glorious leftovers - and the recipe for roasted cauliflower

Saturday mornings are for moving slowly.  French pressed coffee and warm frothy milk share my relaxed attention with the 'Off Duty' section of the WSJ.  Incidentally,  there's a recipe on today's 'Eating and Drinking' page for Buckwheat Hazlenut Sables that I'm dying to try!

Breakfast on these lazy days is usually comprised of an egg, paired with something to sop of the yolk.  This morning, that something was roasted cauliflower, left over from last night's dinner party.  While I warmed the cauliflower in the oven, I poached my egg, perfectly soft, so that the warm yolk would break open and soak into my breakfast.  I drizzled white truffle oil over the egg and crumbled a few sea salt flakes on top of that.  

Now for the roasted cauliflower.  My sister made this for Christmas dinner and I must admit, her's was better.  She adapted her recipe from one she found over on the most lovely Roost Blog ( a must must must read!).   It's so simple really, but the delicate flavors of sweet onion, fresh cauliflower and musty truffle oil are divine.
