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.

Tacos de machacado de chilorio
Scrambled eggs a la “Mexicana” mixed with chilorio. Corn tortillas, cream, salsa and beans.
Usually “Machacado con huevo” (Crushed with egg), is a Northern typical dish made for breakfast, consisting in scrambled eggs with beef jerky; this time I had a bag of chilorio so I threw that instead and the result is more humid and flavorful.
