Bruschetta Scrambled Eggs
All the flavors of Bruschetta in your breakfast Eggs!
So here in Minnesota it is nearing the end of October. Yes, Autumn can bring some chilly temperatures at night. Our local meteorologist was predicting frost at night and low temps nearing 28 degrees. That means any outdoor produce will be affected by a hard freeze!
I still had some Basil and Sweet Tomatoes hanging on by a thread in my garden and I thought I had better find a few ways to use them up. I know I can dry Basil but I say fresh is best.
Starting off with breakfast today I made Bruschetta Scrambled Eggs. They were a hit. So easy, and flavorful. If you like Bruschetta, you are gonna love these Eggs!
BRUSCHETTA SCRAMBLED EGGS
Ingredients:
- 4 Farm Fresh Eggs
- 1 Cup Tomatoes, diced
- Handful of Basil Leaves, chiffonade
- 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Directions:
1. In a small bowl whisk together the Eggs. Then fold in the Basil.
2. Add the Olive Oil to a large non-stick saute pan, over medium/low heat add the Egg mixture into the prepared pan. Give your Pepper mill a few good turns over the Eggs. Use a high heat spatula to start to scramble your Eggs. This type of spatula really works best to avoid the Eggs from sticking to the bottom of your pan and brings them all together nicely.
3. Just as the Eggs are starting to come together, fold in the Tomatoes. You don’t want to overcook the Tomatoes. They should be fresh, not mushy. Next sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Cheese over the Eggs. This should melt in nicely as the Eggs finish cooking.
4. Just before you remove the Eggs from the pan, add in the remaining Cheese and give one last turn of the Pepper mill over all. Give a few good stirs with your spatula and you are ready to plate your Eggs. This will serve 2 people so double the recipe if you are cooking for the family.
Serve this with hearty wheat toast slices or classic toast points. Feel free to also throw a little Bacon on the side if you wish.
