Yay Eggs! Part 1: My Favorite Recipes

I have shared my love for eggs through a few recipes in this blog:

  • herbed eggs and greens and my quick-scramble technique;
  • egg, avocado, and tomato salad (posted on Mark’s Daily Apple with the addition of, oddly enough, bacon);
  • my discovery of an Irish technique for perfect scrambled eggs;
  • open-faced omelet sandwich.


I get these beautiful eggs from a neighbor, who handily dates them.

In this first part of a three-part series on the (incr)edible egg, I will share with you other variations I particularly like.

  • scrambled eggs and salsa;
  • scrambled eggs and my mom’s homemade kimchee (Korean-style fermented cabbage with pepper [crushed or red bell, depending on her mood], ginger, and garlic);
  • scrambled eggs with a healthy dose of fresh Parmesan cheese;
  • fried eggs with fresh sage butter (melt butter in pan, sauté sage for a while before adding the eggs);
  • frittata, adapted from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon (Weston A. Price Foundation);
  • what my friend Chris calls an “eggy breakfast”—eggs scrambled with yesterday’s leftovers.

What’s great about eggs—in addition to their yumminess and affordability—is that they are so versatile. This list could go on and on. What are some of you favorites?

    I particularly love eggs with kimchee and eggs with salsa! My mom has also been making kimchee, funnily enough. My favorite way to make eggs and salsa is to saute onions, garlic and peppers in butter before adding eggs and cheese (preferably pepper jack) to be scrambled together. When they’re done I eat them drenched in fresh salsa. YUM!!! My mouth is watering as I think of it.

      Chenoa. YUM is right. That sounds ridiculously good.

      My friend Kevin added a comment on this post - http://unchainedsunday.com/perfect-scrambled-eggs/ - about his variations, which included adding dijon mustard to a scramble, which I’ve been meaning to try.

      The kimchee and salsa scrambles are Dez’s favorites, too! Other than just plain-good-ole-fried (in butter or bacon fat), which is easier for him to eat on his own.
