not only is this a delicious breakfast (easy enough for the week day crunch morning but upscale enough for your weekend brunch with friends.) this breakfast is as nutritious as it is yummy. and we are so excited to share it with you. 

full of fresh herbs and veggies out of our urban garden. farm fresh eggs from the local farmers market. this colorful, health loaded recipe is fresh out of the functional health + wellness kitchen-

the denver omelette scramble, ventura co. edition

THE recipe
yields: 2 adults 
prep/cook time: 15 min.

ingredients:
3 eggs- (we prefer responsibly raised eggs from our local farmers market. but when in crunch, organic free-range eggs)
1 cup fresh spinach
2 stalks of green onion (Chopped)
1 poblano pepper (seeds outs/chopped)
1 green bell pepper (seeds out/chopped)
3 mushrooms (chopped)
1/4 cup shredded cheese (we use  a mexican blend from trader joes. feel free to use your favorite cheese. like everything, loved in moderation.)
1/4 cup chopped cherry or grape tomatoes
fresh cilantro (use as loved)
fresh avocado/ 1/2 of 1. sliced
dash of sea salt
dash of pepper
dash of garlic powder
drizzle of olive oil- or drizzle of bacon grease (after cooking your bacon to go with this great egg dish. save just a tiny bit of the grease to cook your veggies in!) 

direction:
in large SAUTE pan combine chopped peppers, green onion, olive oil, seasonings. saute for 5 minutes before adding in the mushrooms. allow to brown and soften just slightly, roughly another 5 minutes.



add in your eggs- 
add in your cheese-

scramble up> with wooden spoon or silicon spatula, or what ever you want! ha
cook to desired egg cook> we like our eggs a little runny. not rubbery.

turn heat off-
add fresh spinach
add fresh tomatoes
add cilantro

toss together to let hot eggs just slightly wilt the spinach. keep fresh, tastes so much better when less cooked.

drizzle with tapatio or your favorite hot sauce.
enjoy with your favorite brunchtime meat and fresh fruit.

yummy!

after notes: 
like all of our recipes- you can substitute any of your favorite veggies, always! We RECOMMEND you try it our way because it's awesome. but add in your favorites or what you have fresh access too. 
bon apetito
