Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers

This is a great summer recipe as it is chock-full of summertime vegetables.  We ate it for breakfast, but it could easily be a light summer supper as well.  We found this to be incredibly filling – so you may want to adjust on the smaller side.  With the corn, this would be a good Phase 2 recipe, but on Phase 1 you’d need to leave the corn out.

DELUXE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Recipe from Taste of Home Quick Cooking Annual Recipes 1999

1/2 C each chopped green onions, zucchini, green pepper, and sweet red pepper

1/2 t dill weed

8 eggs, beaten

1 C (4 oz.) shredded sharp low-fat cheddar cheese

pepper to taste

In a large skillet, saute onions, zucchini and peppers in oil  until tender, about 5 minutes.  Add corn, salt and dill; mix well.  Add eggs; sprinkle with cheese.  Cook and stir gently until eggs are completely set.  Sprinkle with pepper.
