Ok, I made this kind of crazy breakfast the last 2 days, but I loved it and it involved…pearl barley! I just posted about how I had never tried it before and I’ve had it 4 days in a row.
Here is what I made:
This version had 1 cup of cooked barley, 1 carrot, a tablespoon of diced poblano pepper, and chopped garlic. Then I cooked 1 egg + 1 egg white like a fried egg, cut that into strips, and added few shavings of fresh parmesan cheese.
I seasoned it with salt and pepper. I didn’t even need to put a sauce on it. It was creamy and amazing. This huge bowl is only 365 calories too!
Since I liked it so much, here is version #2:
This version again started with 1 cup cooked barley, 1 carrot, 1 parsnip, 1/2 jalapeno, diced, 2 cloves of garlic, chopped, 1 green onion, chopped, 2 slices deli salami + .25 oz. fresh parmesan cheese + 1 fried egg, chopped.
It took me like an hour to eat this! Do you think that’s a weird breakfast?
Hope everyone had a great day, I’m off to read a gift I got in the mail today:
My Bon Appetit!

Hi Jenn, oooh….your photo makes me want a savory barley breakfast SOON!!! Have a great day.
That looks good! I like barley and I recently discovered farro which is even tastier than barley.
There is no such thing as a weird breakfast!
I love it!!! I do a ‘breakfast risotto’ and this is kind of like that – I am SO trying this – but maybe with quinoa – thoughts? Love it!
Thanks for the blog recommendation (and fellow foodie love) on this post!
Your breakfast risotto looks really good…I’m going to have to give it a try.
Happy Friday!
