It’s that time again, middle of the week and I’m running low on steam. A hearty breakfast this morning will be a great start to my day. I love to make breakfast foods, especially scrambles; they are quick, easy and versatile. I will make a scramble out of just about any veggie I have in the refrigerator, but this one wasn’t by chance.
This is my Summer Squash Scramble, inspired out of my love for calabacitas (A Mexican food side dish) and eggs.
Sauté onions and garlic in butter until translucent.
Add in your summer squash, I used yellow squash and zucchini.
Don’t forget the GREEN CHILE.
Add in corn and cilantro, as well as a few other ingredients not pictured here. Get the full recipe and instructions below.
