Pasta Salad – It’s What’s For Breakfast

Remember Mika’s Mediterranean Pasta Salad I made the other day, it was very good and so I had to do try it for breakfast.  I made a patty of some of it and sauteed it in a little olive oil.  

 It was difficult to keep it together while flipping but I finally got it over, topped with some sharp cheddar, and added a lid to help melt the cheese.
I then plated it and quickly cooked an over easy-egg in the same pan and ended up with this very good breakfast.
I’d already tried the pasta salad warm while I was making it so I knew it was good that way and I had no doubt adding the cheese and egg would be a winner.

And for supper at the dock that night it was an all salad meal of more pasta salad with chipotle hot sauce, leftover bean salad from our recent Surf & Turf dinner party (it wasn't nearly as good leftover), and cottage cheese and tomato.

 It was a good meal for a hot summer day.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  1. Well there you have it! Only our Larry could warm up pasta salad and top it with an egg. I have to admit I'm bleary eyed from just waking up and haven't had but a sip of coffee, but that title make me LOL.

  2. Larry, That's the most healthy day's worth of food I've seen you prepare and consume! I'm not sure that I could have bought into the pasta salad topped by an egg...but more power to you! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  3. You are so creative with a fried egg, Larry. And who but you would think to fry a patty of pasta salad? I love it! My mom used to serve sliced tomatoes topped with a scoop of cottage cheese all the time. It's one of my favorite sides.

  5. Now that is one I wouldn't have thought of, fried pasta salad for breakfast. It's a great way to make sure those leftovers disappear.

  6. You certainly have taught me something new, Larry - - frying pasta salad. But I think it sounds awesome, especially with the egg on top! You two must really be ready for the day after your breakfasts!

  8. That's awesome Larry! I have to say that I would never have thought of it but it looks great! I'll have to try it now that the boys are both getting ready to head to college I will probably have lots more leftovers with just Jimmy, Bay and me. ;)
