Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1 cup tomato, cored, seeded and diced
4 whole eggs
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons water, optional
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried dill
Salt and pepper

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.

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE



The Best Tofu Scramble image

If you like a softly scrambled egg on toast, you're going to love this soft-scrambled tofu recipe. The secret is the addition of Indian black salt (also known as kala namak or black lava salt), which has an egglike flavor and is available online or at specialty food stores. Because it is lower in sodium, we round out the dish with a little kosher salt too. We like our scramble on toast but it would also make a great filling for a vegan breakfast burrito.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 16-ounce block soft tofu, drained
1/2 teaspoon Indian black salt
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon vegan butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bread
1/4 cup shredded vegan Cheddar-style cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Gently wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels to blot out excess moisture. Place the tofu in a medium bowl. Add the black salt and turmeric and stir well with a fork, crumbling the tofu and fully combining the spices.
  • Melt the vegan butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Add the tofu mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook undisturbed until the edges begin to turn yellow from the turmeric and some moisture is bubbling up, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Gently stir the scramble, folding the cooked side over and redistributing the tofu to allow it to cook in an even layer. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 minute 30 seconds, until most of the moisture is evaporated and the tofu is the consistency of custardy scrambled eggs, 7 to 9 minutes. As it simmers, more liquid will bubble up and then it will dry out and the scramble will turn a uniform pale yellow color.
  • Meanwhile, toast the bread. Divide the scramble between the bread slices and top each with half the vegan cheese.

KENTUCKY FARMHOUSE SCRAMBLE

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
8 ounces diced boneless country ham
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
12 large eggs, whisked until well blended
4 ounces grated Jarlsberg cheese (recommended: Kenny's Country)
Salt and pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your scramble.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs are tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just set, but still slightly runny.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. There are endless possibilities for what you can add to your scramble. Some popular options include cheese, vegetables, meat, and herbs.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

The Val Verde Scramble is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a Val Verde Scramble that everyone will enjoy.
