I make a sausage and egg McMuffin clone, can also be done without the sausage.

Start cooking the sausage patties and eggs first, in a a little olive oil with an egg ring. Then start cooking the English muffins. I then assemble everthing and leave for about 5 minutes, which lets the eggs and sausage cool down and also the cheese melt.

Man that sounds great. Nice and simple.

Precook a batch of spiced red lentils ahead of time (cumin, cinnamon, garlic, and onion, cooked in chicken stock), then cook some scrambled egg in the morning and combine lentils, egg, some cheese, and whatever the fuck else in a breakfast burrito (tortilla needed).

Also works well with canadian bacon instead of sausage.

Poached Eggs.

Nothing simpler than boiled water and a toaster.

>>11040436
how the fuck did you miss the entire plate with the pepper

>>11040436
the process of making poached eggs seems so gross to me. What approach do you use?

>>11040455
The hot water / raw egg approach

Another recipe I got bored of but enjoyed for a while is scrambled eggs. I cook 2-4 eggs on a medium-low heat, stirring constantly. If you do it right, it first thickens, then suddenly gets a lot thinner. After getting thinner, it gradually thickens. When the temperature is right, it will be steaming a bit. You can then just keep cooking til it gets to the point you like them. I don't know the science for why it gets thinner at first, but it's very noticeable once you've seen it once.

I serve with salt, freshly ground pepper and parsley.

You surely need some meat. Here's an easy way to make god tier fried chicken:
>cut it in small (about 1-1.5 cm thick) pieces
>soak in soy sauce for a while
>you can leave it over night, it stays just fine in a fridge for a few days, just cover the bowl with food wrapper
>add some potato starch (corn starch should probably work as well)
>mix it well with your hand so all the chicken pieces are covered in this soy-starch cement
>fry it on high heat in whatever oil or butter you like
Starch creates very thin delicious crisp that seals all the taste inside.
You can replace soy sauce with any marinade you like.
Should take less than 10 minutes if you already have the chicken prepared.
Add some spices and side dish (spaghet, rice, salad, whatever).
Enjoy.

Kek

Because the egg is close to the edge of the plate

This is egg kino right here.

Anyone have experience with huevos rancheros like in OP's pic?

>>11040361
Make a 3-4 egg omelette or eat canned tuna. Serve with brown bread and coffee. There, perfect breakfast.

>>11040666
why so many eggs? 2 is fine.

>>11040639
Typically, huevos rancheros get beans, tortilla, pan fries, chile (or chili if you're texan) cheese and eggs on top.
Obviously you customize, many omit potatoes or chile (no chile makes it super boring imho), add some kind of meat, sour cream, avocado, extra side tortilla (corn on bottom, flour on side is popular). If your potatoes, beans and chile are pre- prepared it's quick and easy to assemble.

Yes I'm a mexican.

Three or more. Obey Satan, faggot.
OP, if you're not married, I recommend fast food. McDonald's McMuffin with sausage and cheese, or a Sonic supersonic burrito. Both are good. If you're in the SW, go to a taqueria and get some tacos. Chorizo and jalapeno salsa will wake you up.

>>11040361
Try something simple like A hard boiled egg, a piece of buttered toast, coffee, and some fruit.

>>11040436
how do you do the poached eggs m8? seems really fucking delicius

>>11042178
Bring a pot of water to the boil and reduce to a medium heat. Crack egg into ramekin dish or small cup. Get a spoon and stir the water to get it swirling and gently pour the egg in. Its all in the swirling. It keeps the egg together. Make sure the egg is cold. Put it in the freezer for a few mins before. Let it cook for about 4 mins for a cooked but still runny egg.

> chili
> no Ranchero sauce

How do you do to eat such heavy meals in the morning? How much time passes between the time you get up and when you leave home? How are you so hungry so early? Huevos rancheros or even a full English sound amazing but no way I can stomach all that just after waking up.

>>11044088
>Wake up at 5:30-6 am
>Shower
>Make and eat breakfast in half an hour, usually fried egg sandwich or just any kind of sandwich really
>Shitpost on my phone for a few minutes
>Grab food I made last night for lunch and get to work

I couldn't do it if I started earlier, but even with my 45ish minute drive I can make time for breakfast. Work in a machine shop

>>11044038
Not him but does adding vinegar do anything? I heard it helps keep the egg together better.

>>11044170
Its not necessary but it can help to keep an older egg together better in the pot.

>>11044164
Right. Seems you have too much time during the mornings. That's great. I usually wake up at 6:30, have some coffee and a toast and grab the bus at 7:15. I could wake up earlier but I really like sleeping.
>45 minutes drive
Sounds awful

>>11044170
If you want to have a perfect poached egg every time, all you need to do is put your eggs in a fine, wire-mesh strainer and swirl them gently. This process gets rid of the "loose" whites that fuck up a poached egg, and only retains the "tight" whites that have a beautiful ovoid shape. Just lower them into the pot of water from the strainer — no swirling or vinegar necessary.

a 45 minute commute is quite common in the US. Some people drive an hour and a half or upwards of two hours back and forth each workday, just to live in the suburbs and not in the city. The same people will tell you how much they love black/ brown people even though they choose to live 2 fucking hours away from them.

>>11040361
Scrambled eggs (2), breakfast sausages (2), piece/bowl of fruit.

Whole thing can be done in 15 minutes and won't leave you with a precipitous drop in blood sugar after an hour (unlike cereal or toast or pancakes).

>>11040361

bagel, mayo/mustard, fried eggs, sliced cheddar cheese, bacon optional
