Hear me out on this. If you’re thinking about making scrambled eggs, or poached eggs, or really any kind of eggs for breakfast, why not deviled eggs?
I’m serious. Devilled eggs are elegant, delicious, and everyone’s favorite snack at any big family gathering. For breakfast all you need to do is boil 8 eggs, cool them in cold water, peel them*, slice them in half, take the yolks out, put a little salt, pepper, and mustard powder and then mash them with mayo. The amount of mayo you use is up to you.
You don’t have to get all fancy and get out the piping bag. Just spoon the filling into the egg halves, sprinkle a little paprika or cayenne on top (or a dash of hot sauce, or a dash of Aardvark sauce, or whatever you want) and arrange them on a plate. When you bring that plate of deviled eggs out to your family, I guarantee that their eyes will get as big as saucers.
You can get fancy if you want. I’ve seen all kinds of garnishes and additions to the egg mixture: prosciutto, bacon, tapenade, micro-greens salad (ugh), tiny salsa, (less expensive) caviar (seriously, eggs on eggs is weirdly good), chimichurri, fresh pesto, sriracha mayo, I’ve even had deviled eggs with a criss-cross of okonomiyaki sauce (and they were amazing).
In fact, invite the whole family into the kitchen, open the fridge and see what sauces you have just waiting to be thrown out. Make 16 eggs and try all the sauces!
In Arsenal news:
Arsenal signed the scrambled eggs of defenders, Rob Holding, to a new contract. Congrats to him, we need British players.
And that’s all the actual Arsenal news there is to report. I have of course heard the rumors that Wilshere was offered a bigger deal and that Arsenal are going to poach Zeljko Buvac from Liverpool. The only thing I know about him is that 1) his nickname is “the brain” 2) someone on the Guardian pod said that he and Klopp had a falling out 3) Liverpool are now saying it’s not a falling out but Buvac’s dad is sick 4) it would be SO ARSENAL to sign Zeljko Buvac to replace Arsene Wenger and I’m glad I was first with the “Zeljko Who?” headlines.
Guardian, Mail, Sun, etc. if you want to use that headline when he signs for Arsenal, I will only ask for $1,000,000 as it is now copyright @7amkickoff and cannot be used without the express written consent of me.
*There is a science to getting peelable eggs. The only thing that works 98% of the time is 1) boil water 2 lower cold eggs into the boiling water 3) boil for 10 minutes 4) rinse with cold water. I have a pot that came with a steaming basket that I use just for this purpose but you could just use a slotted spoon. That’s the secret.
