Yep, that's today's breakfast. The plating took longer than the cooking. I just added mayonnaise on the egg before cooking it. As for the okra, here's the recipe:
8 pcs okra, sliced (cut off the tips)
6 slices of bacon, diced
1 1/2T garlic, minced (if you love garlic as much as my husband does, you can add more)
Start with a hot pan, render the fat from the bacon. I opted not to wait for the bacon to crisp, so I added in the okra and garlic to cook along with it. That's that.
As for the assembly, using a round cookie cutter, cut out discs from the scrambled egg. The number of discs would depend on the size of the scrambled egg and cookie cutter.
Sandwich the bacon in between discs. Using the round cookie cutter again, hold it above the topmost layer of the egg disc. May not be a good idea to rest the cookie cutter on the egg as the weight of the cookie cutter might cause the egg disc tower to collapse. Just hold the cookie cutter with your left hand and start filling it with okra until the diameter of the cutter has been filled with the okra. Or if you want to do a little cheat to make the okra stick on the egg, spread some mayo on the egg. Pat the okra on the egg and gently lift the cookie cutter.
I decided to drizzle some balsamic vinegar on it more for presentation, it apparently still tasted well with the rest of the dish.
All that effort of assembling it took A a matter of seconds to destroy and a few minutes to eat (with rice). I took that as a complement.
