Second Monday in a row that I am splurging on breakfast: French Toast last week and the most technicolor breakfast that I have had in a long time with these Deconstructed Breakfast Burritos this week. I wanted to get in another “Spring Veggie” dish for the Bake/Cook-a-long (you have until midnight today, if you are playing along!), so I started with spinach pancakes, which are actually really really yummy, but are almost too vibrant! Fill it on up with other breakfast ingredients: rice, beans, tomatoes, avocado, spring onion and more spinach … and a fried egg for good measure. I had intended to roll the whole thing up or fold to a square, but I only managed to fold it like an omelette. A great breakfast and a technicolor feast for the eyes!

Springtime Lunch: Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus is a pretty classic combo and I happen to have Prosciutto in the house, so decided to go with a quiche for lunch. My quiche attempts have been hit-or-miss in the past, with some of them turning out quick dense. This one was light and fluffy though, and which a touch on the salty side (I should have compensated for the saltiness of the Prosciutto more), it was great. The recipe is written for a full-sized quiche (9 inch pan), but I just made a small one for me (6 inch pan). Lunch for tomorrow then too!
Unholy (adjective)
Definition #1: sinful. wicked. godless. blasphemous. sacrilegious. profane. heathen. irreligious. nontheistic.
Definition #2: lacking in holes
We’re going to go with definition number 2, please. These bagels are unholy. They have no holes.
You see, a few weeks ago, a friend of mine was making Pretzel Rolls (Laugenbrötchen, for you Germans). Similar to making bagels, you place the rolls in boiling water for a minute or two before baking, only with pretzels or pretzel rolls, you are supposed to put food lye or baking soda in the boiling water, which gives it that dark brown exterior. Well, she forgot the baking soda, and thus ended up making bagel rolls much like these. She posted a photo to her FB page and I spontaneously just said “Unholy bagels!” which I found somehow very funny. Apparently it doesn’t take much to amuse me during lockdown. So there you have it. Unholy bagels, aka Dinner Rolls. They are really damn (ha ha) yummy, even if they started out as accident.
