Eggs: Simple & Satisfying

This was my breakfast today. Very simple, filling, healthy and I am content!

Scrambled Eggs with Tomato

1 Whole Egg
2 Egg Whites (less fat and cholesterol)
1 Roma Tomato (Sliced in half and cut into wedges)
Cholula hot sauce
Salt & Pepper
2 Soft yellow corn tortillas (El Milagro is my favorite)

1. Heat the pan and spray with nonstick spray. Save on the oil, less fat and calories. Beat eggs in a bowl and add to pan. Scramble as you normally do to make scrambled eggs. I think its best when the eggs are fluffy yet still have the natural moisture. If they start to take on any color they are over cooked and drying out. Not ideal.

2. Since my pan is wide enough, I scramble my small portion of eggs on one side and on other I heat tortillas. Warm them up on each side until soft and flexible. Will be hot to the touch.

3. Put tortillas on plate. At this point if you want cheese I recommend a white shredded cheese or queso fresco crumbled on the hot tortilla. I chose not to have cheese so I just add eggs to tortilla, add a generous amount of Cholula, top with tomato then add salt and pepper to the tomato. Simple and easy. Took me less than 5 minutes.


Eggs are becoming a big staple in my kitchen. I will buy a couple dozen at a time. Its great protein, versatile, can be enjoyed not just for breakfast but boiled and chopped and added to a salad, can pre boil some and leave in fridge and if ever need a quick protein snack munch on that. I tend to throw the majority of the yolks out, but I do enjoy them on occasion.

I have to say this presentation of eggs this morning is one of my all time favorites. Maybe with fresh pico de gallo. I also LOVE eggs over easy then add pico de gallo to the pan and have the eggs cook in that for a minute. I eat that over whole wheat toast. I have to say that one is the best!! Give it a try!

Sweet & Savory Breakfast Casserole

I wanted to make a high protein breakfast, all in one package deal. I also had a craving for sweet and savory along with apples and ham. I came up with this last minute and its simply delicioso!!! Makes me want to say..Oh my.....

Sweet & Savory Breakfast Casserole

1 dozen large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 large Pink Lady apple, diced
2 cups finely diced Ham
1 small Red Onion, diced
4 soft yellow corn tortillas, cut into strips then diced
Olive Oil
Maple Syrup
Red Hot sauce
1 cup shredded Colby jack cheese

1. Preheat oven @ 400. Spray a glass 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Set a side.

2. In pan with oil to coat, saute red onions just until they start sweating. Add apples and cook for 1 minute. Spread on glass pan. Drizzle with Maple syrup. Lightly drizzle the whole surface..don't saturate it..well you can if you want...you have free will! Then add diced ham on top of that and drizzle with a little red hot over the ham. Just a little, scattered, a bit lighter on this one.

3. In pan with oil to coat add tortillas and cook until soft and starts sticking a little. Then add on top of ham mixture.

4. Beat 12 eggs with dijon and salt & pepper. I gave it about a Tbsp of milk..out of habit. Beat up well and pour evenly over mixture in pan.

5. Bake for 20 min. Then spread shredded cheese and bake for another 15 min.

This was making me hungry. The smell was just simply wonderful. It tastes awesome! The combo of the syrup and apples with the savoriness of the ham and onions and red hot..magic!!! Tortillas simply added for depth and texture. Which have their own distinct homemade taste. Need I really say anymore except moan..........

This would be great with sausage, turkey at that. Maybe some sage also and can also change it up and add some cinnamon bread diced in place of tortilla. Ohhh yeah. Mmmmm...enjoy!
