Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 large or 3 small eggs
2 medium tomatoes
1 green pepper (poblano or cubanella works best)
1/4 of a small onion
2 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
salt and pepper
Servings: 1-2
I like cooking the veggies until the tomato juice is mostly
evaporated since I don't like watery eggs but how much you
cook the tomatoes is up to you, experiment with it!
Method
1. Dice onion, pepper and tomatoes into small pieces.
2. Add butter or olive oil to skillet, add onions and cook for 3-4
minutes on medium or medium high heat, mixing at times not to
burn. Add peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes covered with
a lid (again check and mix to prevent burning).
3. Add tomatoes and cover. Cook until the tomato juice is mostly
gone, mixing at times to prevent burning.
4. Add eggs, salt and pepper. Cook egg whites first by mixing with
veggies and then yolks at the end. Do not over-mix.
Optional: sprinkle some feta cheese on top. Serve with bread (I
like ciabatta or sour dough).
This is a great, quick morning breakfast when you want a deviation
from normal pancakes. The pancakes become quit large as they bubble
while cooking. If you have children, I guarantee this will become a
staple in your family.

5 tbsp Butter
6 eggs
1 cup Milk

1 Cup Flour

Method
1. Melt 5 tablespoons of butter in 9x13 pan in oven while preheating

6. Allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before cutting.
This is a dish which reminds me of home
(Turkey) that I usually cook on Sundays for
brunch since it takes some time. More
recently I also started pre-preparing 2-3
servings of the veggie mix and then I heat it
up and add eggs so I can eat a delicious,
nutritious and fast breakfast during the
week as well.
