In a Scramble

In our attempt to make a quick getaway from the city on Friday night (to get up to the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival) we did a dine-and-dash. I had eggs and leftover bits of cheese. I threw it all into the blender and experienced Vita-Mix "scrambled" eggs for the first time. I only put that in quotes because they are a slightly different animal than traditional scrambled eggs. Because the machine completely homogenizes the mixture the texture is fluffy and almost custardy. Sort of like souffle-meets-an-omelet in consistency.

Of course there is no need to add anything, but it's a great way to use up the this-and-that in your fridge.

Dinner in a Scramble

Serves 2

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons sharp cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons hard goat's milk cheese

1/4 a small onion

6 eggs

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons water

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Place all the cheeses and onion in the container of the Vita-Mix. Start on variable #1. Increase to #10. Run until the cheese is all grated and combined (if using solid chunks).

Stop the machine and add the eggs, milk and water. Start the machine on variable #1, increase to #10, then high. Run the machine for about 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and the sound changes. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Viola! Dinner.
