Yes. I know that is the same bowl type I used on my last post. I'm on a budget! What can I say? And being on a budget means you have to be creative sometimes and step outside the box. I currently need to go food shopping but I need to eat lunch. So what does a budget conscious person do? Check the fridge and see what you can make with what you have!
As luck would have it, I have some eggs and some heavy cream in my fridge that is expiring today. It's fortunate that I have the cream since I am all out of milk, I can use a dash of the cream instead of milk and make some creamy delicious eggs.
Of course since I never like to eat anything boring I need to figure out how I am going to make this meal a little bit more interesting. I check the cupboard and I find a shaker of Italian herbs that I bought at the store for only 50 cents! What a great deal and you can find more of these kind of deals at dollars stores around you. Anything from garlic salt to paprika to celery salt! Which is important for the budget minded. Get all the flavor on the cheap.
I decide to use some of the Italian herbs in scrambled eggs which is a first flavor combination wise for me. I also find some chili garlic oil that I made (see recipe) which will add a nice flavor combination if I cook the eggs with it. I also have a touch of homemade salsa I made last week and I find a small amount of Muenster cheese that I can shred on top.
So in a pinch I have some sort of Italian style Frankenstein scrambled eggs!
Recap: Scrambled two eggs with salt, pepper, dash of heavy cream, good amount of Italian herbs. Heat chili garlic oil in pan. Cook scrambled eggs until done. Topped with muenster cheese with a dash of salsa on top.
Verdict? Not Bad! I actually like this combination and I think since the muenster cheese has a nice mild flavor it actually blends well with the rest of the ingredients. I actually would like to try this recipe again, only next time with a full Italian style theme
Like say perhaps scrambled eggs topped off with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce! I could definitely see it more as a Sunday brunch type of meal though instead of a weekday staple. One to show off your friends about how daring you can really be!
