Recipe: Italian Egg Scramble

I’m always looking for quick and yummy ways to get protein in the mornings… I love eggs, but I can get bored with them, so I’m constantly trying new things. Not that this recipe is new or innovative, but more of a reminder that simple is sometimes just plain delicious – and fast! 

Ingredients:
1 egg
2 Tsp Milk [I use whole milk – you need the fat for this or else you’ll get weepy, watery eggs]
1/4 Cup grape tomatoes, diced
1-2 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian [flat leaf] parsley
1-2 Tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste 

Method:
– Turn burner on to MEDIUM and heat up pan
– Add olive oil and toss in diced tomatoes – you can use any tomato, I just love grape tomatoes for their flavor and how easy it is to dice them up…
– In a small mixing bowl or cup, whisk up egg, milk, chopped parsley and salt & pepper
– Add egg mixture to tomatoes in pan, stir with rubber spatula until desired doneness

Note:
You can certainly add some cheese in this and it would be that much more delicious [mozzarella, parmesan, fontina, goat cheese… whatever you love!]. I didn’t have any on hand at the time, and it was delicious without, so I figured why add in the calories if I don’t have to. That doesn’t mean I won’t next time, though…   =) 

Enjoy!
