Vegetables for Breakfast


Recommended Posts

There's botanical veggies and then there's 'common law' veggies.

In a food forum, I'm thinking we could agree to use the 'common law' definitions, which makes sweet things (mostly) = fruit, and everything else = veggies, including termaters, eggplant, etc.

Pertaters are a lovely veg as well as a good source of starch. They are Vit C bombs, among other things.

Breakfast burrito = scramble eggs, sautee any mix of veg, add cheese if desired, wrap in tortilla. Im sure it would work in a pita, or any other flexible flat bread.

The ones I most commonly encounter include peppers, potatoes and onions. Can include beans, cooked greens (cabbage, kale, spinach, whatever, easily. Eggs can become optional if there are enough spuds to make it filling.

The mix can be made ahead and nuked in the am for breakfast, thus easing the job for those who dont like to take time to cook much in the am. (nuke the filing, dump into tortilla, wrap it up, eat. )
