BAUERNFRUEHSTUECK – GERMAN FARMER BREAKFAST
farmers breakfast If you don’t know what a Bauernfruehstueck – German Farmer Breakfast is you will find out now. It’s basically a potato-egg breakfast with other ingredients that can be varied. You can add Salami, ham, bacon, sausages, cheese, veggies etc. This breakfast dish will for sure give you a good start into a new day. Happy Cooking!
Ingredients German Farmer Breakfast (2 servings) 5 potatoes 4 eggs 4 tbsp milk or heavy cream 4 slices salami, Speck, and/or boiled ham 1 small onion 2 garlic cloves – optional butter Salz und Pfeffer to taste, little bit of nutmeg 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley 1-2 pickles (preferably German)
Cooking Instructions Bauernfruehstueck – Boil potatoes. The best is to boil them the day before and use them the next day. – Cut salami, Speck or ham into small cubes. Chop onions/garlic very fine. – Peel potatoes and cut in thin slices. – Don’t use a small pan as you need to turn the content several times. – Heat some butter in a larger pan and fry half of the onions and garlic first until transparent, then add meat and sliced potatoes. – After 10 min add the remaining onions. Mix well. Spice to taste. – In a bowl beat the eggs (per person 2 eggs) with the milk. Spice with salt and pepper to taste. Add a hint of nutmeg
– When the potatoes are golden brown, pour the eggs over them. Let the eggs get firm. If you mix them they will get flaky. – Before serving add the chopped chives/parsley. – Place the pickles aside or slice them up.

Milk and eggs and potatoes plus assorted stuff.
I imagine it was a left overs dish.
A comment on the link:
Quote:
You might have added, that the Bauernfruehstueck is essentially a meal based on fried potatoes with eggs mixed in whichever way you prefer them cooked. The rest is what you have available "at the farm". Meat, veggies, cheese, anything goes. It is a medley of everything or very basic. And don't drink coffee with it. It is, tastewise, a hearty late morning brunch type dish you are free to mix with a beer or other light beverages. As opposed to American habits, you do not eat this as real "breakfast". (That's bread etc.) Farmers milk the cows at 5 a.m., feed all the animals, turn the hay as soon as the morning sun hits it and then come in for mid-morning sustenance. Eva from Bavaria.

That looks like a plate of vomit with green bugs all over it. On the other hand, it does look delicious and not much different than some breakfasts Tracy has made with the hash browns(potato cubes) mixed with the scrambled eggs and chopped bacon. YUMMY

Yes it looks pretty funky, would be good fuel for the day though with some spuds in it!

I as gone to say it looks like a pizza but after reading Daryl's description, he may be right. I thing I will stick to my traditional breakfast of coffee.

Looks great. A German variant of Spanish Tortilla de patatas.
I can think of far more simple and less delicious breakfast's.

I cook this dish quite regularly especially when away camping. It's easy to cook and most delicious. If I have just shot a deer we add some of the liver chopped up as well after soaking and rinsing the liver repeatedly in cold water, in which case it becomes a Jaegerfruehstueck or Hunters Breakfast. Makes the dish quite special.

The dish doesn't look aweful at all. Milk and eggs and unbrowned potatoes look like that when cooking. What does scrambled eggs look like before cooking? What does an omlett look like?
Waidmannsheil,
I was thinking this would make a good camp one pan dish, and you have confirmed it.
Sounds good, jaegerfruehstueck, with venison liver.
Why do you wash it out several times? Remove the blood? I've always eaten it, maybe a quick wash off, then in the fry pan. Lovely, until one crunches on something, them the mind changes the lovely.
I'm guessing soaking liver in milk overnight might work as well.
I've thought of bacon and or ham. Maybe Barossa fritz cut up. It's bland but good fried as a change. Mettwurst/salami for a spicier dish. Would have to try it to see how it would go. Kassler, smoked pork, or similar also would work well.
Some very different would be a seafood variant. Add some fish pieces, Prawns, Yabbies, Calamari, Crab meat, maybe even anchovies for spicy bite. All can be bought in tins, or caught fresh.
I'd try some bamboo shoots and sliced water chestnuts for Asian vegetables.
Celery, spring onions, some capsicum.
As I said, I think, the traditional dish was a dinner leftovers mid morning breakfast. Left over boiled potatoes, ham, some vege leftovers. In the absence of refrigeration eat left overs for breakfast, stew whatever. Leftovers deliberately more than need cooked makes my lunch most days. Leftover meals have evolved into proper dishes over time.
The farm breakfast. As the quotation says, some bread or toast, fruit juice and coffee pre dawn. Early morning chores. Then back for a substantial mid morning breakfast. An English breakfast, a "Continental" breakfast of scroll, baguette or toast, jam, cheese, cold meats. Cereals and milk. Coffee or tea, juices. Eggs, scrambled, fried, an omelette. This dish fits like an full breakfast omlette, filled with potatoes, and other goodies.
Very similar to a game viewing drive and some hunting and shooting, Something quick, very early, 4:30 am.. Pre dawn game viewing drive on safari, or dawn hunt. Dawn shoot. Back to base at say 9 am or even 11 am or midday, whatever time. For breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Of course a lot of hunting is a dawn to dusk affair,particularly if walking long. No coming back to Basecamp. If on safari and a vehicle, the chop box comes out. I want to build myself a couple of traditional wooden chop boxes. Nowadays a car fridge or coolbox is used. If walking, I carry some mueseli bars, an apple, a couple of small tins of mixed rice, beans, chicken, tuna or salmon. Some extra bars for emergency food. If carrying an army hexamine burner and mess canteen can, soup sachets, maybe a boil in the bag meal.

It does have a look of a potato and ham pizza. Variants of those make good solid eating.
