One of our good friends was in town from Chicago this weekend. We usually meet him out for breakfast/brunch on Sunday before he heads back across I-80; but this weekend I suggested he come over to our place for some home-cooked food before his journey.
I got this idea from another good friend when we ate at his house -- and it is amazingly simple.
Bagels, cream cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers. It is seriously refreshing. Normally I like to make some salty egg & pork breakfasts, or some sweet pancake/waffle/French toast offering. But this is super easy, and a really nice change of pace. I even tried that fancy preparation of the cucumber slices that I see at restaurants by slicing down with a peeler before running it through the mandolin.
Everything bagels and vegetable cream cheese is my preferred combination. The cool crisp vegetables are paired great with that seasoned bagel to make a great open-faced breakfast sandwich.
Of course I couldn't resist making some staples. This time I opted for Vermont maple syrup sausage links and my
skillet hash browns.
I tied it all together with some fresh-ground coffee, passion fruit juice, and champagne. Not a bad home offering, right?
