| Whats your favorite meal to make? I'm looking for new breakfast ideas to make the guys and figured I would ask here. |

Our big breakfast for the 6 person shift back in the day was 2 pounds of bacon, 2 pounds of sausage patties, 3 eggs each, 2 pieces of toast and "40 weights", which was the better part of a 10 pound bag of potatoes sliced and fried in the bacon grease with a little salt and pepper - and a hint of cigarette ash if Gino was cooking.
Baking the bacon on cookie sheets allowed mass production in our apartment sized kitchen. |

Eggs and Bacon. Idk why anyone is interested in variety; my partner and I have that every morning.
You could change it up by making "banana cakes". Blend eggs, banana, maybe a dash of cinnamon. Walnuts if you want. 3 eggs for every banana. 1 banana per person. Melt butter in a large dish, preheat oven to 350, pour in mixture and bake until it looks done. Top with syrup or berries. SERVE WITH BACON. ;) |

Frittata has been my go-to breakfast at home lately. This will do a 10" cast iron skillet perfectly:
4-6 slices bacon, diced 1 medium onion, diced 1 green pepper, diced optional: 1 firm tomato, diced 6-8 large eggs splash milk salt/pepper shredded cheese Preheat oven to 400F. Crack all the eggs into a large bowl, add milk, salt and pepper, whisk or blend well. In a cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon to "just crispy", then set aside to drain. RESERVE 1-2 TBSP GREASE. In the leftover grease, add the peppers and onions and sautee over medium heat until the onion is just starting to get tender. Add the bacon back into the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, give it one quick stir with a spatula, and then DON'T TOUCH IT. Let it cook until just setting around the edge. Scatter the cheese over the top, and transfer the whole pan to the oven. Bake ~10 minutes, until the egg is set all the way through and the cheese is melted. |
