My absolute favorite breakfast has to be a sunny-side up egg, with a touch of spice of course. This breakfast takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish and is a healthy way to start your day. The ingredients consist of the following:
· eggs (1 or 2 per person)
· olive oil
· salt, pepper, turmeric or saffron, cinnamon
· romaine lettuce or endive
· diced fresh tomato
· your choice of bread (I use pita or sanghak)
Preparation:
Heat your non-stick pan and add a touch of olive oil, fry your egg sunny-side up for about 5 minutes on medium heat and add seasoning (touch of salt, pepper, turmeric or saffron whichever you prefer, and a bit of cinnamon gives a wonderful aroma). Be careful not to let the yolk turn hard, it is best to have the egg whites cooked and a soft yolk for dipping. I have recently started using one of those cute single-serving sized pan's and it works great, your guaranteed a perfect egg every time!
Prepare your breakfast plate with a few freshly washed leaves of romaine lettuce or endive, both provide a nice contrast of fresh crispness to the egg. Dice half a tomato into medium sized cubes or slices. I also like throw a bit of cheese in the mix; a slice of laughing cow or feta add's another great element to the dish.
Enjoy mixing all the flavors and making bit sized sandwiches with either pita bread or sanghak. If you prefer traditional toast you can also layer the ingredients and make an open faced breakfast sandwich. Every bite will be absolutely delicious and I guarantee you will never cook eggs the same old way. Have fun with it and give this recipe a try.
