The instructions are detailed on Serious Eats and I made only slight modifications:
- I didn't have a pound cake and wasn't going to buy one just for this purpose but I did have very thick slices of a sweet white bread. I fried that in the frying pan and sprinkled a mix of cinnamon and sugar on it.
- I used cream cheese frosting instead of buttercream because it's what I had leftover from a recent cake I made. Cream cheese frosting beats buttercream frosting out anytime anyway. I should have warmed the frosting a bit more so the consistency would have looked more like the sauce.
Oh Cadbury eggs do I have a use for you...
The breakfast "potatoes":
The gooey, melty, "eggs" atop the brownie "hams" and "English muffin":
The final plate - it looks so appetizing!
The dissection: the "English muffin" is a cake doughnut, the "ham" is a brownie, the "eggs" are Cadbury Creme Eggs of course, the "Hollandaise sauce" is cream cheese frosting, and the "breakfast potatoes" are pieces of white bread toasted with cinnamon and sugar.
It was a fun project! I was prepared to throw it in the trash but surprise (or maybe not), the BF wanted to eat it. Ew.
Did he eat it? What did he think? Pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteHe ate 1/2 and said it was "not bad." I think he enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Rich's type of food!
