🥄 Texture

Soft, creamy scrambled eggs with small tender, slightly crumbly pieces of browned ground beef. Juicy bursts from the diced tomato and a melty, slightly stretchy top layer of cheese add contrast and richness.

👃 Aroma

Warm, savory aroma dominated by browned beef and cooked eggs with a background of olive oil and melted cheese. Fresh tomato brightness and a faint sweet-tang from the white balsamic lend a subtle lively note.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Dry Prosecco or another dry sparkling wine to cut the richness and refresh the palate (alternatively a lightly roasted coffee for breakfast).

🥗 Side Dishes

Toasted crusty bread or sourdough for scooping, a simple arugula salad with lemon dressing to add freshness, or roasted baby potatoes for a heartier meal.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, white balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the diced tomato to the cooked beef in the pan and stir for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg mixture over the beef and tomato in the pan. Let it sit for 10 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom, until the eggs are softly scrambled and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and cover the pan for 1 minute to melt the cheese.

  7. 7

    Serve warm. Tip: Use low heat to avoid overcooking eggs and keep them soft.
