That is an inspired lunch!
Mrs Binners has recently discovered these beauties at Iceland, which are also the the lunch of champions. Just whack 'em in the air fryer
Oooh, bet they are utter filth (in a good way) fried
omelette.
As for recipe, it’s not difficult. La Mere Poulard who was credited with cooking the perfect omelette in the 19th century was asked for the recipe. She replied “Monsieur Viel, Here is the recipe for the omelette: I break some good eggs in a bowl, I beat them well, I put a good piece of butter in the pan, I throw the eggs into it, and I shake it constantly. I am happy, monsieur, if this recipe pleases you”.
Exactly. (Or should I say eggsactly! 😀 ) An omelette is simply beaten eggs cooked in a lubricated pan. Add any other ingredients you want, but it is pretty much the easiest of all things to cook, even easier than a boiled egg because you can see how it is cooking.
I also think it's difficult to beat a cheesy omelette with a good salad and chunk of crusty bread for any meal.
Got up early this morning to cook fried rice for breakfast.
Didn't sleep well last night as I drank too much coffee while working and got up early this morning hungry.
You had fried rice for breakfast? 😳
You had fried rice for breakfast? 😳
LOL! Yes. Rather common in some part of SE Asia. LOL!
Very easy fried rice ... a bit of garlic, shallots, spring onions, eggs, prawn, overnight rice, salt, soy sauce, sambal chilli, sesame oil and a bit of MSG. Hot wok and stir fried them all in that order. LOL
p/s: was going to have pitta bread with curry for breakfast but decided to have curry for dinner instead so I had fried rice. LOL!

I'd give you a solid 8/10 for that

Sounds like a great idea
Chopped up chorizo, in a frying pan, fry for a bit, add butter beans, fry for a bit longer
Chopped up chorizo, green pepper, garlic, sliced red onion, smoked paprika, fried egg, brown toast, lots of coffee, slump on couch and sweat a bit.

Also works with peas instead of butter beans. (Boil the peas separately first, of course).
Chewkw's breakfast sounds good as a lunch. Is overnight rice just rice cooked yesterday?
Can I quickly say that I’ve been a Heinz man all my life but have recently converted to Branston baked beans. Cheaper ,thicker sauce and not as sweet.
The king is dead, long live the king.
Spicy sausage tortellini with green pesto.
Prep time: 30s
Cooking time: 3mins
Chewkw’s breakfast sounds good as a lunch. Is overnight rice just rice cooked yesterday?
Yes, from yesterday. Never fresh for fried rice or it will be very sticky. If you cooked a lot previous day you can keep it in the fridge and use it for fried rice the next day.
Sambal chilli is optional but since I have some I just added it in. Sambal chilli fried rice is more M'sia style. For Chinese fried rice just exclude the sambal.
If you want to keep your fried rice longer exclude garlic, shallots and spring onions, otherwise it will taste weird the next day.

@chewkw - to be honest with you, that sounds absolutely fantastic!
The other day I had a bit of a trip down memory Lane. I’d forgotten these things existed, but I can gladly report that they are as awesome as I remember
Black pudding on top and a fried egg 😃
Instant noodles (our goto are Sainsbury's veg), with nutritional yeast, a knob of butter, a dash of soy sauce, and a little chilli oíl. A near perfect one pot lunch.

Potato waffles with black pudding on top and a fried egg are brilliant too.
I still can't cook chips the way Fish & Chips shop do them no matter how I try. I am not sure if it is the temperature not high enough or anything else. I used the right potato (Maris Piper) but still the same soggy chips.
Not easy to cook chips the proper way. If I get some Fish & Chips I would know if the shop can get cook well because of the way the prepared their chips. If the chips do not taste good the rest will be the same.
1 pan, 3 timers for (in order)
Potatoes, trofie pasta, green beans.
Jar of pesto and some pecorino gives you

Is 20 minutes too long? It’s not 20 minutes cooking.
Mr Binners had a new food processor delivered yesterday (our old one was older than the kids) so got a bit busy in the kitchen to christen it
So today I'm having rather lovely home made cheese and onion bread, toasted, with loads of butter and home made chicken liver pate 😀

Tell Debs I would have hung around and helped clean the house if I could have had some of the cheese & onion bread 😉
having palpitations at those beans touching the omelette.
Put the Branston beans in the omelette - job, jobbed
Sausages and peas today, but dilemma time: mustard or HP to go with it?
Mid-morning crumpet-tastic snackage 😀

I hope there's Marmite under that.
Absolutely not!!! Just loads and loads of butter 😀
Not even a splash of Worcestershire sauce??? It's a great thread you've started, but I'm beginning to doubt the wisdom of you contributing to it any further.
Most popular in my student flat is definitely beans on toast, followed closely by pot noodles. No avocado on toast here...
The only other rule apart from that is that last night’s dinner reheated doesn’t count either.
That's the remnants of last night's cottage pie out of the running then sadly, one of the special category of meals that is genuinely better reheated the next day.
Damn it was tasty.
In it's stead I shall submit 'student beans' get a few decent sausages, ideally spicy ones, heat up a pan with oil, cut the sausages into sections straight into the hot oil with scissors, after they're nicely sizzled and cooked through pour in a can of baked beans, cook for 5 minutes together and ideally serve on buttered toast with worcester sauce. Meaty, spicy, saucy, sausagey beans, perfect winter grub.
To carry on the thread I started....
I'm just in from being caught in a deluge of freezing cold horizontal hailstones, so there was only one thing for it...
A cheese toastie with (pork, cheddar & black pudding) sausage and a fried egg. Mmmmmmmm

Corned Beef hash.
About 1/3rd of a Scotch Bonnet chopped in to the spuds along with sping onions a tiny bit of milk and some butter.
Loads of corned beef in there and then once it had cooled down a decent size splodge went in to a dry frying pan and browned off on each side.
A few baked beans helped.
@eddiebaby - Delia's corned beef hash tip is a winner. Cut your corned beef into big chunks in the morning and leave it soaking in Worcester Sauce all day. Two fried eggs on top to serve 😀
Chopped Pepper onions and tomatoes with a cajan chicken brest on top in the oven for 30min some rice done!
No air friers here...just one permanently on aga.
So use the oven for everything
For an extra one of your five-a-day, mix a tin of baked beans through your corned beef hash before cooking off. I tend to go for a "make a well and cook the egg in it" approach too - less washing up! Mixing some English mustard through it as well is a tasty one.
I'm having corned beef hash this evening due to this thread. Good call @eddiebaby - I've not had corned beef hash for ages! Fried eggs and beans will both be featuring 😀
Winners all round.
Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle with chunks of boiled egg mixed in. Like kedgeree, but faster and easier and less like kedgeree.

In fact, nothing like Kedgeree apart from a boiled egg
pisco - yuck.

Non-runny yolk so 5/10 😉
Mid-morning crumpet-tastic snackage 😀
What's that stuff on the left? It's not that low fat cheese that doesn't melt properly is it?
If so, get out, you're barred from your own thread
A west-east fusion
Frozen paratha from the Asian supermarket or some of the main supermarkets have them
Cook that in a pan, meanwhile beat one egg, and grate or slice some cheese (a Kraft single would do too)
Once paratha is done remove from pan and cook egg into small vaguely omelette shape. You can actually do that in a bowl in the microwave but then becomes a two 'pan' recipe.
Slice paratha from centre to edge as if you were going to quarter it. In a quadrant put the egg. Fold the freed up quadrant on top. Next quadrant put cheese, fold again. Final quadrant is up to you. Ham is quick and easy but bacon or long sliced sausage is good. Black pudding might work.
What you have is a quadrant shaped three layer ham and egg mcmuffin, but the slightly sweet crispy paratha elevates way past McD taste

You, sir, will be hearing from my lawyers in due course. Low fat cheese indeed? It was just two different (full fat) cheeses with apparently different melting points
Non-runny yolk so 5/10 😉
I always flip my eggs if they're going on a butty. I can't have them runny as it reminds me too much of the opening scene of Withnail
I'm sure you'll be far happier with my corned beef hash from last night 🙂
