Show us your breakfast (2025)

There's a local restaurant called La Casa Bistró , and the chef contacted me to do an Indian food festival.Had a meeting at the beginning of June, sent him about 40 dishes we could possibly make, and never thought much more about it. He contacted me when I returned from Atlanta and was very enthusiastic, so another meeting today. I rummaged through the freezer and took him some samosas, pakoras and vadas, plus my tamarind chutney, green mango chutney and Chettinad garlic pickle, just so he could try.
Surprise, surprise, there was another chef there for breakfast - a rising star, apparently - Issam Koteich - Cordero, so we all had breakfast together. Eggs, arepas, fresh cheese, homemade butter, crispy bacon,and a slice of sous-vide pork loin (yes, I know, I'm not really a meat eater) which was absolutely phenomenal. Lots of enthusiasm for the Indian festival, and Issam, who worked in Dubai for 10 years and is a super fan of Indian food, thought everything was divine.
Menu to be decided today or tomorrow, and we start practising Monday!

That's a great opportunity. Well done!
 
Pancakes (from the freezer) and scrambled eggs - unusual for me to serve pancakes and eggs together, though it’s the norm here when going out for breakfast. Diners have lots of set breakfasts, and it can sometimes be hard to find one that doesn’t include at least one pancake.
 
Now before you say anything, this is DH's plate and this is how he likes it

He likes his fried Eggs medium-hard yolks, he doesn't really care for a runny yolk, so therefore the edges get a bit crispy, but, that's what was ordered in my Kitchen.

I would gladly eat that!

I also have no issues with crispy edges to fried egg.

Yeah, I was more interested in 2 eyes, a unibrow, and a tiara of cut tomatoes...
