The Italian Scramble

Submitted by Chocolatl

"From Dom DeLuise. Be sure not to overcook the eggs. The original does not say what kind of grated cheese to use on top. I chose Parmesan, but you can use whatever you want. Serve with hot Italian bread."

A very good breakfast scramble that we enjoyed this morning. For the two of us I did halve the recipe and there was more then enough for two good size servings. Since peppers are not DH's favorites I used a larger red pepper, cooked the potato in the microwave, used a red onion and cherry tomatoes instead of a whole tomato. Great flavors, cheesey goodness, and everything you would want in one dish. Chocolatl thank you for sharing this recipe with us! Made and reviewed for the 2014 Culinary Quest - Cruisin' Culinary Queens.

Mmm...this is my kind of scramble! I loved everything that is in this delicious scramble. I used red potato, red onion and a mixture of hot and mild Italian sausage. Also, I added 1/8 tsp. dried basil along with the oregano. I had two, yes I said two, large servings and wolfed both of them down. I added some warm pizza sauce on my second helping and it made a perfect scramble even better. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper! **Made for Culinary Quest - Suitcase Gourmets**

Yummers! This was really good. I used hot Italian sausage and microwaved my potato to get it started, then browned it in the skillet. Other than that I made it as directed. Very simple, very filling and very good. Thanks Chocolatl for sharing. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

I made half a recipe for the two of us and still have some left over. Great breakfast, I cooked the potato in the microwave and then finished in the pan, used breakfast sausage, provolone and parmesan cheese and it was wonderful.

This is delicious, Chocolatl! I love a country-style scrambled egg dish. So much better than those dry scrambles. I did use extra tomato, but otherwise made as directed. Thnx for posting, hon. Made for KcK's Forum.
