Corned Beef and Eggs for Breakfast

Oftentimes, mothers experience hard times thinking of what's for next day's breakfast. I just want to share my breakfast just the other day. It's not something different but fairly quick and easy to prepare. It's just an ordinary fried egg and corned beef :). 

To some people this may not be an appetizing breakfast. But my kids love it. As you would see in the picture, I sprinkled basil on the fried egg. I love basil and it will give a distinct flavor to your fried egg. Try it and try this with a hot cappuccino (see the cup in the picture?).

Apologies, I really am in a hurry that morning when I took the picture. I really haven't got the chance to set food in a  presentable manner :)


This breakfast is very easy to prepare. Those who know how to cook may find this post uninteresting. But guys, I created this blog for everyone, especially to those who wants to learn to cook :). 

What you will need:

for the fried eggs

• 3 pcs - large eggs
• Iodized salt
• Dried basil (see the bottle in the picture)
• 3 tbsp - cooking oil

for the corned beef

• 1 can - corned beef (I used "Highlands" for this recipe)
• 1 pc - red or white onion
• 4 cloves - garlic
• 1/2 tsp - ground pepper

Preparation:

• Prepare all the ingredients needed before you start cooking.
• Peel the garlic and mince.
• Peel the onion and cut in rings

Cooking:

Egg

• Heat the oil in a pan. Just maintain a very low heat as eggs are quick to cook.
• Fry the eggs one at a time.
• Sprinkle just a pinch of salt on each egg.
• Depending on your preference, you may cook the egg until the yoke solidifies.
• Serve in a plate and sprinkle dried basil.

Corned beef

• Use the remaining cooking oil in the pan for sauteing the garlic. 
• Saute until golden brown and set aside.
• Saute the onion rings. (I like semi-cooked onions). Set aside.
• Saute the corned beef.
• Sprinkle the ground pepper. 
• Take note that some corned beef may be juicy. For my kids, they love it dry and a bit crispy. You may decide to retain some of the corned beef's juice. It's really up to you.
• Serve in a small bowl or plate. Put the onion rings and fried garlic on top of your sizzling hot corned beef and you're done.

Quite easy isn't it?
