Arugula Scramble

Filed under Breakfast {no comments}

This is a quick breakfast, but because you don’t see arugula used much, it seems kind of elegant.

3 eggs
1 cup arugula

1/2 tomato, diced
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup dry quick oats
1 1/3 cup water
1 cup skim milk

First, get your oatmeal & water cooking in the microwave. Chop the arugula & tomato roughly. Scramble the eggs. Spray a nonstick frying pan with Pam and preheat to medium. Stir-fry the arugula just until wilted, maybe about a minute, then toss in your eggs. Stir over medium heat until almost cooked, and stir in your tomato for the final minute or two. Top with about a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve alongside the oatmeal and milk.

For one thing, I had "The Nut Problem". It seemed like every other Zone recipe that I found would end in something like "Eat with 18 peanuts on the side" or "Add 5 almonds".

Now don't get me wrong, I like nuts. They're healthy, and they make a convenient snack. But the problem is that Read more
