Green Eggs

I’m big fan of eggs for breakfast and Green Eggs might just be my favourite. I’ve always prefered bhurji over creamy scrambled eggs but this one is sooo much better creamy. The key is to cook it on a low low flame. I actually take it on and off the heat. Coriander chutney on bread is a staple breakfast at my house. I top it with sprouts for the crunch and the added protein.

the sprouts did not keep up with my schedule.

I usually make a batch that lasts me two days. However, one time, I miscalculated and had two spoons leftover for a third day. Not wanting to waste those two spoons, I added them to my scrambled eggs and…

Seriously, it’s that good.

I only have one note on the cheese. You can use any ‘melty’ cheese you like. Cream cheese, Pimento, Cheddar and Riccota all work really well. I’ve even tried this with Amul cheese slices (Cheese pickings were slim during the first lockdown) and it still turned out pretty tasty! Just remember to adjust the amount of salt you put in if you’re using a salty cheese.  

There it is! Green Eggs .

If only I ate ham, I could finish the rhyme.

Equipment

  • Food Processor or Mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Coriander Chutney

  • 2 cups Chopped Coriander
  • 3 tbsp Coconut (heaped)
  • 1 pod garlic
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Water

Green Eggs

  • 2 no Eggs
  • 1 tsp Butter*
  • 1 tbsp Cheese**
  • 3 tbsp Coriander Chutney
  • 1/2 no Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 no Capsicum (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 Tomato (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp Peri Peri (Or any other seasoning you prefer)

Instructions
 

Coriander Chutney

  • Pulse the coconut and garlic twice in a mixer. Be careful not to let the mixer overheat!
  • Add 1 tbsp water and pulse again.
  • Add 1 cup coriander and pulse twice. Add second cup and grind until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning.

Green Eggs

  • Add butter to a pan and melt on med-low heat.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat with salt and Peri Peri. Set aside.
  • Add onions, capsicum and tomatoes to the melted butter and cook for a minute.
  • Take it off the heat and let it continue to cook for half a minute.
  • Add the eggs to the now cooled pan and start mixing it around with a silicone spatula immediately.
  • Once you see little ribbons of egg forming, but the mixture is still wet, add the cheese and return the pan to med-low heat. The eggs should get runnier as the cheese melts.
  • From this point on it really depends on your preference; creamier scrambled eggs or something that's closer to bhurji.
  • Once you're happy with the texture, add the coriander chutney and cook for 20 seconds.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

*Or oil. I used Amul Garlic and Herbs butter because it adds a ton of flavour to the eggs.
