Easy Brekkie + Dinner

Had 4 eggs in the fridge that had to be consumed as the expiry is the next day. Want something simple yet suitable for breakfast and something for dinner. There were also some portobello mushrooms (3 to be exact) that I had to use too as its been sitting there for a while. Dislike cooking anything that requires too many condiments as I cannot possibly buy a bunch of lemon grass, a whole pepper or say a lemon just to suit the asking for a few slivers of lemon grass, 1 teaspoon of diced pepper or some lemon zest. What am I to do with the remainder? yeah so I always improvise with what I have and try to imagine the taste in my mind using whatever i have on hand.

So first I got rid of 1 egg making a Crustless Spinach Mushroom Quiche. Again making do cos i do not have time to make a crust. Guessimation at work!

1. Saute diced portobello mushroom (1/2 of it only as i am making a single portion for his brekkie) in butter
2. Add in frozen spinach in cream about a fist size worth and fry until its not as wet
3. Beat the egg in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of fresh milk, garlic salt and black pepper and shredded pizza cheese
   
4. Add spinach and mushroom mix and back at 180 deg cel for 25mins
   

Tah dah.......not too bad i say for my virgin attempt, tasted pretty authentic :D

Next I cooked rice. Unagi Don yum...my fav for a fast easy dinner

1. Saute remainder 2.5 portobello in butter (generous amt since i want to add to flavor the rice), dish and set aside
2. Cut the frozen unagi (yeah i always have frozen backups for days like that, cheap and good compared to fresh items that u have to force yourself to finish within 1-3days) into strips and fry with some yakiniku sauce
3. When the rice is ready, I add in the portobello in butter, some yakiniku sauce and soy sauce and mixed the rice
   
4. Dish and lay the unagi on top
5. Fry remainder 1.5 eggs each in a runny 85% cook state and lay it above.

nice!

Self-concocted Potato Gratin

had a big bag of potatoes from Gaint for only 75cents. Used half for the jap curry and the other half had me staring at it for 5 minutes. Then with some slight idea how I would like to have it roasted/baked and creamy, i came out with this winner dish which had the normally stingy with praise man give it thumbs up and asked for more =)

As i cook using guesstimation there are never accurate measurements, go by feeling ok

1. Mix in a bowl some japanese mayonaise (kewpie) and normal kraft mayonaise about 50% each
2. Add a small handful of shredded pizza cheese
3. Sprinkle some black pepper and rosemary, mix and taste, it can be slightly salty as potatoes are quite bland. Set aside.
4. Wash, peel and thinly slice the potatoes as thin as possible, the thinner the better, mine was about 1-2mm each
5. Fry it in olive oil till the edges are slightly browned
6. Lay alternate layers of the potatoes and the mixture in a bowl, do not have to be neat just try to have the mixture spreaded evenly so every bite gets some.
7. Bake on 180 deg celcius for 15 minutes

try it its fragrant and yet creamy. Yummz. You can also try to sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before baking. Ought to be nice too.
