It's 9 after 5am and I'm in need for something to do until I figure I can walk to school and get there just in time for the library to open.
So, since my house lacks eggs I am not in a position to make my preferred early morning breakfast foods. Omelets and Scrambles.
However, as I've made so many of the latter and quite a few of the former I'm willing to discuss the many things that I doubt you'd have thought of putting into either a scramble or an omelet.
(For the purposes of this post, I'd like to differentiate between them. A scramble is when one takes beaten eggs, combines them either in the pan or out of the pan, and scramble everything in the mixture. An Omelet, is when one cooks a layer of beaten eggs into a solid circle then folds in the filling using this circle. )
Examples:
- fried rice
-chopped up takeout(I've yet to find a doggie bag that I couldn't use)
-Chinese: Noodle dishes and stirfried dishes work wonders.
-Italian: Yes pete, whenever I have less pasta then what I'd need to make a full meal, in it goes.
-Greek: The Lemon flavored take-out potatoes...need I say more?
-Kabob....no elaboration neccesary I feel
-Thai: Pad Thai....yeah
-German food: meat, potato, veg
- sauted veggies(anything will do, I've tried it)
- Thai Peanut sauce(chunkier the better)
- Chopped up Steak: it's good
- Cajun Seasonings
- Fresh chopped Herbs: better in a scramble, but if you combine with goat cheese, it makes for a damned fine filling.
- Solid fruits: Mangoes, Apples, Ect. (use caramel sauce to bind the fruit mixture, you know the one in the fridge that you occasionally put )
- leftover cooked veggies: steamed green beans taste great loaded into an omelet with thinly sliced garlic, you can mash up leftover peas into a paste for a tasty fix.
- Hot sauces: aim for hot sauces that aren't just chili flavored, I tried a peach and habanaro sauce that was so spicy it was sexy. If you're not so into the heat but want to try some sauces, get a solid salty cheese like feta, some chopped green onions, then mix with the hot sauce and place in as a filling.
-Paper thin slices of garlic: In an scramble you need to be careful not to burn it, in an omelet, the residual heat can be just enough to do the job....garlic lovers need apply.
- Unusual Cheeses: Try making an omelet with just a solid slice of Cambanzola and some basil.
- Leftover mexican food(homemade or no): Fajita filling, taco filling, salsa cruda, refried beans, damned good.
-Pepperoni: greg taught me this one
...and I'm tapped out, this is the kind of thing that I make up on the fly with what I find in my fridge, yet another moment when only my imagination is my limit.
