Breakfast Burgers



In my post on potato pancakes, I talked about the elaborate breakfasts that we whip up together on weekends. Here is one of those. There’s equal participation from S in this and the omelette is in fact his creation. We can’t dream of making such stuff for breakfast on a working day, but a weekend is a completely different story.



To break away from the usual omelette, hash browns and juice/milkshake combo, we decided to make burgers. We had some buns lying in the house and so I got this great idea. The burgers weren’t the greasy, mayo filled burgers that one gets outside, but they were rich on the whole. And they kept us going for the next 5-6 hours.




For the omelette:

4 Eggs
2 Onions, finely chopped
1 Tomato, finely chopped
1 Capsicum, finely chopped
1 tsp Green Chilli Paste
1 tsp Mixed Herbs (Oregano, Parsley, Basil)
1 tbsp Coriander, chopped
Salt to taste
½ cube Low Fat Cheese, grated





For the Hash Brown Patties

1 cup Potato, grated
1 Onion, finely chopped
¼ tsp Green Chilli Paste
½ cube Low Fat Cheese, grated
¼ tsp Mixed Herbs (Oregano, Parsley, Basil)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Butter/Olive Oil for frying

2 Burger Buns

Beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Heat some butter/oil in a frying pan and pour this mixture gently into the pan. Cook for a few minutes and flip over carefully. Cook on the other side for a couple of minutes. Remove from fire and keep aside.



Pat the grated potato on a towel until dry. Place in a bowl and mix the other ingredients with the potato. Form small patties and shallow fry in a pan using a little oil. Cook these on a slow flame so that the patties are evenly cooked.


Slit the burger buns in two. Apply a little butter to the cut side of the buns and toast on a griddle.



To assemble:



Take the lower half of each bun and place a piece of the omelette on top. Place the hash brown patty over this and cover with the upper portion of the bun.


Presenting your weekend brunch indulgence.



Off this goes to dear Kanch of Married to a Desi as my entry to WBB # 16.



And I have a long way to go before I start taking good pictures. But that’s not going to stop me from participating in the photography event hosted by blogosphere’s favourite couple. All my pictures, unless otherwise specified, are taken using the still picture setting of my small palm sized handycam: The Samsung Miniket VP M2100. Unlike most of my fellow bloggers, I use a 2.1 megapixel camera to take pictures. (I do have some pictures taken using a 3.2 megapixel Kodak camera as well.)



This last picture of the burger is the one I like best and I am sending this to Jai and Bee of Jugalbandi for their Click event.
