We all tend to ignore our refrigerators and their crispers until the produce inside goes bad. Then, we're in the unenviable state of throwing out what was once perfectly good food, simply because we forgot it was there.
That's why from time to time, I like to look inside, see what we have, and then see if I can make a dish out of it.
This morning, I'm looking for something I can mash together for breakfast...let's see what's inside. Here's some mild Italian sausage from Trader Joe's that I used for a pizza once. It was too mild for the pizza but I think it's make a good breakfast sausage. Here's half a zucchini, some asparagus, and some corn tortillas.
I think I can work with this.
I chop up the zucchini, three spears of asparagus, and one link of the sausage. In a pan with one tablespoon of olive oil on high heat.
I put all that in and cook it up for 5-6 minutes and set aside in a bowl.
Next, I cut up three tortillas into eighths. I fry them till they're starting to get crispy. Then I add the sausage and veggie mixture back in.
Four eggs, a half a teaspoon of cream, a pinch of salt and pepper all go into a bowl.
I scramble this all up with a fork.
Pour the mixture in the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top and scramble until the eggs are set and serve.
I like to add some hot sauce and a little heavy cream on top. Now, I've got breakfast for two.
