What is your favorite thing to make for breakfast?

A bagel with a bit of cream cheese, avocado, tomato, swiss cheese melted on top, S&P and a bit of fresh dill. I picked up this habit when I worked at a bagel shop in high school.  My metabolism was a lot better then...but I continue to enjoy eating this sandwich anyways.  I also really enjoy greek yogurt with a bit of honey and granola or fruit.  Some days I eat cold cereal, some days I juice.

What is your favorite thing to order when you go out for breakfast?

Usually a potato dish of some kind or french toast with fruit.  

Do you have a favorite local spot?

I have a few favorite spots in Salt Lake City. Breakfast or brunch out is one of my all time favorite activities, I'll go by myself if I have to.  Eggs in the City for their french toast, Ruth's diner for a greasy pile of hash browns, or Pago for something light and fresh during the summer months.

What is your favorite morning ritual?

We have bench seats in our kitchen right next to a window that looks out into our back garden. On a day where I am working from home I like to eat by the window and stare outside for a while before I get my day going.  

Coffee of tea?

Tea. I love chamomile with a bit of honey. 

I enjoy most floral tasting teas, I also like tea with a hint of licorice flavor.

Asparagus roasted in my cast iron skillet, topped with poached egg + maldon salt. green tea.

Rosewater waffle, green shakshuka, + zucker rose {amazing} from Jack's Wife Freda.

a new favorite egg sandwich {inspired by Saltie in Brooklyn}:
Hard boil an egg. I place an egg in a pot of cold water, then boil for 7 minutes. Immediately remove and put in an ice water bath. 

Toast an english muffin. I toast mine in a cast iron skillet with a little olive oil.

Make a mixture of spicy mustard and mayonnaise. Add a few capers.

Top english muffin with mayo mixture and then add your favorite toppings. I added the hard boiled egg, fresh spinach, thin sliced red onion, pepper and maldon sea salt. SO GOOD!

And, Kinfolk Volume III is now out. See some of my photos {and outtakes} of a lunch at the Mucca office.

1. What is your favorite thing to make for breakfast?

I love toast! Topped with anything really but lately I like having it with avocado, a squeeze of lemon, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Or with ricotta and fresh figs when they're in season.

I often have some variation of berries and plain yogurt, drizzled with honey or agave. I just tried Morris Kitchen's new preserved lemon syrup on yogurt with blackberries. It was delicious. 

2. What is your favorite thing to order when you go out to breakfast?

I haven't mastered poached eggs so I like to order them when I go out.

3. Do you have a favorite local spot?

Diner is my go-to brunch spot. Their menu is seasonal and ever-changing and I generally love anything they dish up. I also enjoy Vinegar Hill House when I'm up for a trek. Five Leaves is near my studio, so I breakfast there on occasion (but never weekend brunch- too crowded)!

 

4. What is your favorite morning ritual?

Some days when I have the chance, I spend an hour at home before I leave for the studio, drinking coffee and reading a book. It's one of my favorite times of the day, a little peace and quiet before the day's busy schedule.

5. coffee or tea?

Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. My friend Helen turned me on to PG Tips, a strong British tea that's best with sugar and a drop of milk and we've been having afternoon tea time at the studio lately.
