain to eat. There's a crepe vendor where I live who will sometimes be at the farmers market but I usually see them at the fair. I was not happy with their crepes at all. I was extremely disappointed. The egg was so evident in the crepe that I was having a hard time eating it. But I ate that stupid thing because fair food is way too expensive here. I couldn't even roll the thing up and eat it because it was just rubbery and didn't do right. And the presentation was definitely a 1 out of 10. It looked like an oversized thin omelet to me. Definitely not worth it.
