SEC S4-W2 | My favorite breakfast | by @patjewell
"Eier in 'n nessie"
“Eat your breakfast. It is good for you!”
I can still so clearly hear my mom saying this and if mom tells you something you know not to query her. Mom knows what is best!
It is only when I left home that I realized how important breakfast indeed is. Breakfast gives me the "whooma" I need to start my day.
South Africa and breakfast time! |
|---|
Over the years South Africans adopted the “Western” way of eating breakfast namely bacon and eggs or a good cheese toastie. During the week it is also easy to grab a box of cereals, add milk, and “Bob's your uncle" away you go off to school or work.
On the traditional side there are two items which are LOVED by South Africans and that is pap and rusks.
| Image | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Pap | Cooked maize meal, similar to porridge or grits. It is eaten with butter, sugar, and milk. |
 | Rusk | Made from wheat flour, baked, and then dried out in the oven. It is eaten by dunking it in a cup of tea of coffee. |
Breakfast time for South African is between 06 – 09 am.
If we eat breakfast after this time we call it “brunch”. It is then also time to add so much more to your breakfast like mushrooms, cheese sausages, and waffles or flapjacks.
Me and breakfast time! |

“Eier in a Nessie” as we call it in my home language, Afrikaans. Translate it means “egg in a nest.” It is by far my favorite breakfast.
It is not only me who loves it but also my family. It tastes good, it is easy and quick to make, and it is also cost-effective.
Ingredients needed:
• 1 slice of bread
• Butter or margarine
• 1 egg
Making it is as easy as reading a comic strip.
I like decorating the top of the “egg in a nest” with a happy smiley face. When my grandchildren visit I will put tomato sauce in a dish for them and then allow them to decorate the nest themselves.
My favorite breakfast is then also served with juice or fresh fruit.
Breakfast is served! |

There is only one person who makes breakfast in our household and that is me. If I had to wait for hubby we will wait forever.
When my daughter visits I still have to make breakfast. “Mom, you make the best breakfast ever!” Have you heard that one before?
When next you are in the area make sure you stop at us between 07-08 am as that is when breakfast is served. Oh yah, on weekends we sleep late. Best to make it between 08-09 am.
Ps: You can pay me by washing the dishes.

Amigas las tostadas de pan siempre serán mis favoritas y más de la forma tan divertida como lo hiciste, los niños estarían encantados por este plato. Gracias por tu hermosa participación 🤗
It was a pleasure sharing this. When you try this you can even sprinkle some cheese over he egg when you bake it in the nest.
This was the one way I could get my kids to eat 🍳

By the way -
what means "SEC S4-W2"?
And who told me not to include the author's name into the title? Hmmm, can't remember...
Umh... I wonder who told you to do so if the contest states you must 😉
"SEC S4-W2" - Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 4 Week 2
I'm sure the community requested for it to be like this as it is much easier to search for entries.
Ps: Thanks for stopping by!
Hola mi estimada, sabes que recordé, una escena de una serie donde justamente ese era el desayuno y es en EE. UU y allá es muy popular ese sándwich de huevo. Definitivamente quiero probarlo, se ve crocante y rico. Saludos.
It is delicious especially if you make the "nest" (the bread) crispy as you said and the egg still a bit soft.
You can even add cheese on top of the egg when you fry it.
Super yummy!
Thanks for the visit and engagement my friend! 🎕
Hello friend, this is a fun breakfast, because you can put a happy face with tomato sauce on it.
I've never done it like that, but I think I'll have to try it hahaha
Thanks for sharing what is your favorite breakfast 😊
Hellos!
Believe me, you will love it and soon you will compete on who can decorate the best.
My grandson once sliced his apple and use it as "hair". Needless to say, he didn't want to eat it as it was too pretty. (•ิ‿•ิ)
Enjoy and have fun!
Ps: Thanks for the engagement!! It is appreciated.
