Meet My Breakfast

This is a 4 egg omelet stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and Calamungay leaves.

Ok. Since this is my first food/cooking post ever, I'm sure it will be rather pedestrian (lame) - to say the least!

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh mushrooms (of your choice)

I chose:

Maitake...

and Black Wood Ear.

Chopped onions and Garlic...

And the rest:

• cooking oil (I like Virgin Olive oil)

• salt and pepper

• sesame seeds

• chopped Calamungay leaves (or spinach)

• vinegar

• butter

• white rhum (or choice of alcoholic drink)

• cheese (optional)

• hot sauce (optional)

Cooking?

I'm ass-uming that most know how to make an omelet.

Today's breakfast simply was a 4 egg omelet that was stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and topped with cheese and hot sauce.

Sauteed Mushroom Tips

• Blanch all polypore mushrooms (e.g., Hen of the Woods, Berkely's polypore, black stain polypore, etc.) and any mushroom that has a slimy cap (i.e., Honey mushrooms).

• Brown mushroom bottoms thoroughly in cooking oil (resist stirring for the first 2-3 minutes).

• Add vinegar or wine for flavor soak.

• Add butter AFTER browning in cooking oil (prevents burnt butter).

• Add seasonings before the last step...

• Last Step: De-glaze with your favorite alcohol.

(Note: A few drinks when cooking, singing and dancing is cool!)

About the Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
