This Week’s Recipe: The English Breakfast Situation
Surprise, surprise, surprise! I got a new cookbook called The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy! and of course, I needed to share a few of my faves from inside with you guys!
The first of which, renamed in our household to the English Incident (because I was trying to recall Mrs. Drummond’s title and nearly nailed it), this recipe is indeed super easy and very tasty! It’s also one you should only indulge in when you know lunchtime is going to be late or when you’re going on a hike and need a lot of fuel to sustain you — because while it’s super easy, it makes A LOT of food, even when pared down a bit.
(This is not a complaint, just an observation — FYI.)
Now, because I made this for dinner (the best time for breakfast dishes, IMHO), I tweaked the recipe just a bit: omitting the bacon entirely, used smoked apple & chicken sausages, and as my pantry was bereft of fresh parsley, I used a couple of handfuls of peas (we’d just picked from the garden) instead.
I also used one less egg, one less sausage, and slightly increased the amount of mushrooms. (Because we love them so.)
And it turned out beautifully! A great one-pan wonder that takes less than twenty-five minutes to whip up.
(Hopefully, the Pioneer Woman won’t mind the rejiggering of her recipe!)
Christie: Honestly, I can see any of Agatha Christie’s detectives loving this breakfast as it’s just a slight twist on a Full English!
