egg salad. rather, a salad with egg

this one's like, so money! to the max! especially if you have day-old bread that's crusty. it's a good lunch/brunch/lite thing. like a breakfast salad. maybe after a surf. that would be all time.

first off, make yourself a salad. include lettuces, some tomatoes. keep it lite and simple. then, take your crusty bread and rip it up. little rough bite sized pieces. drizzle with olive oil and put in a hot oven for a few until they get a little golden and crispy. as you do that, poach two eggs. if you don't know how, learn how.

ok, that's it. toss your toasty bread chunks and salad and squeeze over some lemon and olive oil. add salt and pepper. maybe layer on some prosciutto. finally slide over the poached eggs and let them sit on top. served.

egss benedict, but not. with green hollandaise and fried green tomatoes

with green goddess and fried green tomatoes

hollandaise can be real gross. especially outside in the sun. so, replace it. we tried green goddess (see recipes below), and left out the anchovies. sort of an herby-creamy thing. and a good eggs Benedict needs tomatoes, so i subbed in fried green tomatoes, mainly because our tomatoes weren't ripe yet and fried stuff tastes good. Layer on a plate, in this order:

1. two crustini or toast
2. prosciutto
   
3. fried green tomatoes--sliced green tomatoes, breaded (egg wash, breaded with corn meal), fried in oil until golded
4. green hollandaise (see recipe, subtract anchovies)
5. poached eggs

Heck yeah!

pizza

this is how we get along. i like pizzas without tomato bases a lot.

• trader joes pizza dough, flatten out for pizza and drizzled with olive oil
  
• mozzarella, torn by hand, scattered about
  
• mushrooms, torn by hand, scattered about
• thyme, picked out and scattered about

Bake as high as you can for 15. enjoy. maybe with a cl, as photographed.
