Morningwood Farm’s “Morning-After Scramble”

Imagine this: the sun peeks through the curtains, and there’s a gentle stranger snoozing beside you. Last night’s memories are a blur of laughter and flirtation, but now, the morning light brings a new challenge—how to impress in the kitchen. Enter the Morningwood Farm’s “Morning-After Scramble,” a dish as delightful and easygoing as your unexpected guest. Made with our gentle yet flavorful Not So Hard sauce, this breakfast scramble promises to soften any awkward morning with a touch of culinary finesse. It’s casual, it’s comforting, and just like last night, it’s unexpectedly satisfying.

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons Not So Hard sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: crumbled feta or goat cheese for topping

Recipe:

1. Prep the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Not So Hard sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This mix will bring a subtle kick that whispers rather than shouts, perfect for a gentle start to the day.
2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Toss in cherry tomatoes and cook until they’re just starting to soften.
3. Scramble Time: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies. Let it sit without stirring for about a minute to let the bottom set. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center. Sprinkle spinach over the top and continue cooking until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places.
4. Cheese and Serve: Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the eggs. Cover the pan for a minute to let the cheese melt. Garnish with green onions and, if desired, a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese for an extra layer of creamy indulgence.
5. Final Touch: Serve hot with a drizzle of Not So Hard sauce on top for those who might want a little extra kick. Pair with a slice of toasted artisan bread or fresh fruit.

Drink Pairing: A light mimosa or a freshly squeezed orange juice pairs wonderfully with this dish, complementing the eggs’ richness and the mild spice of the sauce. It’s a refreshing twist that will keep the morning light and playful.

This breakfast scramble isn’t just a meal; it’s a peace offering, a conversation starter, and perhaps a gentle bridge to a beautiful friendship… or just a beautiful breakfast. Either way, with the Morningwood Farm’s “Morning-After Scramble,” you’re serving up more than just eggs; you’re making memories.
