Building a nest…..
One step….
at a time….
Sunny side up eggs, potatoes two ways, heirloom tomato, fresh avocado and herbed butter

This breakfast…..
Hashbrown, leftover fried potato, bacon, heirloom tomato, sunny side up egg, Hollandaise, chive, thyme and parsley herbed butter and a lot of inspiration.
A nod to the genius of Francis Mallman and his love and respect of the potato. Treat her nicely with butter and herbs.
Thanks to the lovely etuHOME for staging pieces including the wooden spoon and scoop.
