Mega-breakfast

Two food related posts in as many days? Has this become a foodie blog or something? No. But a guy has to eat. In this case, it's a breakfast of potatoes, mushrooms, bacon, onions, eggs and cheese. I don't whip up something like this very often because it leaves me with a bunch of pans and dishes to wash.

I started by dicing half a potato and putting it on to parboil. While I was waiting for that to cook, I diced some bacon. Diced bacon, you ask? Yeah. I cut quarter-inch strips off the end of the package of pre-sliced bacon. I also diced part of an onion and some mushrooms. Dice dice, baby.

I have only one burner, so things need to be cooked sequentially. I drained the cooked spuds and put them aside. Then I fried the bacon, adding onions when the bacon started to brown.

When the bacon-onion combo was done, I removed it from the pan, leaving the bacon grease for frying the potatoes and mushrooms. One good thing about cooking outdoors is that I can do the shake-and-flip thing with the pan and, if some of the bits go flying off, I don't have a floor to clean. I leave it for the critters.

Then I added the bacon and onions back to the potatoes to reheat. I put this high-fat, high-carb, high-calorie, high-flavor wonderfulness on a plate and fried up a couple of eggs. I put the eggs on top of the rest and sprinkled some grated mozzarella over everything. Too bad I didn't have any of the salsa verde left.

That should hold me until tomorrow. And give me plenty of energy to wash the dishes.
