It’s November ! Time flies….
The theme for Monday posts in November is…. Eggs.
We love eggs, but not for breakfast.
Okay, we like them just fine for breakfast as long as we don’t have to cook them.
Neither of us want to take the time for more than a quick, toast & cereal, breakfast. There are things to do, dogs to walk and play with, stuff to get the day started.
Mon mari often makes himself scrambled eggs with mushrooms for his lunch.
I often make them for a first course / starter.
These are some of our favorites. Make them whenever you like, although a wine sauce may be a bit much first thing in the morning…. Brunch?

Notes
The trick to keeping these creamy / soft is to only partially cook them initially, letting the hot sauce finish it at the end.
If using fresh tomatoes, peel by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds.
If using canned, refrigerate or freeze any extra.

That’s it !
Did you know that the recipe doesn’t come through the email?
I love eggs for breakfast. Nothing fancy. Three eggs scrambled with a dollop of cottage cheese in them. Quick, easy and delicious 🙂 Quiche is my go to if I’m doing eggs for dinner though. You can put almost anything in it and it’s still quiche and yummy.
I thought I added you. That’s the problem with free services…. they don’t work right. If I made myself eggs for breakfast I would have dishes to do…. Way too much for morning lol
No, I’m getting the email, but not the recipe.
I’m good with washing one pan and soaking my bowl. I still have a dishwasher though so I let the bowl sit for awhile, then drop it in the dishwasher and my kitchen is clean 🙂 The pan is an 8″ OXO pan that is so slick, nothing sticks to it. It’s a cool little thing!
