the borough—it’s usually for his young son, Alex. Hence this simple but stellar one-egg omelet
beefed up with great olive oil, beans, avocados, and a little bit of wheat germ (because, says
Gorlechen, “it gives him stuff he would otherwise never get”). Gorlechen apologizes to East
Coast cooks for the avocado, which isn’t found locally, but we think he makes up for it with his
eggs, which are laid by the chickens that live on the brewery’s rooftop farm and boast extra-
rich, electric orange yolks, thanks to their diet of spent grain. Jeff recommends you pair this with
Sixpoint’s Righteous Rye (if you’re not making it for a child).
1 extra-large organic egg
1 tbsp organic whole milk
1 tbsp organic wheat germ
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 ripe avocado, 4 tbsp mashed, the balance cubed for garnishing
1¼ inch slice colby jack or milder cheddar cheese, preferably organic
4 tbsp cooked and drained black beans (canned or fresh)
