EoMEoTE #4: Chorizo and rocket

#navbar-iframe { display: none; }

Sunday, February 27, 2005

I've been meaning to join in an EoMEoTE (End of Month Eggs on Toast Extravaganza) ever since I saw the first version way back in December last year. Eggs, toast... is this not the international brunch of choice? With limitless opportunities for culinary entrepreneurship? Brilliant, brilliant idea Anthony and Jeanne!

As usual though, time crept up on me so when I saw Julia's punctual post on her EoMEoTE for version #4 this morning, I shrieked and raced to the fridge to see what was available.

Toasted ciabatta with scrambled egg, chorizo and rocket

I love good chorizo.
I also love rocket.

Hello EoMEoTE #4!

I have always loved the taste sensation of chorizo oils soaking into crusty bread. This version had the bonus of spicy seared chunks of sausage contrasting with soft silky eggs and cut through with the peppery cleansing effect of rocket.

Mmm... Is it too early for sangria...?

And now you've got me hankering to race to the supermart to buy some chorizo!

Hi AG,

Both you and Julia are too punctual for this one! =P

I haven't even thought of what I was going to make yet. Hmmmm, better get moving! I need to run to the grocery store. I don't even have eggs in the fridge! =)

The chorizo looks yummyyyyyyy! I love rockets too. I like the nutty flavour in it. I love scramble eggs too. And I love sausage of any kind! This is just my type of breakfast...er..Actually I would have it for brunch.

Welcome friend, or as they say in Japan yokoso tamagochiAnd chorizo!

Pink Cocoa: you most certainly are OK, the event is most accepting of laziness and tardiness - it is part of the founding ethos. I think we've had an entry that was a month late.

Your dish looks lovely; I'm sure my husband is going to want this (not for me, what with being a vegetarian and all...).

Of course, there are some half-way decent veggie sausages on the market...and I love any excuse to eat eggs!
