Veggie to try with scrambled eggs...

[G-Mom]

I was getting sick of eating onion, pepper and tomato, or spinach with scrambled eggs, so I tried something new: ZUCCHINI!! I went to the farmer's market on saturday and picked up a zucchini, but didn't have anything yummy to stir-fry it with, ie. chicken or beef, so I made scrambled eggs and then I separately fried up zucchini in butter and ate them together. It was sooooo yummy!

Yay zucchini!!

Yellow squash is good too!

Also try cabbage with it. You'll need to blanche it or saute it alittle first.

But what's super-duper yummy is chopped fresh herbs. I l.o.v.e fresh basil and garlic in scrambled eggs. Saute the garlic, and cook with the egg. When the eggs are setting, add the basil. And right before you eat them, top with some parmesan cheese!!!!!!!

I've been baking quiche lately. Lots of veggies and mushrooms in the pan, then eggs with a little heavy cream with lots of herbs wisked in. No one misses the crust.

Re: Veggie to try with scrambled eggs...

Do you ever make frittatta's (sp??)? Usually I sautee some onions in butter and then add whatever's leftover that looks interesting. On the weekend I added marinated wax bean salad and the lone steak that was leftover. Then I mixed up some eggs and cream and mixed things up in the pan with the eggs. When they were almost set I grated some cheese on top and then broiled until it was puffy and golden. This is our creative use of leftovers and with all the combos I've tried, we haven't had a bad one yet. The moral of the story? I don't think there's anything that doesn't go with eggs. Mmmmmm.

My hubby is the Fritatta master. That man can't cook anything else right. He makes them with zucchini, onion, sausage and pepperjack cheese. soo tasty.

Re: Veggie to try with scrambled eggs...

This is a really interesting recipe for an omelette using olives, fennel and dill:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups thinly sliced fresh fennel bulb, fronds chopped and reserved
8 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped pitted green brine-cured olives

5 large eggs, beaten to blend with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 4-ounce package crumbled goat cheese Provençal (with thyme, basil, and sweet red pepper)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fennel bulb; sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Cover and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and mash with fork; mix in olives. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to medium bowl.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same skillet; heat over medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and cook until eggs are just set in center, tilting skillet and lifting edges of omelet with spatula to let uncooked portion flow underneath, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle half of cheese over half of omelet, then top with fennel mixture. Sprinkle dill over, then remaining cheese. Using spatula, fold uncovered half of omelet over cheese; slide onto plate. Garnish with chopped fennel fronds and serve.

Re: Veggie to try with scrambled eggs...

This is what I made this morning with leftovers.

I cooked some spinach, and onions. I cut up a leftover chicken breast that had some hot sauce cooked into it. Mixed it all together. I then put it in an omlette with cheese. I also added some salsa and sour cream on top. It is really yummy.

BTW, I can't think of a vegetable that I haven't tried with eggs. My favorite lately has been cabbage, bacon, and eggs.

Re: Veggie to try with scrambled eggs...

Thank you everyone for all these superb ideas! Can't wait to try them with my homegrown chicken eggs (we raise chickens--nothing like fresh eggs!!)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Crepes:
2 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons butter -- melted

1 tablespoon splenda -- 1 drop stevia
3 tablespoons soy protein isolate--(I USE VANILLA WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla -- to taste
1 tablespoon splenda -- 1/2 drop stevia
1 1/2 cups strawberries -- sliced

To make cream: beat cream until stiff, add vanilla and Stevia to taste. To make crepes: whisk together eggs, cream, water, butter, salt, and Stevia until well-mixed. Add protein powder and whisk until smooth. Heat frying pan to medium hot, melt a little butter in pan, and pour in 1/6 of crepe batter, tilting pan this way and that so that batter spreads out. Cook until top is dry and full of air holes, then turn and cook briefly on second side.
Remove to plate and set aside while cooking remaining crepes.

To assemble: Place crepe on plate with good side down. Spread with cream. Top with 1/4 cup strawberries, and fold top of crepe over cream and strawberries. Top crepe with dollop of whipped cream and slice of strawberry.

Re: Veggie to try with scrambled eggs...

Really, any left over veggie is great with eggs. Omelet or scrambled. I have only done fritattas once but that is a great idea, very easy. I do love to cut the zuchini very thin with some broc and a bit of onion and some mushroom and maybe bell pepper and stir fry it in olive oil until it is tender, and then add the eggs and scramble it together. You can make those scrambled bowls like they have at the restaraunts just without the potato. Veggies, eggs and cheese,and then add the cooked bacon or sausage to it and eat it out of a bowl. We do that once in a while. Very very good.
