Breakfast Scramble

The dish for this week in Child Nutrition and Cooking was a balanced breakfast. It had to have things like a fruit or vegetable, complex carbohydrates, and protein.

For this dish I decided on something I've always loved to make when we go camping. I'm not very good at keeping an omelette in omelette form, so I've always just scrambled everything together. It's nice because you can chop or prepare almost everything ahead of time and store it until you're ready to cook. You can also cook it one serving at a time so everyone can put in the ingredients and amounts that they like, or you can cook it in one big pan.

6 eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 oz ham, cooked and cubed

2 oz sausage, browned

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

2 green onions, chopped

1/2 tomato, chopped

2 oz mushrooms, sliced

Mexican blend cheese, as desired

• Beat eggs together, stir in milk.
• Mix ham, sausage, bell pepper, onions, tomato, and mushrooms in with eggs.
• Heat large pan over medium heat and pour egg mixture in pan.
• Stir mixture until eggs are cooked through, pour off excess liquid.
• Dish and top with cheese. Enjoy!
