Poached eggs on milk & toast - how to make even better?

Post by Martoon »

Here's one of my favorite breakfasts. I like it because it's quick and easy (yes, I'm an American), it's yummy, and it's great comfort food.

I put some milk in a bowl, break a couple eggs into the milk, and put it in the microwave for a couple minutes (long enough to cook the eggs). While it's nuking, I put a couple slices of bread in the toaster. When the eggs/milk are done, I break up the toast into it, add some butter and salt, hack up the eggs with my spoon, and consume.

I won't post a picture, because it's one of those things that tastes fantastic, but looks like an alien cesspool.

I still love this breakfast, but I have it so often I'm trying to think of a way to mix it up a bit. Anything I could add for flavoring that would work?

Don't the eggs explode in the microwave?

Not when they're broken into the milk. I also break the yolks, just to help them cook all the way through.

Brown Sauce or Branston Pickle:)

Admittedly, if you're not in the UK, sourcing either of those could be complicated!

If you pierce the yolk, eggs don't explode in the microwave.

Curry powder.

But cheese generally makes everything better (unless you're like Yak, and don't care for it ;))

I don't even know what Brown Sauce or Branston Pickle are. :wink:

Worcester sauce... Hmmm, I'll have to try that.

Curry powder, red chillies... I'm not sure. I actually thought of putting in a little Tobasco this morning, but it just didn't seem right with the whole milk and butter flavor (with the soggy toast, it's kind of like a bread pudding). But maybe I'll give something like that a try next time.

One of my great munchie inventions was sweet omelettes.

Try adding a spoon of castor sugar to it and grating nutmeg on top. It'll be
like a sort of dropped custard tart.

Now that sounds good. Maybe I'll throw a few raisins in there, too.

I was going to suggest golden syrup or honey, maybe maple syrup?
