Breakfast Cookery - Eggs and more Eggs

A rumor was floating around that sometimes your Chef gave you the day off after the Garde Manger Banquet. I was holding out some hope that after we took the written final this morning that Chef would tell us goodbye - go have a nice weekend.
Wrong. It was just a rumor. We waited all of five minutes after the written final then began Breakfast Cookery.
I'm glad I grabbed my apron and hat before I left this morning. I almost didn't then must have had an intuitive flash that we would be moving forward without a pause. I even threw in my new syllabus and recipes just in case. It was a good move.

By the time we had watched three demo on cooking an egg over easy the banquet was all but a distant memory.

First we made shirred eggs (right), A baked egg dish with ham , cheese, and a little cream. Delicious. Next, a southwest scramble then a garden frittata (below). For the duration of the class I proceeded to break egg after egg trying to achieve the perfect over easy. It's not easy without a spatula.

The boys in my class are happy to be eating breakfast, I on the other can skip breakfast altogether.....

Oh wait maybe not. Tomorrow we are making corn beef hash and poached eggs.
One of my all time favorite comfort meals.

Goodnight.
