Winter is a great time for a breakfast with a little more substance. Zac and Caitlin introduced us to this humble breakfast kicked up a notch with a little bed of arugula . Yes, it is definitely for those watching their weight as it will stick with you almost until dinner. And even if it doesn’t; it is good for your soul; it is comfort food. And it’s still winter.
First a bed or arugula topped with a freshly made biscuit. You might think that lettuce will do just as well. It will not.
Top the biscuit with sausage gravy made with a surprising simple combination of whole milk, flour, salt and pepper.
Multiply that by the number of people.
Then gently poach an egg in just under boiling water with a little salt and vinegar thrown in to help the egg keep its shape.
As a late breakfast, this will just about keep you full 'til dinnertime.
Looks like a winner to me!
Many in my family would love this and I have an Earthbox full of arugula.
You are fortunate, Shari, because on New Year’s Day where Caitlin and Zac live we wanted to repeat this Christmas breakfast and arugula was a never before heard of item in their grocery store. And turns out that absolutely lettuce will not do.
I think Miss Lisa B deserves a shout out as the one who introduced this to Caitlin. My husband still talks about this breakfast he had courtesy of her hard work one morning in Oregon. :)
Oh my goodness, I think this is my favorite meal and I haven’t even tried it yet. Must make very soon!! Thanks for sharing :)
Here, here! Lisa deserves credit for this, I think her addition of arugula was genius! I think I need to make this soon…. very soon.
Yep, Lisa is the ultimate house guest- home made biscuits before I even woke up Sunday morning! She certainly is lauded every time we make this dish!
