Sunday Breakfast: Egg & Onion Matzo with Cream Cheese

Andrew has come up with a breakfast meme. He wants to know what everyone had for their Sunday breakfast today!

I like lazy Sundays--waking up late, sitting with a big cup of coffee and catching up on my news (serious, frivolous and blogs). When my stomach starts to growl, I like a nice big breakfast, usually with eggs and sometimes some kind of breakfast meat as well.

Some Sunday mornings, however, I have no time to be lazy. This morning, for instance, I had a rehearsal at 9 AM. I work as a stage manager, which means that if a rehearsal starts at 9, I have to be there at 8:40 at the earliest to unlock and set up the space so that we can start at 9. Of course, all of this means that I spent my Sunday morning waking up at 7:15 AM.

While reading my e-mail and glancing at headlines, I needed something quick to eat that would still give me a boost of energy. Normally I have a yogurt, but I had bought some Egg & Onion Matzos in the Kosher section of Ralph's a few weeks ago and I wanted to try them out. I thickly smeared the Matzo (which invariably crumbled into several pieces) with Cream Cheese. It was delicious! The Egg & Onion Matzos are a little salty (with just a hint of spice from the Onion Flakes), so the Cream Cheese mellows them out nicely.

Even though I prefer to wake up at a normal hour on Sundays, this was quite tasty.

Oeufs brouilles aux crevettes

Scrambled eggs and shrimps

Yesterday afternoon I was down in the fourteenth, which means near a really nice, big fish store. So, wanting an easy dinner, I bought some already cooked shrimps (they were having a special) and decided to make scrambled eggs, since the Boy had bought quite a few eggs before he left. I also picked up some crunchy Chinese noodles to sprinkle on top for a change of texture. It all came out quite good, rather light, with the world's largest artichoke and a vinaigrette to make it into a balanced meal (or something). And a fruity white wine.

Oeufs brouilles aux crevettes

4 Eggs
2 tablespoons Milk
Salt and Pepper
Oil
2 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
250 grams cooked Shrimp, peeled
handful Chinese crispy noodles

Crack Eggs into bowl and beat, with Milk, until creamy. Add Salt and Pepper. Heat Oil in pan over medium heat until it spits when water is spritzed on. Lower heat to medium-low and pour in Egg mixture, stirring to keep it from sticking to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add Garlic and Shrimp, moving everything around, until shrimps are heated through. Remove from flame and crumble crunchy noodles on top. Serve.
