When I woke up Sunday morning J was no longer sleeping. I looked at the clock a little surprised that J was out and about around 8:30am. I could hear him puttering around downstairs and remembered that we were out of coffee cream. That explained everything….. J cannot have coffee without cream so his entire motivation for getting dressed so early was because he needed coffee cream and didn’t want to go to the store in his PJ’s.

He came into the bedroom while I was still trying to shake the sleepy head feeling and told me that he also bought bacon. Sometimes J cooks for me, but most of the time its me who cooks.  I cook, he cleans and we’re both okay with this.

I was sort of hoping that since he was already up and awake that he would take over the breakfast duties but instead he told me to do my thing….which I think meant “create something delicious”.

I love grape tomatoes. They’re sweet little explosions of flavor that come in a cute little carton. Add grape tomatoes to your breakfast is a great way to start off the morning. A simple poached egg can also go so far and tastes so good.

 

 

I took a plain bagel out of the freezer and topped it with goat cheese, chopped tomato, a made a black pepper vinegrette. I didn’t measure, but its simply extra vigin olive oil, white wine vinegar, lots of pepper and a bit of honey.

 

Once the poached eggs were done I added a tad more vinaigrette and chopped parley. I forgot the parsley when I took a photo.

 

Yum! How can something so simple taste so good? I ask myself this all the time! I love how simple ingredients can just added together to create a delicious breakfast.

After making this I found some really similar recipes online and Bobby Flaw actually has done this as well. Of course his is fancier, with a baguette instead of a bagel and heirloom tomatoes, topped with arugula and the addition of tarragon to the vinaigrette but my way is also amazing!
