Caramelized Onion & Potato Scramble

Submitted by Dreamer in Ontario

"This recipe comes from a little booklet called "What's For Dinner?..Eggs!" that I picked up at the Royal Winter Fair. The cooking times assume that the veggies are already cooked."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small red skin potato, scrubbed, cubed and cooked
• 1 medium carrot, chopped and cooked
• 1⁄2 cup cooked green peas

directions

1. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the milk.
2. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
3. In a large non stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes or until golden and tender.
4. Stir in the potato, carrot and peas.
5. Add the egg mixture to the veggie mixture in the pan and reduce the heat to medium low.
6. As the mixture begins to set, gently move the spatula across the bottom and sides of the skillet to form large, soft curds.
7. Cook until the eggs are set and no visible liquid egg remains, but the eggs are still moist.
8. Serve immediately.

What a great filling breakfast this was - I used a small carisma potato (low GI) and a baby carrot which I cooked in the microwave and a large shallot but omited the peas as I had none. I scaled it back for one serve and thoroughly enjoyed my early morning breakfast as the sun came up. Thank you Dreamer in Ontario, made for Almost 5 Tag Game.

4 Stars, very nice, will repeat. DH wants some parmesan cheese mixed in next time. I really appreciate the touch of potato, it satisfied my cravings without engaging me instead in a large side of home fries. I microwaved my small potato in 3 minutes and wrapped it in aluminum foil until needed. I cooked my diced carrots 7 minutes in a saucepan with a little water on the stove. This took considerably longer to set in my 10" saute skillet, and I ended up covering the skillet (as I usually do) to help the top to complete its cooking. Thanks for posting, Dreamer. Made for Veg*n Swap Septemer 2008.

This recipe is ideal to show the benefits of planning ahead. Cook up an extra potato and carrot and have on hand, for example (I used canned along with canned peas). I also had on hand caramelized onions I made in the crockpot. With all this on hand, the recipe goes together in a flash. It is really good for a meatless supper. Thanks for posting ! I know it will be even better when I don't have to use canned veggies. Made for the recipe swap.
