Man Coffee

• 24 fluid ounces filtered water
• ½ cup freshly ground coffee
• Pinch kosher salt

Bring water to a boil in an electric kettle or in the microwave. Meanwhile, place the ground coffee and salt into a French press carafe. Pour the water over the grounds. Place the plunger in the carafe, but do not press down. Brew for 4 minutes, then slowly push the plunger down. Drink immediately, or hold in a thermos for up to 3 hours.

Makes 4 (6-ounce) cups of coffee.

Man Bacon

• 3 rashers thick-sliced bacon, cut in half

Heat a waffle iron to medium heat. Lay the bacon on the waffle iron and close lid. Cook for 2½ minutes. Move the bacon pieces so the unseared areas now come in direct contact with the metal. Close the lid and cook for another 2½ to 5 minutes, depending on desired crispness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve rendered fat for another use. Depending on the bacon, you will have 1 to 3 tablespoons of fat.

Makes 1 serving.

Man Eggs

• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp unsalted butter
• Pinch kosher salt
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat for 2 minutes. Crack the eggs into a custard cup. Melt the butter in the pan and, once it foams, gently add the eggs. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 3 minutes for slightly runny yolks and 5 to 6 minutes for set yolks. Serve immediately on a warm plate.

Makes 1 serving.

Man Hash Browns

• 4 ounces Idaho or Russet potatoes, scrubbed, rinsed, but not peeled
• Pinch kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp bacon fat

Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. While the pan is heating, grate the potato on the largest hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a tea towel to remove excess moisture.

Add the fat to the pan and scatter evenly with the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes without disturbing. Decrease the heat to low, flip the potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Makes 1 serving.
