Breakfast for supper

Breakfast for supper
Last night I made this from scratch and wow was it good.
Needed items:
2-large green bell peppers (garden fresh)
1-large red onion
olive oil
thin sliced turkey breast
mild cheddar cheese
12 large farm fresh eggs
cast iron skillet


Heat skillet to medium and warm the oil. Finely chop the onion, bell peppers and turkey breast. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until soft. Once this is complete turn up the heat and add beaten eggs and chopped turkey breast. After cooking for approx. five minutes the mixture should be able to turn over, similar to an omelet. Once it is turned over cover with cheese (grated), put lid on skillet and turn off the heat and remove. In a few minutes the cheese will be melted and you can cut to desired portions and serve with your favorite hot sauce.

I'll try it this weekend, Safety. My way to cook - easy and one pan! (and sounds good!)

This sounds great (minus the hot sauce). I think I'll add some garlic if you don't mind.

I wish my husband liked eggs...! I'll have to make it for the girls when he's not home )

Don D

A man that don't like eggs and a woman who don't like beef. I'll hafta think about that!

ScorpioHR

ummm, yummy - I shall make it tomorrow. Thanks Safety!

We make something similar on our Boy Scout camp outs, using a cast iron dutch oven. We only use one bell pepper, not all of our boys are to keen on bell peppers and instead of sliced turkey we use sausage and bacon and we also add a bag of frozen diced up hash brown potatoes. You can let it cook in layers or mix it all up. This dish is always at hit for breakfast around the morning camp fire. We also fry the the bacon and brown the sausage before adding it to the oven. Almost makes crawling out of your warm sleeping bag worth-while.

Great recipe, Safety. But I don't know how in the world you can flip over a recipe with 12 scrambled eggs. You're better than I am. I had to put another skillet on top and flip both pans over. It stuck and got a little mangled. The cheese; however, kind of 'glued' the ingredients back together. I didn't have an iron skilet. I used a T-fal pan. Maybe that's it.

My family loved it!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! It takes a BFS, a big flippin spatula.

All real cooks have a properly seasoned iron skillet somewhere! x:-)

System

Wo! I'm the 'queen of one-pot.' All I need is a deep Pyrex baking dish and a slow cooker. I'm trying new things these days but have not aspired to the level of 'real cook.' I will, however, get an iron skillet. I hear it's the best way to cook. (does it come with seasoning directions?)

Don D

I don't know if they come with seasoning instructions. They may, but run those instructions by me before you trust them. They're probably written by some yankee who never in his life cooked with hamhock or made cornbread.

"They're probably written by some yankee who never in his life cooked with hamhock or made cornbread".

Huh, hamhock? I thought you strung them between tree's and layed back with a cold one? You can cook with them suckers? I have so made cornbread, you open the box throw in some water and PRESTO, cornbread.
a yankee;;)

HRinNH

Don, I'm glad you said "his" cuz I'm a Yankee and have cooked many a meal in an iron skillet. Nowadays though I usually use it only when go camping cuz the iron would scratch my new glass top stove.

My cornbread recipe (very yummy) was handed down from my Nanny to me (mom didn't bake much so she didn't trust her with it).

System

Waitaminit! I cooked a hamhock once. I think it was Easter of 1982. I think that's what it was. I tried to make cornbread too! The carp liked it. Best doughball we ever made!

Of course, now that I live South of the Mason-Dixon line I make the real thing, like Scorpio's.

My son emailed me on how to make mom's pinto beans. He said, "I know you use bacon." I wrote back and said, yeah, in a pinch - but the best way to go is ham hocks. He emailed back and said he wasn't sure he could find a ham hock in San Fran. Hmmm...maybe not.

Don D

I'm sure he can if he'll go to an ethnic area store that features soul food. It's a staple of soul food junkies.
