On
Sunday morning hubby got up bright and early (by which I mean
6.30am!) to go and play golf, so it was just Wee One and I relaxing
and enjoying the sun streaming through the windows. Generally I'm not
a breakfast person....during the week I have a quick bowl of cereal,
bircher or grab a slice of toast but things change on the weekend
which is when I really enjoy breakfast. Normally on a Sunday we
always have a brunch but since it was just the 2 of us (and Wee One
had already had his usual feast of cereal, yogurt and a ton of
fruit!) it didn't seem right but then I remembered a recipe I had
seen in Thomasina Miers book Mexican Food Made Simple for what she
calls “The Great Mexican Breakfast”. It looked amazing and the
only reason I hadn't made it before was because of Mr. Vanilla's
fussiness for tomatoes and the fact that there can't be any “chunks”
whatsoever! It was the perfect time to make it.....a little
self-indulgence and a yummy breakfast for myself while he was
enjoying himself on the golf course. This isn't a breakfast for when
you are in a rush as it takes 30 minutes for the sauce to cook and
reduce but it is so worth it...(and lets be honest, how long does it
take to cook some bacon or sausages?!) All I can say when I ate it
was “Wow!” and then wanted to rewind time and eat it all over
again! The crisp and golden tortilla with the spicy tomato sauce, and
perfectly fried egg with the runny yolk was the ultimate combination
and is quite possibly my new favourite breakfast! Actually it is my
new favourite breakfast and therefore I thought the perfect recipe to
post just in time for mother's day because if your mum (or yourself!)
likes spicy Mexican food then this is the ultimate breakfast to treat
her to....you won't be disappointed and neither will she. And of
course so that I could share this recipe with you, I had to have it
again on Monday so I could snap a quick pic before devouring it
again.....it's a tough job!
