Steak & Eggs, But Make It Cozy

This is not a light breakfast. This is a sit-down, cancel-your-plans, respect-the-plate kind of breakfast.

A perfectly medium-rare steak, cooked in the air fryer for just 6 minutes (because efficiency and flavor can coexist), topped with pillowy poached eggs that are one gentle poke away from absolute yolk chaos (aka medium poached!!).

Underneath? A full bed of roasted root vegetables doing the most:

• Kabocha squash

• Yams

• Parsnips

• Baby potatoes

All roasted until golden and caramelized, then paired with deeply sautéed mushrooms and peppers that bring that rich, savory balance you only get when you don’t rush the pan.

This is classic steak and eggs energy, but elevated. Cozy. A little dramatic. The kind of breakfast that makes the kitchen smell incredible and the person eating it very, very quiet.

No garnish. No nonsense. Just real food, cooked with intention, and served like it means something.
