Sunday Brunch: Breakfast Potatoes and Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

  

There is nothing I love more than cooking for loved ones and witnessing the smile of contentment on their faces after their first bite. 

My cousins from northern California have been spending the last week with us and we decided to culminate their visit with a trip to Disneyland, where else? lol

Sisters + Cousin

Somehow, after a 20 hour day at ( or enroute) to Disneyland, I woke up in the morning while the rest of the family was in sweet slumber and quietly left for Sunday Mass. Wouldn't you know, just as I got home, the sleeping beauties had just awoken and were groggily fumbling around the kitchen searching for sustenance. 

After a quick look in the pantry and fridge I decided to make breakfast potatoes and cheesy scrambled eggs. 

Disclaimer/Reminder: I don't cook from recipes and I almost never measure the ingredients I use to make my meals, but I can tell you the ingredients and provide general direction.



Cheesy Scrambled Eggs 
  • Organic Brown Eggs
  • A splash of Milk
  • 1/3 Asiago, 1/3 Cheddar, 1/3 Mozzarella
  • Salt and Pepper 
To get soft fluffy scrambled eggs you must be patient and cook them on a medium low heat, stirring occasionally.



Breakfast Potatoes

  • Russet Potatoes
  • Parsley
  • Green Onion
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Fresh  Tomato
Coat the bottom of a nonstick pan with a thin layer of olive oil and preheat. Next, wash and cube the russet potatoes -- add them to the pan. Cover the potatoes with a glass lid and let it cook on medium high, stirring occasionally, while you prep the rest of the ingredients. Wash the herbs and tomato, finely dice them and set them aside. Once the potatoes are fully cooked and crispy add the remaining ingredients and let it cook for another 30 seconds or so. ( I like the herbs to stay fresh)

Petite Dejeuner

STEEL CUT OATS TOPPED WITH DRY SHREDDED COCONUT, BROWN SUGAR, AND GHIRADELLI CHOCOLATE CHIPS :)

Just another in my line of  " Is it breakfast or is it dessert?" oatmeal ... like the pumpkin pie oatmeal, apple pie oats, and white chocolate cheesecake raspberry oats.  

If the morning is just cold enough, any kind of bowl of oats will do. But as spring has officially arrived in Sunny Cali the mornings are getting warmer and breakfasts will have to change. I see smoothies and overnight oats in the future. 

Today, however, was a simple compilation:


One organic egg in a "basket" of Nature's Own Double Fiber Bread, topped with a bit of basil. Served along with one Roma tomato, sliced, filled with slivers of garlic, seared and topped with sea salt and dried mint, and two slices of Canadian bacon. 

Speaking of hot days and cold food remedies, I have been munching on Trader Joe's frozen slightly sweetened cranberries all day. All that is left is an empty bag and the beautiful berries sitting in a cup thawing with the heat generated by my laptop.... I will take a pretty picture with my next purchase of these red jewels.. I promise.
