Scrambled Eggs:
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk or cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and add milk or cream. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter. Once melted, swirl it around the pan.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, moving from the edges toward the center.
- Scramble: Continue gently stirring, taking care not to overcook. Remove from heat when the eggs are still soft but fully cooked.
Perfect Banana Pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk (adjust for consistency)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Mash the Banana: In a large bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make the Batter: To the mashed banana, add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk together. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (don’t overmix; some lumps are okay).
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease with a little butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Keep Warm: Keep pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
Garlicky Grilled Sausages:
Ingredients:
- 4 large sausages (your favorite variety: pork, chicken, or beef)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (optional: rosemary or thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sausages: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the Sausages: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Toss the sausages in the garlic oil mixture to coat evenly. Grill the sausages, turning frequently, until they are browned and fully cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).
- Rest the Sausages: Once cooked, let the sausages rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Bringing it All Together:
Serve the fluffy scrambled eggs alongside a stack of warm banana pancakes drizzled with maple syrup or honey. Plate the garlicky grilled sausages on the side for a savory bite. This combination offers a balance of creamy eggs, sweet and tender banana pancakes, and flavorful, aromatic sausages.
