Ideal for vegetarians, this recipe incorporates quorn as a meat substitute, complemented by fresh veggies and cheese for a wholesome and savory start to your day.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by preparing all your ingredients: Dice the tomato, finely chop the onion, slice the vegetarian Quorn sausages, and grate the cheddar cheese.
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to turn translucent.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
- Add the sliced Quorn sausages to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and heated through.
- While the sausages are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.
- Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they start to set but are still slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold it in. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
Tips:
- To bring out the flavors of the vegetables, consider sautéing the tomato and onion until they are slightly caramelized before adding other ingredients.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a pinch of salt and pepper before cooking to ensure they are airy and fluffy.
- Cook the eggs on a low to medium heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a creamy texture.
- Stir constantly but gently to create soft curds of egg, rather than over-mixing which can make the eggs rubbery.
- Feel free to add some fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
Bringing together the richness of eggs and the diverse flavors of fresh veggies, quorn, and cheese, vegetarian quorn Colombian scrambled eggs make for a hearty and flavorful meal. Enjoy this satisfying dish as a nutritious breakfast or a delightful brunch, sure to please both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
