Breakfast with the BOFA’s is back with another BYOB (Build Your Own Breakfast) extravaganza on Sunday March 1st. This time, it’s an adventure in creating your own omelet. We’re trying out a crazy technique that’s shown below.

We have a slew of ingredients including:

Sharp Cheddar and Jack Blend
Sauteed Mushrooms
Bell Peppers
Bacon Bits
Diced Ham
Tomatoes
Red Onion
Sour Cream
Homemade Salsa

We’re also cooking up a ton of roasted potatoes, and toast as sides. As always, we’ll include the ultimate bloody mary bar and fresh coffee, but if you want to bring stuff for mimosas, we’ll love you for it even more than we already do.

Feel free to bring friends, and reply below to let us know you’re coming!

Beach league is over. There’s no Vegas tournament. What are we going to do this Sunday?

BREAKFAST!
Come join us for another breakfast with the BOFAs. On the menu:

Banana Crepes
Spinach Jack Bread Pudding
Homefries with Peppers and Onions
Hot Apple Cider & Coffee
The Ultimate Bloody Mary Bar

In addition to breakfast, we’re going to do a white elephant gift exchange. The rules:

Everyone must bring a wrapped gift
Numbers will be drawn for the order of gift choosing from the pile of gifts
A gift can be stolen by the next person, but each gift can only be stolen twice before the gift is frozen
$5 max on all gifts, but buying a gift is discouraged (be creative)
The funniest gift / best gift bringers will be awarded with the first serving of breakfast

If you want to bring something to help with breakfast, champagne and OJ is always welcome for mimosas.

We’ll start cooking at 10:00, white elephant will go down at 11:00. If you plan on coming, RSVP through the form below so we know how much grub to grab at the store.

Hope to see you here!

Build Your Own Breakfast Burrito

Andy — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:58:39 +0000

It’s been a long time, but we have finally found a good weekend for another Breakfast with the BOFA’s. I was supposed to be in Chico playing in on a UCSD alumni team, but the tournament was cancelled due to the Northern California wildfires. As bummed as I am about that, I’m very happy that it opened up an unexpected weekend were we can have everyone over for breakfast.

We’re doing breakfast this Sunday, July 20th.. after another one of Zid’s parties. We were a little groggy after his last one, but we’re still planning on starting cooking between 10:00 and 10:30. Come then and hang out with a hot cup of coffee as we pretend to be awake.

This time we’re doing “Build Your Own Breakfast Burritos.” They can be as gourmet as you want, or as close to a 3am drunken burrito craving as you can get, because we’re making a ton of ingredients that you can use to make your own burrito masterpiece.

We’re thinking:

eggs
beans
rice
cheeses
hashbrowns
homemade salsa
sour cream
veggie sausage
avocado
guacamole
sauteed onions and bell peppers
mushrooms

We’re probably going to have a couple more sides, but those will get figured out as we get closer to Sunday.

As always, if you want to bring stuff for mimosas, that is great. We’ll have hot and iced coffee, the ULTIMATE bloody mary bar, and I’m going to see if I can put together a cauldron of homemade horchata. We’ll how that goes.

If you want to come, great. We’re going to use this nifty new website as our RSVP tool as well. Just leave a comment to this post that includes who you are, and who you want to bring, and maybe if you are bringing a fancy appetizer or beverage. Feel free to invite others, but just let us know so we can work the numbers into how much food we need to prepare. Comment away!

French Toast with Burbon Pecan Topping

Andy — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 01:09:09 +0000

This is our second Breakfast with the BOFAs. It’s getting colder out, so we want to make something warm and comfortable to keep people cozy in our Los Angeles winter. The menu was inspired by Square One’s french toast, which is absolutely delicious, (but expensive). We tried to duplicate it, and discovered that it isn’t actually too tough. The potatoes recipe was stolen from our sister in law Shelby, who makes these for family gathering. I love it, and figured it would be great for a December morning. The bionicos are there to lighten up the menu. The recipe was given to Cheyanne by a co-worker of Mexican decent. Bionico recipes are actually pretty tough to come across online, so Cheyanne got it straight from the source. Below is our menu.

French toast with bourbon-pecan topping and vanilla whipped cream
Savory cheddar cheese potato mash
Fresh fruit bionico
The original bloody mary bar
Hot fresh coffee

Sweet Banana Crepes

Andy — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 01:04:03 +0000

This is the first official Los Angeles breakfast with the BOFAs. We’re kicking it off with the feature (and our favorite) Gump breakfast dish, banana crepes. These were always great, and we’re bringing them to our LA friends, with the hopes of keeping you all coming back to our breakfasts. We’re also making some great potatoes that were inspired by a trip to Arizona that Cheyanne made while visiting her mom. She loved these potatoes, so she figured she would give them a try. Check out the rest of the menu below.

French crepes filled with a sweet cream sauce and sliced bananas
Country roasted red potatoes and peppers loaded with cheese*, tomatoes*, onions, mushrooms*, sour cream* and avocado*
*we actually forgot to put this stuff on top.. got too excited I guess.
Veggie egg scramble with spinach, onions, and broccoli topped with feta cheese
