Happy Wednesday, loves!
Lydia and I have been preparing breakfast to-order lately. Here’s our menu from this past weekend:
Freshly-squeezed OJ, coffee and tea
Eggs Any Way with bacon and/or sausage, toast and/or a cheddar biscuit warm from the oven
Smoked Salmon Omelet with chive crème fraîche
Belgian Waffle with warm maple syrup
Oatmeal topped with caramelized bananas and pecans.
This weekend we’ll add a breakfast BLTA—an egg sandwich with bacon, arugula, oven-roasted tomato and avocado on toasted sourdough.
But nothing compares to a toasted nutella & banana breakfast sandwich.
I advise dusting with powdered sugar and presenting it to the one you love on a special plate. Or you can savor it my way— straight from a paper towel, alone at the kitchen counter.

Nutella & Banana Breakfast Panini
Serves 1 lucky duck
Ingredients
2 slices egg bread (brioche or challah)
1-2 tablespoons nutella
1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
Directions
Preheat your panini press or a nonstick pan over medium-high heat
Spread the nutella evenly on one side of each bread slice. Top one piece with the sliced bananas and press the bread into a sandwich. Spread both sides with butter and place in the the hot press or pan.
Close your panini press until bread is toasty and nutella has melted, about 3 minutes. If using a nonstick pan, press the sandwich down with a heavy lid or your spatula. Turn your heat to medium and flip when the first side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Cook until the second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.

[…] Bottega Louie—Gorgeous. A renovated Art Deco bank turned fine Italianate eatery with cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, marble floors and counters. The service is grand and the food walks the line between elegant and crave-worthy, e.g. meatball pizza and portobello “fries” with garlic aioli. I’m partial to the green juice and pain au chocolat, though not necessarily on the same trip. The pastry counter and mini market is full of little treasures like European sea salts, baguette sandwiches and nutella. […]

[…] yet. The delicious combo of savory pork, sweet berry chutney and crusty baguette edges out the banana nutella panino by virtue of the fact that it’s healthier and tastes exactly like summer. Fresh […]
