Sometimes it’s fun to just go through your fridge and throw together all the bits of veggies and meat that aren’t enough to make a stand-alone meal but combine splendidly to make quite a filling breakfast (or lunch, or dinner). I have a strange love affair with eggs: scrambled, hard-boiled, over easy, fried, and recently poached. What a versatile food product, and chock full of protein! If only the yolk wasn’t chock full of cholesterol too..

For my most recent creation, I literally threw in everything I could from the fridge that wouldn’t taste TOO weird with egg. I didn’t use exact measurements, but eyeballed the amount of broccoli and tomato, bacon and Laughing Cow swiss cheese that would combine well with 3 eggs without overfilling and breaking the egg when the omelette was flipped. I ripped the strips of bacon (that came fully cooked in the package) into smaller strips. The cheese didn’t melt as well as I had hoped, so there were huge chunks of cheese scattered around. I recommend lightly cooking the tomato and broccoli before putting it with the egg. The flip was successful for once too! Though I had to use two spatulas and maneuver it slowly so the egg wouldn’t break mid-flip. The recipe served two semi-hungry eaters; adjust amount of ingredients appropriately.

With such pretty weather I’ve been spending more time in the garden than in the kitchen ~For this Friday Favorites let’s take a look at what is blooming right now. var addthis_pub = "Marisol5";I’ll be back in the kitchen soon!
