Sunday Brunch – A Quickie!!!

We all love Sundays, don’t we??? Waking up late is a great way to begin it. So obviously the time for breakfast is gone and you feel hungry before lunch time. On top of that you do not feel like cooking, like actual cooking! So here we come with our quickie Sunday Brunch. A salad, a sandwich served with wafers along with a thirst quencher.. And the best part is everything together took just took a little over half an hour..  So let’s get started!!!

Egg Mayonnaise Sandwich

Egg is always one of the best options for breakfast, a very healthy & nutritious choice. And this sandwich is quite a filling one, atleast not to make you hungry till evening.

Ingredients

• Sandwich Bread (4-6 slices)
• 3 Eggs
• 2 Tbsp of Mayonnaise
• 1 Tsp of mixed herbs
• Pepper
• Salt
• A pinch of red chili flakes
• Butter
• Wafers

Method

Boil the eggs, peel them & keep aside. The best time to peel boiled eggs is when they are still hot.

Cut the eggs into for pieces and put them in a bowl.

Put the mayonnaise, herbs, pepper, chilli flakes, salt as per taste in a bowl & mix it well.

Mix the mayonnaise mixture with the eggs, making sure that the eggs are not smashed. We want to keep the texture of the eggs.

Put butter on the bread slices. Put the egg mayonnaise mixture on one slice & cover it with another.

Grill it if you like a grilled sandwich and serve it with wafers.

Watermelon Juice

No other fruit says summer choice than the faintly crunchy, thirst slaking watermelon. Summer’s preferred fruit has more going for it than a better excuse for a picnic. Turns out this sweet and juicy luxury is loaded with hither multiple that charges blood movement in much the same way Viagra and other “performance” drugs do.

Ingredients

• One watermelon chopped
• Sugar as per as your taste
• A pinch of salt
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 Tsp of Jaljeera
• Mint leaves if you like

Method

Slice the watermelon. Take out the red pulpy layer and chop it roughly into parts. Abandon the outer white layer.

In a mixer add sugar, lemon juice, salt and along with watermelon. Blend it well. Store at a low temperature for a while. Do not add water as watermelon itself has water content in it.

Best when served cool.

Chicken Salad

To many people salad seems to be very boring and so a complete no no. But I am sure that this one they would have more than willingly.

Ingredients

• 2 Cups of chicken cubes
• 1 Cup of chopped lettuce
• 4-6 green olives pitted
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• Half cup of chopped onions
• Chopped cherry tomatoes
• Chopped broccoli

For the dressing

• Basil
• Thyme
• Red Chili Flakes
• 3 Tbsp of Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp of Mayonnaise
• Parmesan Cheese

Method

To poach chicken for this recipe, start with a pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large (2 to 3-inch) pieces. Bring a 2 quart pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the chicken to the boiling water, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the chicken pieces sit in the hot water for 15 minutes, then drain the water and chop the chicken pieces into smaller pieces for the salad.

Blanch the broccoli in salt water. Chop all the other veggies into small pieces. Mix them with the chicken pieces.

Prepare the chicken salad dressing in a separate smaller bowl. Mix together the mayonnaise and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add basil, thyme and chilli flakes.

Gently stir the dressing in with the chicken and other salad ingredients. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Grate the parmesan cheese on the salad and mix it well.

So there you go with a wonderful brunch!!

Happy Cooking
