It never really was. Honestly, when it comes to eating (which I love in all it's forms, save for maybe crow) one of my favourite things is breakfast outside of it's usual day part. Omelette for supper? Yes please! Finding a 24 hour greasy spoon for after hours bacon & eggs? Best kind!
Breakfast has been taking up a lot of space in my brain lately. Don't know why, don't care! Just know I like it. A friend of mine showed me a video the other day about an easy way to make omelettes. It doesn't require you to flip it. Instead, you toss it in the oven on broil. Clearly the guy in the video skipped Cooking 101 because that is called a frittata. Mmmm, frittata.
That lead me to a cool idea for frittatas. Instead of doing one big frittata in a frying pan, make a bunch of individual sized frittatas in muffin tins. If you are having a bunch of people over for breakfast, you can accommodate their personal tastes without it being too much of a hastle. Meatlovers, vegetarian, seafood.... the options are limitless. Here's the recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Muffin-Frittatas/Detail.aspx
As we get older, we forget some of the simple joys in life that we loved as children. One of those for me was going out for breakfast with the family. All the grown ups went for the standard fare of bacon & eggs. Nothing wrong with it but the ten year old version of me wanted nothing to do with it. Give me waffles or give me death! OK, I wasn't that dramatic but I loved waffles. I still do but sometimes I forget that. Not today though. It is International Waffle Day!!!! Do yourself a favour and remind yourself what it was like to be 10 and have waffles for lunch, for supper, whatever. Just make sure you enjoy!
PS: Here is the video of the jackhole that doesn't know the difference between omelettes and frittatas. He also made a couple of other rookie cooking mistakes in the video. Always make sure your frying pan is preheated and use water to thin out your eggs, not milk. Milk burns, water does not!
