I usually cook eggs in olive oil (1 1/2 tbs), at the lowest possible temperature. Favorite Sunday morning breakfast, sliced tomatoes in the pan with olive oil, a dash of hot sauce on each slice, chopped chives or green onion on top, simmering at the lowest possible temperature till the onions or chives release their aroma, three extra large or jumbo eggs, thin slivers of whatever cheese is in the fridge, or crumbled goat, dabs of brie, or camembert, cover till the cheese begins to melt. Turn off the heat. (the eggs are almost poached, firm whites, runny yolks, slide right out of the pan barely touched by a spatula) In the meantime grill some breakfast sausages, Canadian bacon or uncured bacon, toast thick slices of yesterday's bread or fresh bagels, slather with salted Irish butter and used to sop up the olive oil. While cooking, munch on orange sections, blueberries. Get the coffee going in a French press, pour at the table. Finish with some fresh baked cornbread right out of the oven and preserves, more coffee. Try to move from the table. Share some of the bacon with the dog but no sausage, no tomato, a bit of cheese, make him an egg, another egg with cheese for the cat. What she doesn't finish, the dog will enjoy. My wife won't eat eggs because they come from a chicken's butt. She eats the toast, a halved grilled tomato with olive oil and fresh oregano, marjoram or basil, bacon or sausage, corn bread and preserves, double serving, 2-3 mugs of coffee. Then she yells at me for making her fat and smiles. She's a size 4. Between us we kill two liter sized French presses of coffee. She thinks I don't see her slip some rum in hers. I think she has a hollow leg.
The French presses we have are double stainless steel walled presses, and they keep the coffee hot for about two hours. They sell for about $15-20 on Amazon. Never have to worry about breaking a glass carafe when washing up. I use the grinds for the herb garden in the kitchen window, and various plants in our home. They release a lot of nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil. Helps the soil hold moisture and prevents root rot. Keeps the ph levels down.
