Trying to cut back on the amount of dairy I’m taking in, so I’m working on some recipe variations to my favorites that usually feature yummy, melty fromage. Starting with a simple scrambled egg recipe. Just inhaled this one, so I can definitely testify that the cheese was not missed. In fact, I don’t have that heavy feeling just after eating. Perhaps a good thing, huh?
- 2 eggs
- 1 scallion (green onion) chopped fine
- 2 basil leaves chopped fine
- 1 small tomato, rough cut
- 1/8 cup cubed ham
- Salt and pepper to taste
In a hot skillet, start with a tsp of olive oil and the eggs, lightly beaten with a fork. Toss in the cubed ham as you stir the eggs. Once things begin to form, throw in the basil and scallions and incorporate. At the very end, put in the tomatoes and stir for about 30-45 seconds before plating. I put a couple shakes of jalepeno sauce on top, which brought the dish together nicely. Colorful and light – a great breakfast, give it a shot.
