Greens, an Egg and No Ham
This is another one of my go-to breakfast recipes that is my absolute favorite. I'm one who simply loves a savory breakfast, so this combination really satisfies my tastebuds. I also love that I can cook it one cast iron skillet and - for days when I'm really rushed - seriously eat it right out of the skillet! On days when I'm hungrier, I'll have a side of homemade granola or perhaps a mandarin / banana, etc. Also, even though you put the dollop of marscapone on the asparagus, once it begins to melt a bit and mix in with all the flavors of the dish, it is DIVINE on the egg as well! Oh and using coconut oil is a must!! The sweetness of it balances out the dish in my opinion.
Sweet & Savory "Vesper" Bread
When my boyfriend's German parents visit, I often run to the farmer's market and grocery store for a variety of sliced meats, hard & soft cheeses and spreads. It's common in his region of Germany for some meals to be served as a Vesper, a snack or meal of cheese, bread and cold cuts, and I've come to really enjoy it. There's no wrong way to put together your favorite combination, but this one is my absolute favorite. The key to it, however, is using the best quality ingredients you can find. Use an unsalted, European-style butter with a high butterfat content or raw honey from your local farmer. Homemade or fresh bread works well, but because of the bold flavors you'll slather on top, stale bread can be masked too.
Seasoned Sweet Potato Chips
There's a few notes about this recipe! I was on a mission to make the crisipiest BAKED sweet potato chips I could, and I feel I've succeeded. The spices can be played with, however, the method cannot. You need to use a mandolin slicer for even cuts; you need to bake these one batch at a time; you need to use the aluminum-parchment method; you need to space them away from each other; don't toss them in oil, the brushing is important. I've detailed all the steps below for easy follow-along. You're going to burn a few, especially the smaller ones; some will come out very crunchy, some will have a tiny bit of softness to them in the middle. Also, the longer you wait to serve them, the less crunchy they'll be, so whip up a batch to go with dinner instead of tomorrow's lunch! Sweet potato chips need salt, so don't be afraid of being a little heavy-handed with it. And most of all, have fun!
