I love breakfast. But…I’m a big time breakfast hopper. I have spells where I love a certain thing, and have it every day for a few weeks and don’t fancy anything else. And then one day I hop to something else. And then have that every day. And so the cycle repeats. The last one was dark malt sour dough toast and honey. Had that every day for about 3 weeks and now I’m onto the next one.

So…This is my absolute favourite breakfast at the moment!

Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Eggs on a lightly toasted bagel with beetroot side salad. Just to clarify, salad for breakfast is weird. This is the ONLY instance that I find it acceptable!

So my challenge it to hand craft my own bagels. Tonight I had a little play around at my first batch. I want to get a base recipe and the techniques right so that then I can tweak it and add to it. I got all set up and then I heard the unmistakable scrapings of a chair being pulled along the floor which can only mean one thing. A small child is getting in on the act!

Well the result was something that looks like bagels, and smells like bagels. But the proof is in the pudding, isn’t it? Breakfast time tomorrow will tell me the truth as to whether I progress on my bagel journey or whether it’s over before it’s begun! I will report back! Watch this…hole?
