Breakfast is More Than a Meal
hi and welcome to steve's kitchen. i'm feelingparticularly lazy today so i'm doing mug meals all throughout the day that'sbreakfast lunch and dinner but they're not going to be boring. we're going to start offwith bacon and eggs on toast i kid you not bacon and eggs on toast all in a mugcome on let me show you how now this meal works best with a slightly oversized mug. come downhere and i know this is naughty but we are going to trim our crusts off becausei want it about as round as the cup is but very roughly, so just take off the cornersi'm just going to nibble away at the
crusts to get a sort of semi roundpiece of bread. now i want you too lightly butter the bread on both sides, we're just going to turn that over and do the back as well. then you lift your bread and popit into the bottom of your cup and just push it against the sides. i've a piece ofbacon here, the middle and i'm just going to cut it into slices and if you like thisfatty bacon at the end here, keep it in it does add a lot of flavor. take your baconand pop it on top of your bread like so, that's what you're looking for that's going to go in the microwave and theoils from the bacon are going to penetrate into the bread and turn it into a lovelycrisp toast. now i've done that for a minute on full
power, thats about 1,000 watt microwaveand if you just come in here you'll see the bacon has started to cook, another 30 secondsand that'll crisp up a little bit. so after 2 minutes you can start to see the baconhas crisped up, next we're going to take our egg we'll just break that on the sideand just break your egg over the top of your bacon. now i like my egg still to berunnny so i'm going to do 30 seconds, if you like a firmer egg just a little bit longer but not much now look at that the yolks beautifullyrunny, the white is still a little bit soft, now you can eat that straightfrom the mug but i'm just want to show you something, i'm going to pop this out onto aplate so you can see and yes i know my
whites a little bit runny that's the wayi like it if you don't just cook it for an extra ten seconds now if i slice through that you would besurprised that the bread is lovely and toasty you see we've even got toastunderneath. now let me give this a try bacon and eggs on toast in a mug sodelicious, really trust me now i love my bacon and eggs and i can'tget over how great that is in a mug crispy bread so delicious now join me alittle bit later on we're going to have a spot of lunch see you back here then so we started the day with a friedbreakfast. i want a lighter lunch so i'm going to
make a quiche, a lovely quiche, in a simple muglike this. i am going to make my own bottom. cheeky! now come down here, now it really is verysimple, just going to take a couple of tablespoons of all-purpose flour,approximately a tablespoon of butter we want to season this with a little bitof salt and this is optional but i like a little pepper in there as well and then justget your hands in there, just sort of rub the flour and butter together so you'relooking for this loose sort of bread crumb take your glass and we just drop whatis basically a short crust pastry into the glass then i'm just going to pack itfirmly down. so that's our little quiche base we're going to make the topping. soeither in another cup or a little bowl
just take one egg, a tablespoon of thick cream now i'm not going to salt this but i am going to put black pepper in there and then i just want to whisk this togetherto get a nice even mixture, that looks about perfect now we've got about thirty gramsor an ounce of cheese it just needs to be cut up into some small cubes just dropthat in there with the egg and a little bit of ham i'm not really certain you canbe flexible how much you want and just going to again cut this into strips and thensmall cubes just drop that in with the egg and a little bit of spring onions orscallions and i just want to slice it get a little bit of the green in there as well now if you wanted to you could add anythingto this quiche at all, a little bit of red
pepper, some chili if you want. here is my cuppour that in on top of my pastry base so i've got that just about a little over halfwayinto the microwave this will only take one minute and it will be perfectly cooked. now that puffs up really high, actually when i took that out of the microwave itstarted to drop back down just going to take some spring onions pop that overthe top there you have it quiche in a mug and i'm going to give this atry now i know this tastes good i've had it many times before let's dig in. now i want to get right theway down to get some of that pastry as well. we're just going to pull that upaltogether that's perfectly cooked with stringy cheese in there as well you cansee the steam coming off that still a
little bit hot here goes i should add awarning that is super hot and that will burn your tongue as it almost did mine but my thatis really really delicious i'm going in for another piece. it's cheesy itswell-seasoned the base is fantastic so that is our quiche that's our lunch sortedout. let's get on with the day and i'll see you back here for a lovely dinner so the evening's drawing in and it'stime for dinner but steve we don't want any more eggs can't we just order in a pizza. well wecan but we can make it in a mug we're going to use this oversized mug again justcome down here and i'll show you how we
make, this ones going to be a margarita pizza.to start with just 4 tablespoons of all purpose flour into the bottom of our mug ,seasonit with a little salt and to help the pizza dough rise i'm just going to put a quarterof a teaspoon of baking powder in there now three tablespoons of milk and atablespoon of the lightest olive oil that you can find. now get a fork in there and juststart to mix this together into a nice pizza dough. now develop a nice elastictexture like that won't take a few seconds. now we want our pizza dough tobe fairly flat, so a tiny bit of oil on a plate take a spoon, the back of a spoon get someoil on there and just level that
pizza dough down. the trick to a goodpizza in a mug is a little bit of herbs a little bit of oregano perhaps.so that is the pizza dough now let's take a tomato or a pasta sauce thisone's got a little bit of onion and garlic in it just want to pour that overthe top about a spoon and a half. don't go too heavyand we just level that out and because i'm doing a simple margarita i'm justgoing to take a couple of rounds of mozzarella and just lay them across thetop now i'm keeping this simple i'm going to decorate it with a little bit ofbasil. now this is super quick just a minute twenty in my microwave , thats about 1000 watt and it'll be ready. now come and take
a look at this how beautiful is thatjust like a proper margarita pizza. now is the pizza dough actually cooked like itshould be i reckon so. so the last meal of the day pizza in a mug. let's give this a try now see howbeautiful and light that pizza dough is i'll just show you its crumbly it's got a lovely wonderful stringy mozzarella, justwinding that up just break that off of there. a little bit extra of the sauce andhere goes that's just amazing it tastes just likepizza, it's fantastic a little bit of fun to end this day off
