Greatest TV show ever

I swear to god, I just came across this in the craziest way. I was online looking for BBC Tv shows, its a bit of an issue to stream BBC from here in the US because of rights. I typed in UK TV to see if I can find something streaming and found UKTV.com…so I went.

it had this show which I thought when looking at the picture above it was British…its not. It was on VH1 here in the states and I fucking love this show.

Watching rich spoiled bitches fight with each other and have to work for a living makes me giggle like a mother fucker. So I suggest if you’ve never watched it…to watch it.

Here are some links to download some episodes, find the rest yourself like I had to.

Simple Starters – Open Faced Egg Sandwich

A simple starter for the day, under 400 calories and under 5.00 to make.

You are going to need:

2 Eggs (you can use 1 if you want less calories)
1/4 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese (lite if you are watching your weight)
2 strips of Cherry Smoked bacon (I get mine from Whole Foods)
1 Trader Joe’s Tandoori Naan bread
1 Tablespoon Trader Joe’s Tomato and Basil Hummus.
1 Teaspoon of butter
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

I did this on a grill that covered both burners , if you don’t have one…read the recipe but cook the bacon first, then eggs, then tandoori..make sure you clean the pan each time before cooking the next item, it should come out the same.

The first thing you want to do before you even start to cook is temper the eggs by putting them in hot water, not super hot water just a bit above warm for 2 minutes.
this will thicken them up a bit and make them easier to handle when cooking. Its especially great to do this before making an omelette, which we are not doing today BUT…you can replace with our over easy eggs.

Once the 2 minutes are up drain the water and grease up your skillet or flat grill with a tablespoon of olive oil, i usually put it on a paper towel and rub down the grill.
Turn the front burner on to medium high and the back burner covering the back part of the skillet on medium low and once ready (warmed up) place the Tandoori Naan on the back burner end of the grill or skillet and crack both eggs and place them on the front or larger burner of the skillet.

The Tandoori Naan i am talking about btw is the small sorta oval Naan that Trader Joe’s sells…if you get em when they are fresh…they are killer.

Salt and pepper the eggs while they cook up and then place the 2 strips of bacon between the tandoori and the eggs…if your skillet takes up both burners like mine, you will have plenty of room and these things won’t touch.

when the eggs are just about ready to be flipped you want to spin the skillet around (its easier than moving the food) so the eggs are on the back or lower burner and the tandoori is on the front. Its here you want grab a teaspoon of butter, take the tandoori off the grill for a second, place down the butter covering the area the bread was on…then place the bread BACK on. You want the bread to soak up the butter and get nice and toasty on the bottom.

about 1 minute into this you want to remove the bread and plate it then push the bacon to where the bread was and then flip the eggs. at this point i had to turn my bacon over so you might want to do the same. If your griddle, skillet or grill gets hotter than mine faster you may want to monitor the bacon.

the eggs after the flipping need a bit of cheese love, take the shredded cheese now and sprinkle it over the eggs, once the cheese starts to melt a bit, flip one of the eggs over onto the other and shut off the back burner.

Go back to your bread now and take the tablespoon of Hummus and spread it on the bread.
Place the eggs on the bread.
The bacon should be nice and crispy now…if so pull it off and place it on paper towels to blot off the grease. place these on the eggs.

boom…yer done…now enjoy this with a nice black tea or dark roast coffee and you are SO SET to start your day.
