One of the things I love most about cooking is I get to experiment!! This morning I experimented with my favorite meal of the day; breakfast. Now this recipe goes along with the left overs from the previous filet recipe. Remember when I saved the excess filet meat from the chain of the beef; well here I am going to use that in my breakfast. However, any tender meat will be great for this recipe as well. One of the most juciest and flavorful ways to give your meal a good kick is bacon!!! Using bacon fat, grease or wrapping bacon around many foods not only gives it more flavor but its a good insulator to hold many juices inside! This is what I craved for in my breakfast today.
Ingredients : 1 stick of butter for frying and a 1/2 stick melted for the meat
- Left over filet chain or tender cut of meat cut into 3 inch long chunks
- 1/2 package of bacon - 4 eggs - 1 cup of fresh spinach
-1/2 stick of hot sausage - 1/4 cup diced onion and shredded cheese -1/4 cup milk
- S&P and EVOO
First melt the stick of butter in a frying pan on medium heat. Place your chunks of filet on a cutting board and pour the 1/2 stick of melted butter over the chunks . Take a strip of bacon and wrap them around each piece of meat. Sometimes you may need 2 if the chunks are big. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on each side then place them in the fryer.
Only put about 4 chunks at a time and cook them about 4-6 minutes on each side (note: this is for med-rare).
While those are cooking, cut up the hot sausage into small pieces and fry them in a large skillet with olive oil. In a large bowl, put your eggs, fresh spinach, milk, cheese, onions, cooked sausage and some S&P. Mix them up like you would scrambled. Pour the mixture in the large skillet and cook them like scrambled eggs.
Periodically check the doneness of your filets to the way you like it and once everything is all set cooking; just plate and serve with some toast! The flavors in this breakfast are to die for!!! I hope you enjoy it as well as we did.
Mangia :)
