Eggs - Comforting, happy, leisurely, fresh, satiating, rich, whimsical, enveloping, warm.... versatile.
That's what I think of and feel when I eat them. What do you they remind you of?
So I made breakfast one Saturday morning - Chipotle and scallion buttermilk bread, roasted poblano pepper, fried egg and goat cheese crumbles.
Simple, easy, homemade....
Perfect start to the day! :)
Chipotle and Scallion Buttermilk Bread
(adapted from the Basic Buttermilk Quick Bread recipe)
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup chickpea flour
1 T sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 chipotle pepper (preserved in adobo sauce but without sauce), diced fine
2 scallions diced fine
1 yolk
2 T lemon olive oil (or any good light, fruity olive oil)
Heat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a small 5 inch loaf pan.
Sift together all the dry ingredients together. Whisk together the wet ones. Add the wet to the dry and fold until just incorporated. Fold in the chipotle and scallions. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 or so minutes until just golden brown and it passes the toothpick test. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing and slicing.
