Farmers’ Market Summer Breakfast
August 23, 2010 • Breakfast, Fruit, Local Sources
I signed up for something new this year – a fruit share from Ela Family Farms. I’ve had a bad habit in recent years of forgetting to eat enough fruit, which is a shame considering how delicious the Colorado grown fruit is. I figured a CSA share would ensure I got my fill. I pick up my share at the Old South Pearl Street Farmers’ Market on Sunday mornings – one of my very favorite markets because of it’s compact space filled with families and great vendors. Yesterday the share from Ela included great yellow and purple plums, a selection of heirloom tomatoes, and incredibly sweet and delicious peaches.I also bought some fresh goat cheese from Mini Moo so whipped up this very California or European type of breakfast when I returned. A nice smear of goat cheese on a couple of slices of my Irish Brown Soda Bread, drizzled with high quality extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkled with some cracked pepper and sea salt, alongside a sliced peach. Heaven on a plate!
