Ever have someone unexpectedly have breakfast in your place? I.e, your kids' friends, your date last night (who you totally impressed with your cooking) etc.? In a hurry but still want to impress them?
Here's my default emergency breakfast recipe. I don't keep track of portions (reason why I thoroughly suck at baking) but I trust you won't make too much of a disaster with this one:
Things You Should Always Have In Your Cupboard
Cheese (any you can get your hands on), cubed
Spam (Or healthier spam equivalent like...weiners? Are they healthier?) cubed
Cream cheese
Eggs
The Emergency Breakfast Recipe
In a pan, heat spam with cream cheese until everything's well coated and dandy. Dunk the cheese cubes, wait for them to soften up just a tad and add all the eggs in.
Once the eggs are in, scrape and fold the mixture. Since we want to impress our guest, we want a high quality scrambled here and scraping and folding's the way to go. Cream cheese as milk cheat substitute may help buy some more quality window, too
Taking the pan off heat at the right time is essential in earning "wonderful breakfast!" points from guest, too. I usually go about taking the pan off heat when the mixture's mildly coagulated but mildly runny. Never let it stay there longer than while the eggs still have a sheen to them. Green gummy eggs is shocking but not impressive.
Serve with toast-- french if you have the time-- and coffee. Or tea.
Roasted tomatoes (Or dried, canned, peeled tomatoes) and bell peppers would be a nice addition. If you have the time. I'd layer the scrambleds on top of a slice of toast then a slab of roasted tomatoe on top of that. Plus some garnish, if you have thyme.
I'd probably dunk the cubed bell peppers into the mixture.
