Calabrese and Goat Cheese Scramble

 

Calabrese is one of my favourite cured meats.  It has spice and adds amazing flavour to pizza.  I had some left over from a pizza night so I decided to add it to my eggs and ended up eating it for breakfast for almost a week straight!  Give this a try and feel free to add any other ingredients to customize your palate.  I like to use my cast iron pan for this dish.  It's perfect to keep the eggs warm and wilt the arugula and melt the goat cheese after it's off the heat.

 

Ingredients:

- 4 eggs

- 1 Tbsp water or milk

- Arugula (handful)

- Goat Cheese (1/2 of a 100g package)

- Calabrese (approx. 4 slices)

- 1/2 red pepper

- 1/2 onion

 

Step #1 Slice Calabrese, chop onion and pepper and set aside.  Have goat cheese and arugula out so you are ready.

Step #2 Beat eggs (optional add 1 Tbsp. of milk).  Set aside

Step #3 Turn pan to just above medium heat. Spray pan with cooking oil or add 1 tsp olive oil.  Add onion and sauté for a few minutes.  Add red peppers and Calabrese and sauté for another couple of minutes (until onions are soft and the peppers are still a little firm)

Step # 4 Add eggs and stir occasionally to scramble.  When eggs are almost done (still a little runny but mostly cooked).  Turn off the heat.  Add arugula stir in and then add 1/2 of the amount of goat's cheese.
