One of my favorite things in the world is to wake up to sunshine. It just preempts the start of a fantastic day. Spring mornings - when the sun bursts in through the window, the birds are chirping away and the outside world is just starting to bloom - are a real reminder that summer is on it's way!
Personally, I find the best way to enjoy such a morning is to cook up a long lazy brunch. The cookbooks offer lots of great breakfast recipes, but this has to be by far the best.
Scrambled eggs (known as buttered eggs to Moira) served with a rich salty anchovy paste on thick slices of sough dough toast, drenched in butter. Served with a cup of coffee and a healthy glass of orange juice, this breakfast starts a spring day on just the right foot.
"Melt a small lump of butter in the saucepan, then put in three eggs well beaten and a little salt. Stir well on the fire. When almost done, take off the saucepan and keep stirring for a few minutes. Spread some anchovy paste on hot buttered toast, then lay the buttered eggs on the top"
