Today in Food Fundamentals, we focused on breakfast. More specifically, pancakes & syrup, bacon & sausage, omelets, and eggs cooked to order. I learned three things today.
1. Making pancakes can be way too much fun with a squirt bottle. We made stars, hearts, even a palm tree!
2. I can flip eggs like a champ.
3. I never, ever want to be a breakfast cook.
For my omelet, I sauteed onions, mushrooms & spinach, then added the egg, seasoned it, and proceeded to cook the omelet. It was delicious! It's so easy to make eggs interesting (:
I also had never made pancake batter from scratch, and the recipe we used gave us very light and fluffy pancakes. The syrup was pretty good, but nothing like Vermont maple syrup! We added chocolate chips to ours (:
We made sausage patties using pork sausage,
fennel seed, crushed red pepper, and s&p.
I formed them into patties and cooked them on the griddle.
They turned out pretty good (:
We also cooked bacon in the oven at 350 F for about 15 minutes.
For my egg to order, I cooked a fried egg. They're my favorite! (:
Overall, today was a very good day! I now feel a lot more comfortable making breakfast food and will hopefully practice more at home.
Looks yummy! Especially those pancakes.
