Not another weekend benny...
I know some people may never tire of the classic but I’m not
the hugest fan. If I do order it I’ll substitute avocado for the muffin but
recently have been introduced to a side of rice. Genius.
This blog has been more of a cookbook and now it’s time for my restaurant review post. Avenue Bistro in Comox, BC. Little sister to the well-known Atlas Cafe in Courtenay this restaurant is delish and those chefs know how to produce the most perfect polenta dishes! I didn’t even know I liked polenta until I had the appy (many times now). What I’m recommending to the adventurous weekend breakfast-outer is the Italian Benny with a side of fresh fruit and the best breakfast potatos you’ve tried, half sweet potato. Anyways these perfectly poached eggs are served on polenta with a small amount a tomato puree, fresh basil and shaved parmesan. Have I inspired your weekend breakfast plans? Awaken your taste buds to this delicious dish. And then have a nap.
I really should have called this post "Plenty of Polenta" because I added the appy photo as well. Oh yeah....

ReplyDeleteI wasn't either until I had it there! They know what they're doing it's not mushy at all. Crisp outter layer nice and firm centre. (PS, other click on the pictures to zoom!)
