T.W.O.R.G.B. - Birthday Breakfast






 Hm, this is a little delayed, but The Week of Really Good Breakfasts came to a close last Sunday on my birthday!  It was a toast buffet (I love toast), and featured avocado with poached eggs, and ricotta and jam. Pretty simple because I had to come up with a dinner that would feed about 20 people later that night, but simple things are often the best.  If you have trouble poaching eggs, what I always do is bring the water to a boil, crack an egg into a bowl, and then hold the bowl very close to the surface of the water and let the egg slip in.  I let them cook a little longer than I would expect every time, until they start to take a definite shape and the yoke section is maleable to the touch, but not completely relaxed, and then take them out with a slotted spoon and pat off the extra water.  The whites are firm and the yolk is still runny, but not undercooked.  That's the way I like 'em, anyway.  I've decided to continue with T.W.O.R.G.B. because it's so delicious, but it has to be a little less intense, so I will just do a weekly breakfast post.  There are lots more recipes to try :)
