Scrambler!

spacepopes:

One thing we both love to do on a Sunday morning is create a scrambler.  Our most recent incarnation of this favorite was quite delicious, but the beauty of this is that you can do anything you want with a scrambler.  Here is our patented, one-of-a-kind Mexican Scrambler.

Here is what you’ll need:

  • Chorizo (we used 3 links)
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Cheese (we used a smoked somethingorother)
  • Peppers
  • Onions

First, we used my new grill to grill that chorizo.  Basically, it tasted like a hot dog with taco spices in it.  Awesome.

We then sliced up all of our veg.  We used both red and green peppers for some color.

The veg was added into the egg and milk mixture.  I use just a tiny bit of milk in my scrambled eggs to give them some extra fluff.

This was then put into a pan and cooked until the eggs were mostly done.  At this point, we added the chorizo and cheese.

As you can guess, this was a very hearty breakfast and gave us a ton of energy for the day.  There are a couple things I would do differently though:

  • Add garlic.
  • Cook the vegetables and let them saute for just a little bit before adding in the eggs.
  • Use a cheese that was a bit softer.  The cheese we used was harder and formed little chunks instead of incorporating throughout the dish.  But, if you like getting little surprises instead of a more constant flavor (which sometimes I myself enjoy immensely), then use a harder cheese.

tabehodai: To begin my epic day of eating I met up with a lovely friend of mine, Trang. We went to the causeway and slipped into a cafe - the name of which escapes me. Sorry!  I ordered my usual big breakfast. The highlight for me would have to be chorizo. It’s chorizo! Come on! And perfectly done with just a hint of lemon juice drizzled over. So perfect! This baby came in at about $15 bucks which isn’t bad considering what you get. Trang had the same.  Their coffee wasn’t bad. I’m not a total snob for coffee. The flavour was generally pretty good but if I was going to pick on something it would be the thickness. I dunno if you guys have a thing about latte thickness? But generally I drink soy latte because I find it a bit thicker in mouthfeel.  Baba Budan and Sensory Lab and Seven Seeds do this the best! Hands down!
