What's for Breakfast?

Diced Italian sausage browned and scrambled up with eggs, along with grits.
 
Didn't get pictures, but yesterday we made cheese biscuits (recipe below) and sausage gravy with a pound of sausage from a local farm and some eggs from the backyard chickens.

The cheese biscuits were inspired by this thread: https://carolinafirearmsforum.com/index.php?threads/biscuits-anyone.115165/

Put 2-1/2 cups of flour in a bowl. Mixed in about a TBSP of baking powder and 1/2 TSP baking soda and about 1/2 TSP salt. Then added an 8oz bag of frozen shredded cheddar cheese and about 1/2 cup of parmesan. Stir. Add buttermilk and mix till it comes together, remember try to not get it too wet. Put a little flour out on counter, press dough and fold a couple of times, and then cut biscuits. Preheat oven and heat a large cast iron skillet in the oven. Place biscuits on hot cast iron and bake at 425 for about 12 minutes. Came out delicious.
 
Kept it simple this morning… country link sausage (from Smith’s Red and White… if you know, you know!) and some fried eggs over easy..

I made a gringo's version of huevos rancheros this week. I really enjoyed it. A lightly pan-fried tortilla, a couple eggs over easy, some Mexican cheese, some pan-warmed salsa (not mine, from a jar). I did not have refried beans, but I will add that to my next version.

I'm liking the cook on those eggs.

I no longer hardboil, unless I'm pickling them.

If you want your eggs to be delicate with tender and flaky whites and semi-soft yolk , it has to be simmered, not boiled. First - do not store your eggs in a fridge. they do not need it. It has to be @ room temperature. Here is what you do: bring water to a boil, insert eggs, and turn heat to simmer (minimum possible). 5 min - running yolk, 7 min - soft yolk, 8-9 min - hardest stage. soon, it ready, transfer it to ice water. enjoy!
actually, Eggs are the most difficult product to cook properly. when Chef's have a test for a Job. Most of the time they've been asked to cook Eggs.
 
Shortly after arriving in Texas 3 years ago, I had a craving for a country ham biscuit. We do not have a Bo Jangles anywhere around and any other fast food place either doesn't have ham or they have city ham. So, I check out the grocery stores. No country ham anywhere. I asked and no one knew what I was talking about.

My 90 year old neighbor knew what it was. Her and her husband and kids used to travel during the summer. She said they were on the Blue Ridge Parkway and they bought a ham. She baked it like any other ham and said it was too tough and salty to eat. LOL This was in 1964 when she , her husband, and two sons took their new VW Karman Ghia to the World's Fair in New York.

So, I reach out to my brother in Galax and he hooks me up with a few packs. When I ran out of those near the end of November I asked him to send me more. When he sent Christmas presents, he included 12 packs of country ham.

This morning I fried up a pack and fixed some biscuits. Good ol' warm and salty goodness!! We may be the only people in the state having country ham this morning.

This morning, sausage, scrambled eggs, buckwheat cakes with sausage gravy. Sausage is from a wild pig my nephew harvested, eggs from another nephew's chickens, sausage gravy is a creation from my lovely wife, buckwheat flour is Cherokee from King Roller Mills in King, NC. A breakfast fit for royalty!

Yep.............and that rusty looking residue from the country ham in the bottom of that frying pan is ready to be converted to "liquid gold" so it can be poured over eggs, biscuits, flour bread, grits, etc. etc. Ask me how it know.
