Part 3: My Take on a Celebrity Chef’s Breakfast Recipe
What is the best way to compliment your lazy Sunday’s and make them even more perfect? A hot cup of frothed coffee of course! Devondale Barista’s Own is made to deliver a consistent smooth creamy froth to your favourite style of coffee at home.
This particular recipe from Curtis Stone (he is my favorite celebrity chef, also a hunk, read all about him here) is very simple and only requires a handful of ingredients that are easy to source. Nothing too complicated or overly fancy. I thought it would be perfect for me to try making this breakfast dish for hubby on Father’s Day this morning.
I stayed fairly true to the recipe, except I added some hot salami and used grated cheese instead of the block of cheddar. I also completely used only the oven to heat up the tortillas and cook everything else as if I was making a mini pizza. The result: AWESOME! It was a bit of a “manly” dish, with the saltiness of the ham and heat from the salami. The fried egg was perfect to add the “gooey” factor to the dish. It was also easier to eat the whole thing by hand, by folding the tortilla and just creating a gooey but delicious mess!

Now that was MY perfect breakfast accompaniment to a cup of coffee made with Devondale Barista’s Own Frothing Milk 🙂

I would never ever touch coffee, even at the age of 25 I would still only have milo and worse case scenario if you did not have milo it would have to be cocoa…When my children started school and I began to make friends with other mums my hubby said “Natalie, it’s time you try a coffee”, that was such a huge step for me but from that moment, WOW my Love affair with coffee began. Now every morning I continue this affair and my real treat is every Thursday I will buy myself a LATTEE and walk around shopping, just me and my secret cup.

My first memory is when I was 5 and gagging on my mums coffee because it was so bitter. When I started drinking coffee I felt like such a grown up.

I was a child in the late 1940's, almost everyone drank tea, which I disliked. My favorite aunt drank 'coffee essence'mixed with condensed milk and boiling water I loved it, more for the chance to be different and the exotic smell. Haven't seen it for years. I still love coffee, but, now only drink 'the real thing' made with freshly ground beans

i have a couple of Curtis Stone recipes i really like. and i love breakfast recipes!I remember I use to sip my mums coffee (instant of course – i'm a country girl) as a kid and not like it. But oneday when I was at school (primary – i started young!) one of the teachers made a cup of coffee at recess. I can't really remember why I tried his coffee (it was a very small country school) but I do remember I liked it! and even more strangely I remember him (Mr Doyle) telling me that it was nice because he added the milk before he added the hot water. And you know, if for whatever reason I am desperate enough to drink an instant coffee, I always dissolve the coffee in the milk first!

My first memory is of an expresso coffee in a little cup my mum left unattended..my childish urge to quickly take a sip while alone..with the result?! Coffee rushing out of my nose as i sucked in a gulp of air! That five year old learnt that coffee was a pleasure i was happy to reaquaint with when i was older! Boy..i'm fifty and my friendship with coffee is a daily affair and no nose involvement at all!

As a child I tasted Camp coffee (v sweet with cold milk) and then as a young adult it was instant all the way. Thank goodness I discovered REAL coffee.

Until I have my morning coffee, I can’t remember anything! 🙂 But the first memory that always comes to mind is the creamy, frothy cappuccinos my husband would make me when we started dating. Like him, they were so smooth and got my heart started!ippy74@gmail.com

I honestly can't remember the first time i tried coffee… my mum and dad always drank that horrible instant stuff in the tin (Caro??) so when i drank my Mum or Dads coffee it would not have been a time to remember! I do remember though when I started working at 14 that we used to go into the tearoom on the later shifts and have a cup of instant Nescafe to get you through the rest of your shift (not that I have much of an appreciation for the instant stuff anymore). A nice homemade or bought Cappacinno thanks!sarinabirchwood@hotmail.com

I was 17 and my dear mother was concerned that I wouldn't make it through the day after staying up all night finishing a Yr 12 assessment. She made me a coffee to pep me up, probably Nescafe instant. It was the most disgusting thing I had tasted but I eagerly drank it to show how “grown-up” I was. My first few espressos at uni took a bit of getting used to, as, well, let's face it, it really is an acquired taste. These days I love any good coffee, usually a well made espresso, but some instant coffees I find quite acceptable.

Some of the best coffees I've had were made on a friend's stove-top; stirred frantically by hand with a very 'loved' coffee pot. Only one at a time could be made so you had to wait quite a while for seconds! It was definitely worth it!

The bitter taste of cheap coffee filled my mouth and I quickly scooped sugar in to sweeten the milky drink. That was 15 years ago now and my taste has developed since then! I now adore my morning coffee and I'm only truly satisfied when I have a freshly brewed espresso!
