Ah, the brilliant, simple and elegant egg. In the classic Batman television series that aired from 1966-1968, Adam West had many an arch nemesis to contend with but perhaps none was as feared as Egghead, played by none other than horror movie legend, Vincent Price. Egghead possessed a cunning intellect and claimed to be the most brilliant criminal in the world. As one of only two villains from the series to deduce Batman's true identity... it's tough to disagree with him.
In the kitchen, no one will dispute the delicious genius of the egg. 'Round these parts, eggs are a way of life, a passion and reason/means to celebrate. There's no end to what you can do to an egg, and I don't just mean the damage potential most Mischief Night pranksters rely on. I'm talking breakfast here, people, and today I came up with something pretty tasty.
Ok, let's assume you love mango chutney as much as I do:
Let's also hope that it hasn't taken you nearly 30 years to discover this delicious spreadable wonderstuff. Regardless, I thought infusing my standard morning egg with some zesty middle eastern/Indian flavor would be tasty as all get out... and I was right.
So:
1. toast up a slice of your favorite local Spanish bakery health bread
2. fry an egg (go organic)
3. spread some avocado on that crispy toast
4. smear some plain yogurt on top of the avocado
5. lay out your fried egg on top of those creamy layers
6. top it off with a dollop of mango chutney sauce
bam.
"G, have you lost your mind here?" Possibly... but this is the kinda of coo coo culinary ingenuity that makes you stand up and say, "I will not go quietly into my day! I will not settle for a boring brunch!" And why should you? Life's too short to not enjoy a tasty egg here and there.
