Scrambling for Veggies

August 30, 2009January 2, 2020Posted in RecipesTagged basil, bell pepper, eggsLeave a comment

Last time I wrote we didn’t have enough veggies, but a plethora of bell peppers, heirloom tomatoes, and beets arrived Wednesday with our Capay delivery. So, this morning we made a healthy veggie scramble:

Start by sauteeing the (sliced or chopped) bell peppers in olive oil; set aside in foil to keep warm and tender
Prepare the scrambled eggs (I used about 8 eggs total for two of us); then add the bell peppers and stir
Add fresh, chopped basil and stir; serve scramble with fresh, ground pepper

No cheese, you say? You won’t even realize it’s missing.

Case of the Mondays

Easy soup from scratch – I boiled leftover (frozen) chicken broth from all those nights of boiling chicken. To the simmering broth I added white beans from the can, chopped onions, Parmesan, and fresh basil.

David suggested adding scrambled eggs and we poured the combo over white rice. Call it recession recipe, or simply a lack of groceries, but it was healthy and hearty!

Tuscan Breakfast Sandwiches

To accompany our first tomato, I made breakfast sandwiches with a Tuscan slant. First I sauteed onions in butter, then poured in the egg batter to make a scramble – which I topped with fresh ground pepper and basil. I toasted sourdough, added shaved Parmesan to the scramble and sliced the tomato, which was still warm under the Mountain View sun! 😉

Counting Down to Monte Cristo

No time to cook? Have milk, eggs, bread, deli meat, jam and cheese? I wax nostalgic (Disneyland’s Blue Bayou) and cheat my way through Monte Cristo sandwiches.

A Monte Cristo is a fancier version of French toast with a hearty center: turkey, ham or pastrami; jam, and cheese. Powdered sugar is optional.

My way is from memory and couldn’t be easier. Make batter from equal parts egg and milk. Fry enough soaked slices of bread to make two sandwiches. Meanwhile, warm the deli meat in the microwave, then serve along with melted cheese and jam between slices, et voilà!
