¡Hola mi agimos!

I’m excited to post about a breakfast recipe, since breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day! I love waking up early on a Saturday morning (i.e. around 9 AM, :-p ) and thinking of a fun recipe to start the day. My three favorite things to make for breakfast are eggs, oatmeal, and different kinds of beans – you may be thinking ‘beans for breakfast?’ Some beans actually make great breakfast items that I came to love, from my Egyptian tradition. Today, I’ll be sharing one of the many egg recipes I recently put together (and stay tuned for more on the oatmeal and beans in later posts!).

Here’s what you’ll need to make a delicious “south-of-the-border” scrambled (the avocado is what brings this recipe south of the border ):

• 2 organic, pastured eggs per person
• 1/2 teaspoon grass-fed butter
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tomato
• 2-3 scallions
• fresh cilantro
• salt and pepper, to taste

Making scrambled eggs is one of the easiest recipes to make… so any of you guys living alone can make this recipe in under 15 minutes with little effort, and it is guaranteed to be filling and to taste great!

Here’s how:

1. Beat eggs in a bowl.
2. On a cutting board, dice tomato, scallions, avocado, and cut up cilantro. Mix all except avocados together.
3. On stove top, melt 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of butter in a pan. Move pan around to make sure butter covers most of the bottom.
4. Add eggs. With a wooden spoon (a metal one will likely scrape the bottom of the pan), stir eggs on high heat for 3 minutes until eggs begin to harden.
5. Lower to medium heat. Keep stirring with wooden spoon for 5 minutes until desired consistency of eggs is achieved.
6. Add 1/3 of the tomato-scallion-cilantro mixture to eggs on stove top. Mix and stir on low heat for 1-2 minutes.
7. Put scrambled eggs on one side of the plate. On the other side, mix the rest of the tomato-scallion-cilantro mixture with the cut-up avocados.
8. Add extra virgin olive oil and lime juice to the avocado salad.
9. Add salt and pepper on both the eggs and the salad, to taste.
10. Enjoy the eggs while they’re still hot!

Here’s what it should look like…  ¡Buen apetito!
