Just thought I'd do a post on one of my ultimate brunches!
This is one of my favourite breakfast, lunch, brunches to make on my day off, preferably on a Sunday when it's lovely and sunny and warm outside,.....very surprisingly for Dublin in November!
But the reason I love it is because it's easy and very tasty, if you like salmon and eggs, you'll absolutely love this! And it's not too crazy in calories either! It's actually really good for you!
This was actually a Gordon Ramsay recipe that I saw on one of his cooking shows, and thought it looked yummy so I took note and tried it out!
Ingredients:2/3 Slices of Salmon
2 Eggs
2 Croissants (1 day old preferably)
Milk - 2 taplespoons
Butter - 1 knob
Salt - a pinch
Cooking Oil - 1 tablespoon
Equipment:
Frying Pan
Microwaveable Bowl
Knife
Fork
Tongs
Method:
(1.) So first things first cut up both croissants into 4 sections width ways
(2.) Throw away the ends of the croissants
(3.) Pour 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into a frying pan and then leave there until we need it later
(4.) For the scrambled egg, crack the 2 eggs into your microwaveable bowl, add about 2/3 tablespoons of milk, a knob of butter and a pinch of salt into the bowl. (you can add other ingredients if you want, such as onions, peppers, scallions, ham, etc)
(5.) Mix all of the ingredients in your bowl around and then put into the microwave for 1 minute on high.
(6.) Take out the bowl after 1 minute, mix around the contents and then put it back in the microwave for another 1 minute.
(7.) While your scrambled eggs are in the microwave, you can turn on your frying pan on the heat, a low heat is best.
(8.) Place the cut up croissants into the frying pan, the cut side down, as you are going to fry both sides of the croissants sections.
(9.) Once the first side of the croissants is nice and fried or golden, (not burnt), turn them all over with your tongs and fry the other side. ( these cook very quickly so make sure to keep an eye on them).
(10.) Once the croissants are fried on both side, you can take them out of the pan and place them on your plate.(11.) You can now cut pieces of salmon for yourself and place these on your plate along with your fried croissants.
(12.) Your scrambled egg should be done now as well, now depending on how you like your scrambled, 2 minutes should be enough for fluffy egg, if you like it runnier, then leave it in for 30 seconds less than I said above. So if it's at the point you like it, then take it out of the bowl, and put it onto your plate with the croissants and salmon and your ready to eat!
(13.) I would also make a cup of tea as well to go with my breakfast/brunch (but that if you're a tea lover like me).
I hope you enjoy this, I really love this on a crisp summer or even autumn morning with a lovely warm cup of tea, and a good book, so I hope you guys like it too. Enjoy!
