Russian Breakfast: Part One

Today I cooked fried eggs. To say frankly, there is no traditional Russian breakfast but we have several dishes that may be called traditional breakfast dishes.

To make my version which I call "anti-stress" fried eggs you will need the following plus 1 spoonful of refined olive oil.


So I take 5 quail eggs, 5 cherry tomatoes, a little piece of onion and 1 sausage.

After short preparation this plate breaks into two work areas.




Onion - {lu:k}
It is the first one to be thrown onto the pan with hot olive oil. Onion, as well as garlic, keeps healty vitamins in the olive oil from fading away. Mediterranean cuisine hit the spot.

Sausage - {sosiska} - the stress is on the second syllable 
Goes after the onion in 2 or 3 minutes.


Tomatoes - {pomidor} - singular - the stress is on the last syllable
Accompany the sausage.

Quail eggs - {perepelinoe yaitso} - singular - 1. the stress is on the fourth syllable; 2. the stress is on the last syllable
Some people don't wash eggs. I always do. And break eggs into a plate to make sure that there are no shell pieces.
I choose quail eggs as they contain more vitamins than chicken ones: B1 and B2, K and Fe.
Dietologists say that ideally you need to eat 2 portions a week to be healthy.
I stir all eggs together and pour the mixture onto the pan in 2-3 minutes after sausage+tomatoes.

A little bit of salt and here we go.

This breakfast contains a lot of stress-resistant vitamins that we really need to save the nerves.

I am taking pictures "as is". They are not that fancy as in cook books, but they are real.

P.S. Sometimes when I don't have time to cook in the morning, I just warm up what was left from dinner. I am flexible.
