A featured recipe from Personal Chef, Paula Price. This Sunday brunch favorite is
always a big hit. I've adapted this from Fields of Greens, by Deborah Madison.
- 1 T. light olive oil
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño chili, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 Anaheim chili, seeded, roasted and thinly sliced (my adaptation)
- Red Pepper Flakes (mine)
- 1 or 2 soft corn tortillas, cut into small wedges (98% fat free)
- Salt and Cayenne Pepper
- 1 scallion, both white and green parts, thinly sliced on a diagonal
- 6 eggs, beaten (we use egg beaters)
- 1 ounce or 2 or smoked gouda, about ½ cup; (we have this in lite here)
- 2 t. chopped cilantro
Roast and peel the Anaheim chili. (add this last to the eggs) just to heat through.
Heat oil or use spray in medium-size skillet and add the peppers, jalapeño, ¼ t.
salt, and a few pinches of cayenne; sauté over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the
tortilla pieces and the scallions and sauté for 1 minute.
Season the eggs with 1/8 t. salt and a few pinches of cayenne; pour them into the pan.
Scramble the eggs over medium heat, stirring as needed to keep the eggs from sticking. Add
the cheese and cilantro for the last moments of cooking and season with salt if necessary.
Serves two to three.
If it's a special occasion, bloody marys are a great accompaniment.
