Nostalgia never hurts, and who wouldn’t be touched by fond memories of childhood, a time without big worries and a world full of colors, novelties and experiences! Many people agree that many memories from the old days are tied to smells, and among them are undoubtedly the fragrant warm breakfasts that a loving grandmother prepared, mainly from eggs. And if they were home eggs, all the dishes were even better. They were never missing the main ingredient – love.
In the past all the ingredients were natural
Back then people didn’t concern themselves with healthy eating or minimizing fats and salt. However, people moved naturally much more and the food was natural, without many modern additives and preservatives.
After all, remember, maybe you had it the same way, and maybe you’ll treat yourself to one of these breakfasts sometime.
Bread or loaf in egg
The most popular family recipe, especially for its excellent taste and simple and quick preparation. You only needed to have at home a slice of bread or butter, eggs and oil and you could start preparing, which was completely simple. Slices of bread or roll were dipped on both sides into beaten and salted egg and fried on both sides in hot oil. Then they were placed on a napkin for a moment to absorb the excess fat, and could be served. We liked them best spread with a little mustard and garnished with a slice of fresh tomato.
Hemenex or Ham and eggs?
Ham with eggs is a well-known and popular breakfast dish, especially in Anglo-American culture, but here it became popular under the name hemenex, under which it once appeared on restaurant menus. Whatever you call this dish, it’s simply ham with eggs. In a pan melt butter or heat oil to taste, line the bottom with slices of ham and lightly fry them. Coat them with beaten egg, salt and fry. We added slices of tomato to the ham, which gave the hemenex color and a fresh taste.
Scrambled eggs aka vaječina
The name of this dish depends on where it comes from; “vaječina” is used mainly in Northern Moravia. It may seem that preparing this breakfast is simple and there’s nothing wrong with it, but the opposite is true. If you want scrambled eggs to have a truly smooth consistency and not a dry lumpy one, you must add a little lukewarm water to the eggs beaten with a pinch of salt. Scrambled eggs taste best when prepared in butter.
