Scrambled Eggs (but more exciting)

I love creating yumminess from random things in the fridge. This morning I wanted something a little bit more exciting that just plain ole scrambled eggs on toast, so came up with this:




Ingredients:

Serves 2

4-5 free range eggs
handful of cheese (I used extra mature Canadian cheddar, but I'm betting that gruyère or parmesan would work well too.)
handful of chopped chives
2 tomatoes, quartered
Dash of milk
Small knob of butter
salt and pepper

1) Put the milk and butter in a non-stick pan and heat until butter has melted. Turn the heat to low.

2) Beat the eggs and pour into pan. Add cheese, chives, salt and pepper and stir well. Add tomatoes and continue to stir until eggs are cooked.

Serve on fresh wholemeal toast with a steaming hot cup of coffee.

Home Fries

Ever since my last visit to the States I've been craving home fries. So tasty, so versatile! I like to have them for brunch with bacon and eggs.

Cook your potatoes by baking them in the microwave, wrapped in kitchen paper. As soon as they're cool enough to handle you can dice them.



Ingredients

1-2 tablespoons of oil
1 red onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 or 4 small cooked potatoes, diced (I use whatever I have in the cupboard, but waxy ones work best)
salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add onions and pepper. Fry for 5-10 minutes or until soft. Then add your potatoes and fry until brown. Season with salt and/or pepper.

That's it!
