My favorite meal out is breakfast and that is what day 3 was all about! One would think breakfast is so simple but I learned the most by far on this day and had the most fun! My assignment was to make English muffins for our team.
Not as difficult as I first thought and very fun! There will probably not be a lot of commercial English muffins in our house from this point forward. I have included the recipe so you can try them at home.

In addition to the responsibility of our recipe to fulfill the team's menu for the day, we each had to prepare a perfectly cooked French omelette and a perfectly poached egg. Since I pretty much subsist on poached eggs, that one was a no brainer, but the omelette proved a bit more challenging. If you know Julia Child's story of culinary school, then you know how many omelets she prepared before success. While I would not say mine was perfect ( a wee bit of color on the exterior) I did get the inside just right and Chef was very pleased! Be still my heart!
Our presentation buffet was at least 3 dozen poached eggs in various forms of bennies. We also got puff pastry 3 ways, apple turnovers, bear claws and tomato tart. Add to that lemon soufflé pancakes, cream scones, muesli in the French style ( folded with whipped cream and fruit!) and grapefruits a la Salvor Dali! It was quite a spread again.

Technically, we are not supposed to take any food away from the building,for liability, but somehow when I got home, I discovered 2 English muffins in my bag. I thought the Producer needed to reap some benefits for his investment! ; )
