Scrambled Eggs on the Fly
Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 12:55PM Sometimes I feed Abigail and forget to eat myself. I mentally check it off my list. It's a double mental check I need to do, or my stomach reminds me half way through the morning. We put our kids first so many times, we forget we need to stay strong too! Eggs are an easy breakfast, full on nutrients, and can hold a busy person over until lunch.
Did you know that spicy food can boost your metabolism? Here is a quick way to spice things up without spending more than 10 minutes in the kitchen! Meant for adults unless kids can handle the heat. This serves one. Increase as needed. Heat scale= medium.
What you need:
* 2 organic eggs whisked with a splash of milk and dash of salt
* diced up onions and green or red peppers (we always have some left from salad fixings)
* 1/2 Tablespoon butter or Tablespoon Olive oil
* Dash of Tobasco sauce
* handful of Shredded Cheese
Simply melt butter (or olive oil) in small fry pan on medium. Toss in vegetables, crack some black pepper over them, sauté until desired consistency. I like a little body to them, to leave a little crunch. Add whisked egg mixture. Let sit a bit before flipping...makes it fluffy from air getting underneath. Sprinkle desired amount of Tabasco sauce on top...flavors blend, it doesn't add as much HEAT as you may expect. However be conservative, you can always add more when done...and scrape bottom to flip eggs. Sauté until no longer runny. Remove from heat, transfer to a plate, sprinkle top with favorite shredded cheese. Eat warm is a must! Give yourself a few minutes to enjoy a warm breakfast!
(If you want to really treat yourself, add a Tablespoon of cream-cheese to the eggs before removing from heat. YUM!)
