A Little Thing I Like to Call "Special Eggs"

I can't remember how much I have talked about eggs already. So, forgive me if I am being repetitive. But I love eggs. I eat them all the time. Like I easily go through a dozen a week. I am trying my best to switch over to a combo of eggs and egg whites to keep my cholesterol down, and it seems to be an easy transition. I love eggs for breakfast, eggs for lunch, eggs for dinner, eggs as a snack....you get the idea.

Anyway, as the "Queen of the Leftovers", I am often putting random ingredients into my eggs based on whatever I have floating around in the fridge. A couple of weeks ago, I added some random assortment of veggies and cheeses and meats into my eggs and lo and behold, PRESTO, a magical addicting creation was made. I started making them then over and over (yes, sometimes twice in one day) when my husband jokingly asked me, "Let me guess, you are making your special eggs today?". Hence, the new name for them.

They are special. Oh, and p.s. this recipe is for one person as that is how I am usually making them. But you can double, triple, etc for more people.

Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): 4 *note: I put more cheese than the average person into my eggs, however, this recipe is just not the same without the cheese, so don't even bother trying them without.
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 3
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 2

Special Eggs
1 egg
1 egg white
Green Bell Pepper (1 quarter inch thick slice)- finely chopped
Red Bell Pepper (1 quarter inch thick slice)- finely chopped

Yellow Bell Pepper (1 quarter inch thick slice)- finely chopped

Sweet Onion (1 thin slice)- finely chopped
1/2 of a white button or brown mushroom- finely chopped
2-3 slices of jarred jalapenos- finely chopped
1 slice of Pepper Jack Cheese
1 slice of deli turkey
1 potato- diced
Olive Oil
Butter
Salt/Pepper
Optional: salsa, sour cream, and Chalula hot sauce

Heat less than 1 Tbl olive oil in small fry pan. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper (and that Parmesan seasoning I told you about before if you have it). Mix and cook over low heat. While potatoes are cooking, dice up your peppers, onions, mushroom, and jalapenos. Dice up the turkey as well and 1/4 of the slice of pepper jack cheese. In another small skillet, preferably nonstick, melt about a 1/2 tsp of butter. Add the peppers, onions, mushrooms, and jalapenos to the butter, and saute for 1-2 minutes, or until softened. While veggies are sauteing, mix/beat/whisk egg and egg white in a bowl. Add turkey and the diced cheese. Continue to stir and cook potatoes. Add the egg mixture to the veggies, and scramble your eggs. Potatoes should be about done. Put potatoes on a plate, top with the scrambled eggs. Then dice the remaining cheese and place on top of eggs while they are still hot, so cheese melts slightly. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with salsa, sour cream, and Chalula (all 3 are optional, but I highly recommend).

So special.

Pic of Fileto Di Manzo....Thanks, Andy!

Here is a picture from my friend Andy's phone when he was in town visiting last week and I made the the Fileto Di Manzo dinner. Hope it gives you an idea on the "presentation":

Notice the wine. The meal is not complete without the wine. But let's be honest: what in life is complete without the wine?! Nothing I can think of.
