Val Verde Scramble Recipes

SCRUMPTIOUS SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• In a medium sized, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the onion-tomato mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• In a medium bowl lightly beat together the whole eggs, egg whites and water, if using. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over a medium-low flame, stirring frequently, until the eggs are almost set. Drain any excess water from the tomato mixture and stir the mixture gently into the eggs. Toss in the dill, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
• Serving suggestion: Serve with a piece of whole-grain toast spread with 1/8 of an avocado, instead of butter.

KENTUCKY FARMHOUSE SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and oil and swirl around the pan until melted. Add the country ham and saute until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low. Stir in roasted red peppers and beaten eggs. After the eggs begin to set, stir slowly from edge to edge with a heat-resistant rubber spatula until large curds form. This will take 5 minutes or so. When eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pan from the heat and serve with fried green tomatoes and buttermilk biscuits with sorghum butter.

VEGGIE AND EGG UNITE SCRAMBLE

Mix the curry and tofu with the sauteing veggies. Reduce the heat to low and stir the eggs. Continue to cook and stir only when the eggs are set, about 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve 4 ounces of the golden eggs with warm tortillas and fresh salsa Rancho Colorado.

Place the chiles with 1 of the charred tomatoes and a little onion in a blender or food processor and process until blended add the remaining tomato, onion, garlic, oregano, and cilantro and pulse until chunky. Season with the salt.
