This is the tale of Jason's
uneaten breakfast. It's exactly 5:21am. I remember Jason mentioning his alarm (maybe being set to go off) at 5:30am. I remember because he said, "5:30am comes early, don't it?" >insert Jason's shitty-smiling grin here<
I have 9min. to make his breakfast. He likes to eat on the go, I think. He likes eggs. Eggs are hard to eat on the go, I back track. Croissant. One left over croissant. nigella Lawson croissant bread pudding. (inserts black satin pink back light with reds hues. as a visual of course) *I don't like bread pudding, I think. Lindsey likes it though. It's her favorite. Stomach turns. It should be my favorite too, I think. I bet Lindsey hated that part. Quit talking about her.

"gonna fry my baby gonna hold her tight gonna take an apple tomb be bite"
That's how the lyrics go, right? |
Seriously though - Up to this point: Scrambled an egg, seasoned it with a smidge of vanilla (about 1/8th of a teaspoon) and then dunked the sliced/torn croissant pieces in with the egg mixture. The croissant will absorb as much of the egg mixture as possible and/or as much as you let it.
I wanted to go a funnel cake, Dutch-apple baby, flattened cinnamon roll - type of direction. Quick on my feet, I pre-heated some oil over high heat - and then dumped the croissant/egg/vanilla into the hot oil.

I dusted the dark top with powdered sugar as if it were a beignet or funnel cake. I sprinkled a smidge of nutmeg and showered with a seasoning of coarse salt. Also, I fried an egg in case Jason wasn't feeling like trying something new.
 |
| Syrup, honey, jam, chocolate, Nutella, strawberries, caramel, ice cream, peanuts, ground red pepper, Chinese Five-Spice - all nice added toppings. Orange marmalade and a Maker's Mark or Amaretto with maraschino cherries (combo of sorts) don't sound too shabby either. |
 |
| BREAKFAST IS SERVED! |
 |
| This was literally just before Jason opened the door. I just happened to be there. coincidence? Your call. |
Sad story: Jason didn't eat any of this. The egg turned into part of my lunch - and I ate part
of the rest of it of the impromptu-croissant-pancake. I threw the rest/leftovers in the trash bin.
