Two Ways with Eggs

July 18, 2010 in Egg by Joyce Bunderson

We don’t eat eggs for breakfast often, but I snapped some pictures of two breakfasts in the last month.

  • The first is nothing more than breaking eggs into a skillet and mixing in fresh-snipped basil. It was served with avocado and salsa.
  • The second egg breakfast was just this morning. I sliced a half of a large red onion and cut the slices into half again; and diced a whole green pepper. Sautéed the onions and peppers in extra virgin olive oil. Broke the eggs over the vegetables and added the snipped basil leaves. Served with whole-wheat toast and avocado.
  • Note that the second method (which is a favorite fast-egg breakfast method) is an easy and tasty way to increase vegetable consumption – filling up on the vegetables, but needing less egg to be satisfied (proportionally less egg/more veggies). Also, it tastes great.
