Scrambled Eggs with Roasted Potatoes

Servings 6

Ingredients

• 12 eggs
• 6 tbsp shredded cheese
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 lbs mini potatoes
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 cups grape tomatoes, chopped
• pinch of sea salt
• pinch of black pepper
• pinch of dried oregano
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven 425 F. Cut the baby potatoes in half. Place in a baking dish.

2. Cover potatoes in 1.5 tsp olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Mix well. Push them to the side and pour in enough water to submerge the potatoes but not cover them.

3. Bake the potatoes for 40-45 minutes. Once done, toss the hot potatoes in some chopped garlic or any herbs you desire.

4. In a bowl, beat 12 eggs. Add the salt and pepper.

5. In a large skillet, add some butter. I cooked the eggs in two batches since there are so many!

6. Pour in the eggs, and let them cook for a few seconds without stirring. Pull a rubber spatula across the bottom of the pan to form large, soft curds of scrambled eggs.

7. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds. Scrape the spatula along the bottom and sides of the pan often to prevent any part of the eggs from drying out.

8. Add some shredded cheese, mix well and remove from heat.

9. In a bowl, mixed the chopped tomatoes, 1.5 tsp olive, sea salt and dried oregano.

10. Place eggs, potatoes and tomatoes in a glass meal prep container (I used a 22oz one). Reheat later!
