YIELD
CUISINE
HEAT
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tsp BackYard Blendz Original Green Seasoning
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- ½ carrot, grated
- 2 pimento peppers, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, optional
Method
- Prepare the vegetables Finely chop the onion and pimento peppers, grate the carrot and set everything aside.
- Season the eggs Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the BackYard Blendz Original Green Seasoning and whisk until well combined.
- Cook the vegetables Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, pimento peppers and carrot and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add the eggs Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the seasoned eggs. Allow them to sit for about 15–20 seconds, then gently move the eggs from the edges towards the centre with a spatula.
- Scramble gently Continue folding the eggs slowly until soft curds form and the eggs are just set but still glossy. Remove the pan from the heat slightly before they look fully done, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
- Finish and serve Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with toast, cucumbers, fruit or your favourite breakfast sides.
BackYard Blendz Chef Notes
Cook scrambled eggs over medium-low heat for soft, tender curds. High heat cooks the eggs too quickly and can make them dry or rubbery.
One teaspoon of BackYard Blendz Original Green Seasoning gives the eggs a gentle herb and aromatic lift. For a stronger green seasoning flavour, increase to 2 teaspoons.
For more heat, substitute BackYard Blendz Spicy Green Seasoning for the Original.
Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy. Residual heat will finish the cooking without drying them out.
The vegetables are flexible. Sweet pepper, chive or a small handful of spinach can be added or substituted depending on what you have on hand.
