Just look at these roman tomatoes, I had to have them when I spotted it at the supermarket, and they are the bestest, juiciest tomatoes ever in this world… no this universe!
Funny thing is I actually not a tomato person, I don’t mind them but I don’t miss them either. Maybe because I just don’t fancy those common big round tomatoes that are pretty to look at but rather tasteless most time. I tend to go for cherry tomatoes or romans, they are sweeter and more flavour. I got a full punnet of these romans and decided to roast them in oven and make a simple tasty breakfast.
I also got myself a loaf of ciabatta from Harris Farm Market, and some Perfect Italiano ricotta love from the good people at Mark Comms. I actually didn’t know there are so many variety in the Perfect Italiano ricotta cheese range. Ricotta for any occasions – from original, to light, to “extra” light; then there is also savoury ricotta and sweet ricotta. I decided to use the light ricotta for the breakfast, and churned up a light and fluffy scrambled eggs. Oh! Don’t forget the bacon!
The ricotta is naturally with high water content, so I do need to drain most of the water out through a sieve before adding it into the egg mixture. I followed Gordan Ramsay’s recipe for the perfect scrambled egg plus adding my own ricotta. The end result is a creamy, light and soft scramble egg that just melt in the mouth. As a typical foodblogger, the whole food photography session took quite some time and eventually there was some water leaking out of the scrambled eggs. Next time I think I will wrap the ricotta in muslin and leave it overnight to let all water drain out thoroughly.
Blistered roman tomatoes, creamy scrambed eggs, fry some bacon, toast the ciabatta on griller, a dollop of ricotta on side, drizzle some virgin olive oil all over – hmm.. my perfect breakfast.

yum yum your scrambled eggs look great, and don’t tomatoes look oh-so-sexy when they’re still on the vine? ricotta is always a nice foil for rich flavours too.

Very nice breakfast, and to think some cafe’s would charge a ridiculous price for this! Probably cost the same amount doing it at home to serve 4 people

Nicely done Billy! I love all these breakfast items but let’s not forget a strong coffee to wash it all down ! Love the tomato pics!

Those tomatoes do look really good! The scrambled eggs look even better though
I usually drain my ricotta for an hour in muslin and that does the trick

this breakfast is making me drool onto my laptop!
Aww, those little tomatoes at the top are sooooo cute, I just want to pinch their little bitty cheeks!! ;p And then devour that awesome looking breakfast …
That looks so delicious! My ideal breakfast
Do try some ricotta from the deli, kicks the hell out of the supermarket stuff!
Such a nice looking breakfast and a big fan of the smaller variety of tomatoes as well. Bigger ones can be as good when in season though.
@Helen (grabyourfork): I have to agree I am a sucker for tomatoes that still on the vine.
@Howard: Exactly what I thought! But I guess is always good to have someone cook for you right?
@Peter G: Thanks Peter, I am so glad I am able to get Campos here in woop woop!
@Steph: That’s a good idea by draining the ricotta first. I was lazy as you can see….
@Simon Food Favourites: ho ho
@jenny: hehehe… if is work’s pc, thats okay then.
@Kat: HAhahaha sounds saucy…. but yep, I am sold!
@Lauren: Yeah now there are ricotta recipes everywhere on foodblogs! I think I will make my own ricotta one day.
@Simon: YEah I just don’t have much luck OR should I say I can’t justify to pay high price for those big tomatoes. I dunno, that’s just me…
