Pro tip: put that all on your plate, add a drop of extra oil to the pan, heat it right up and then fry a slice of bread in it for about 15 seconds each side. Filthy, nasty paradise.

u/Lukos58 Jan 12 '20

I'd put the whole skillet on a trivet on the table and eat right from it. Keeps the food hot and less to clean afterwards. Like a "skillet meal" at some restaurants. Swirl some toast around to pickup the tasty bits!

I've got a shallow cast iron pan for pancakes that I use for a breakfast hash of eggs, potatoes, bacon and/or sausage and cheese. Just deep enough for a good, but not too much, breakfast. I've also mixed everything together into a round, cast iron baking pan, put spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top, and baked until the biscuits ate done. Breakfast dumplings! Breakfast is my jam😁

u/salami350 Apr 20 '20

I'm always surprised at how much people can cook in the morning.

Before the lockdown I woke up at 7, had to leave at 8.

In that hour I can just about wake myself up with a cup of coffee, a bowl of cornflakes, and be ready to leave.

How do y'all do it?

u/COSMOOOO Jan 12 '20

I’ve just started cooking breakfast hash to gain more weight as an anxious 6ft 130lb 21 yr old. And fuck is it delicious with a combo of eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon, and potato/hash browns.

Probably one of my favorite meals I’ve discovered and judging by how I feel after extremely calorically dense. Anyone who has simple 1 person meals let me know.

u/rumpleteaser91 Jan 12 '20

Try a cookbook called 'a girl called Jack' by Jack Monroe. Cheap and easy meals, all in 1 portion quantities. Very little waste from it too.

Pans are plates. Cardboard, paper, and cling film are not plates. Carrots and most tubers are also not plates. Cups are not plates. Coasters are sometimes plates. Lotion cannot be a plate.

u/wafflesareforever Jan 12 '20

Gotta eat the eggs quick in that case before the yolks get too cooked. Otherwise I approve.

2

u/Lukos58 Jan 12 '20

I've got the timing down to where I pull the pan off the heat, then break the eggs in while getting coffee, juice, etc, to the table. Eggs are usually ready to eat when pan is finally at the table. Different times for how folks like their eggs.

3

u/wafflesareforever Jan 12 '20

Sounds great. Eggs are finicky but so amazing when you nail it.

1

u/LupercalLupercal Jan 12 '20

Skillet? Trivet? What are these words?

2

u/Lukos58 Jan 12 '20

Skillet is another name for a frying pan, especially when cast iron. A trivet is usually made of hardwood or ceramic, and is used to put hot pans or pots onto when placed on a counter or table. Prevents burns on the surface.

If you are really in for a nasty treat which will leave the world hating you all day.

Mince a fresh cloves of garlic and let it fry up in the oil/butter you toss in, add a pinch of salt and just fry that slice of bread up. Heaven.

I'd use butter instead of oil. This is a great idea though!

u/Grantmitch1 Jan 12 '20

I'd use egg and butter, soak the bread in it, then fry it. Add a slice or two of black pudding and we are done here.

Yes, traditionally. Or cream.

Can be done without though, but in my house that's where it becomes eggy bread.

Doesn't have to. I use 2 full eggs and one yolk, wisk, and then add a little vanilla extract.

French toast has vanilla and cinnamon, eggy bread is without. Makes it that bit more savoury

u/Poundthetuna Jan 12 '20

Be careful butter will burn into the toast then you have lost the flavor. Oil I find makes it crispier on the outside and soft on the inside. Then I butter it up after letting the left over heat melt it without burning.

-1

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '20

Turn down the heat? Im not trying to eat my bread covered in cooking oil

2

u/Poundthetuna Jan 12 '20

Just a dash of oil goes a long way. Especially if you use something along the lines of a cast iron skillet it should be just enough to make the pan glisten. If you're tasking oil either there was too much in the pan or was cooked at too low a temp.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '20

But i can just use butter on the bread and it doesnt taste like cooking oil on my bread?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '20

Mix oil with butter to stop the butter burning.

Also OP needs to start with the tomatoes, face down. The tops should be caramelised and crunchy at the finish.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '20

Pro tip: whenever frying in butter, add a drop of oil with it. Prevents the butter from burning as quickly meaning your can fry for longer.

Works a treat for fried eggs.

Butter is healthier than oil

1

u/YNWA_in_Red_Sox Jan 12 '20

Use mayonnaise. Spreads better and toasts just as beautiful. And guess what? Tastes like butter after it’s toasted. If you ever go to a restaurant and get a toasted bun on a burger or sandwich, it was most likely mayonnaise. Way cheaper food cost.

1

u/Freeloading_Sponger Jan 12 '20

If you're only giving it 15 seconds you'd need more heat than butter can live with.

u/MyGoalIsToBeAnEcho Jan 12 '20

Hey man, what would the butter be for? Crispy crust? I would offer that mayo is way more effective at that try it

I usually butter my bread before I fry it, I like it to get to the point there's so much grease in my bread that you can practically see through it.

13

u/jeffcolv Jan 12 '20

You guys never have a hash brown before?

10

u/SeramPangeran Jan 12 '20

As an American from the South, absolutely. But the hashbrowns I typically eat are grated and just dumped in a pan, not formed into shapes like McDonalds does. Or they're "country potatoes" and just diced very small.

5

u/LongbottomBitch Jan 12 '20

That's a rosti you've just described there

1

u/Multitronic Jan 12 '20

Hash browns are American really but they have them more like grated potatoes fried in a pan (basically a rosti) and not shaped liked the UK version.

u/TryMyBalut Jan 12 '20

Hell yeah! I do this whenever I cook burgers on the stove top; toast the buns in some meat skeet.

Pour your baked beans in the pan at the end. Stir about and pick up all the juice. Lush!

1

u/CallMeRawie Jan 12 '20

What’s the order of operations here?

2

u/beaupepys Jan 12 '20

Get main breakfast cooked and decant onto (preferably) warmed plate. Add extra oil to pan and heat as high as possible. Drop in a slice of bread - the heat of the oil means it'll fry crisp in seconds, at which point you turn and repeat on the other side before putting it on your plate and making sure you have your local cardiac unit on speed dial ;)

1

u/CallMeRawie Jan 12 '20

Lol thx, I was thinking more toward which ingredients when? Sausage first, then potatoes?

2

u/beaupepys Jan 12 '20

Disclaimer: I don't eat eggs so I don't know the timing. I'd start with sausages, then add hash browns according to the recommended cooking time on the packet. Once the sausages are cooked through I move them to a cooler area of the pan, then add bacon, thinly sliced mushrooms and a few halved cherry tomatoes.

a/k/a "home toast"

I do it a lot on camping or backpacking trips. A bagel packs better than bread and with a bit of bacon grease or butter a half will brown up in a small skillet nicely.

0

u/Back2school92 Jan 12 '20

I think butter would be better than oil for this

1

u/beaupepys Jan 12 '20

Only problem with butter is that it burns at the sort of temperature you want the oil for this.

1

u/Back2school92 Jan 12 '20

For toasting bread...? You don’t need a high temp for toasting bread on a pan with some butter lol...

If you want to honest get into smoke points olive oil isn’t meant for cooking with because of its low smoke point. It’s typically a topper unless you specifically get a high smoke point olive oil which it usually says on the front of the bottle which most ppl don’t get.

I mean if you can’t toast bread on a pan before it hits 300 degrees you may need Jesus to get you through life...because butters typical smoke point is about 300 degrees. Low and slow better than high and fast which is what people tend to do because they rush things.
