A Cure for the Rainy Monday Blues
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
In need for a quick dinner on a rainy Monday night, I pondered the contents of my fridge. We had hosted brunch the morning before, so we had a few breakfast fixings that were begging to be eaten – eggs, asparagus and bacon…you can’t go wrong with that combo.
I rolled the bacon around the thin asparagus stalks and cooked them in the oven about 15 minutes, then finished them quickly under the broiler. A quick poach of a few eggs – firm whites and runny yolks – and toast of some sourdough slices and dinner was complete. The rich, runny yolks, salty bacon and tender asparagus were the perfect cure for the rainy Monday blues. Of course, it didn’t hurt that we also had some bubbly leftover in the fridge from our mimosas – and we didn’t want it to go to waste…
