The incredible edible egg – what a wonder of nature. Eggs are a great source of protein and are one of the foundational items that you can add in and change up in an unlimited number of ways. Eggs can be fried, poached, baked, boiled and scrambled. (I am beginning to sound like “Bubba” Blue from Forest Gump) This recipe post is similar to smoothies in that the options you choose are totally geared to your own personal taste preferences. This is also one of those recipe choices that are very easy to apply the “eat the rainbow” philosophy.
I am blessed to have neighbors who free range chickens and literally deliver my eggs from their farm to my table. I have learned that when the hens are laying abundantly, I can freeze raw eggs for up to a year. You can read more here: incredible egg
- Step 1:
- Select the amount of eggs you want to make. I try to make extra if I can.
- This recipe suggests scrambling them, but you can bake them in muffin cups as well (I find they tend to be a little rubbery when reheated). Scrambled eggs do reheat well. As an example, I will make these suggestions based on using 12 eggs (1 dozen).
- Step 2:
- Choose the add ins you prefer for that day. These are options or suggestions and the amounts are geared for the 12 egg scramble amount, so adjust amounts to your liking in the amount of eggs you are preparing. This list is long, so mix and match to suit your preferences.
