The whole 'breakfast for dinner' thing has gained ground over the last few years. From corned beef hash to omelettes and fritters, these speedy, tasty (and often one pan) and dishes hit the spot when you're short of time, money and patience.
Eggs are cheap, filling and versatile - and you sure can't beat a quick scramble (no pun intended). But as delicious as they are in their simplest form, served over toast, we can't help feeling that this dish has untapped potential. Whether whisked up with fresh herbs, cheese or bacon, here are a few simple ways you can elevate the humble scrambled egg...
**1. Scrambled Eggs With Smoked Salmon **
It doesn't get much easier (or tastier) than mixing chopped smoked salmon into your eggs, as Aggie of Aggie's Kitchen knows. This American-style dish is accompanied by cream cheese-slathered multigrain toast, and a sprinkling of freshly chopped chives - the king of breakfasts, but not a bad dinner either.
2. Goat Cheese Scrambled Eggs With Pesto Veggies
Lindsay (of A Pinch of Yum) is quite the goat cheese aficianado, and in this recipe she melts a hefty hunk of the stuff into her scrambled eggs before serving with a tangy side of dressed chopped kale.
3. Indian-style Scrambled Eggs
'Egg Bhurji' (or Indian-style scrambled eggs) bring in the flavour big guns with mustard seeds, ginger and turmeric. Topped with chopped fresh coriander, this dish would traditionally be eaten with a buttered roti or a warm bread roll, according to The Kitchn, and they make a superb speedy supper.
4. Mexican Scrambled Eggs
If you're craving Huevos Rancheros but can't quite muster the effort they take, settle for a good Mexican scramble instead. Fresh tomatoes, chilli and paprika bulk out the eggs in A Modern Rose's recipe, and soft tortillas are good for wrapping and scooping.
5. Cheesy Scrambled Eggs in Avocado with Crispy Bacon Pieces
Something of a breakfast all-in-one, this moreish looking recipe from Cafe Delites involves filling avocado boats filled with cheesy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon bits. This one packs a good protein punch and should, in theory, satisfy those raging hunger pangs on a Sunday morning (or a Monday night).
