cozy

It's a beautiful Saturday morning. The sun is shining through the windows, the cats are having an playful wrestling match in said sunshine, and my sweethearts are putzing around the house in their jammies. A cup of pomegranate tea sits aromatically steaming at my side. Ahhhh. So, so cozy.

In honor of weekend coziness, I offer to you today one of our family favorites: The Scrambler. This dish got it's name after many failed attempts at flipping an omelet. Apparently, it's just not in my genetic code to properly flip. So, now I scramble with a smile and enjoy much lower stress in the kitchen.

I cooked up The Scrambler this week with Ravishing Roasted Potatoes (made this time with fingerling potatoes and dill) and we had a fine meal for dinner. It's also wonderful for breakfast or a weekend brunch, too. It there anything The Scrambler can't do?

The Scrambler

1/2 package soy sausage
4 eggs
splash of soy milk
2 triangles Laughing Cow Light
sprinkes of chives

I grew up eating and loving the Laughing Cow. John thinks the cow looks possessed. Angel or demon, this soft cheese is delightful in breakfast goodies. My thanks go to the chef at The Lied Lodge at Arbor Day Farm who first introduced me to mixing this cheese in with my eggs.

 

Okay, back to business. Here's what you do:

Saute the soy sausage in a skillet drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. We are very fond of the one and only Gimme Lean soy sausage. Someone in their marketing department clearly has a good sense of humor. The Morningstar Farms sausages are fine as well, but Gimme Lean knocks our socks off. I've served it many times to meat eaters and they can't tell the difference. Amazing!

When the sausage crumbles are browned, set aside in a separate bowl and then pour in the eggs and milk, whisked together. Scramble away. When the eggs are almost finished, add back the sausage and top with cubes of Laughing Cow. Sprinkle with chives and serve hot from the stove.

 

Get cozy with the ones you love this weekend. Enjoy!
