Early Dawning, Sunday Morning...

After my requisite cup(s) of coffee, some hummingbird field recording, and a little bit of reading, my tummy began to call out for some morning nourishment.
ready to serve
Quick and Easy Swiss Chard Scramble (Serves Two):
Eggs beat with cream, fresh ground pepper, and paprika
Cubes of aged cheddar
Swiss Chard harvested minutes before slicing - stems sliced into quarter inches, leaves very casually chopped (really just sliced a couple times)
Two small (rather garlicky) shallots harvested last weekend diced
Handful of cherry tomatoes sliced in two
Olive oil
harvested shallots
prepped ingredients
Heat pan, add olive oil, add shallots and chard stems. 3 minutes. Add tomatoes. 1 minute. Add chard leaves. 1 minute. Reduce heat and add eggs. Slowly turn the eggs, keeping them moist and cooking slowly on low heat. Add the cheddar last. The slow/low heat gives me time to take care of the toast, wash out the prep bowls, and keeps the eggs from overcooking or burning. Quick and easy way to add some extra veggies to my favorite breakfast item: eggs! The hubby seemed to enjoy the end product.

  1. "...harvested minutes before slicing..." Well la-tee-da. :P The photos are making me salivate.

  2. thought you'd appreciate that little tidbit!

    i also realized that i didn't really give quantity - so saying that it serves two is a bit ludicrous...or no, that's too dramatic. it's a bit unnecessary.

  3. I didn't catch that. Servings without measurements, love it!
