Quick eggy meal for kids

And adults, everyone loves this one. Especially the cook, as it only takes about 20 minutes to make. Chop an onion finely, maybe some garlic, and saute in oil. At the moment I'm using some yummy pasture-fed organic pig fat that I keep in the freezer and just slice off when I need a bit to fry with. The butcher actually gave me a shopping bag full of the stuff for a few bucks. He was going to chuck it out. What a waste! I think he was quite happy when I showed up willing to pay for the stuff. Thing is, it's full of Vitamins A and D. Great for growing kids' brains. Anyway, I digress.

So, while you're sauteing the onions, chop your veges, whatever you have at hand. I used broccoli, zucchini, and red pepper. Nice and colourful for the kiddies. Then as they are frying, beat together 5 or 6 eggs, depending on how many you are feeding, with some salt, cream if you have it (I used some bubbly kefir cream I happened to have) and pour onto the veg mix in your pan.

Wait till it's nearly set, then grate some cheese on top and whip it under the griller for a few minutes to brown on top. I reckon the whole meal would cost under $5. And that's using the best quality pasture-fed eggs.

Nearly forgot, I had a bit of left over ham I threw in, but bacon would also work well. Add 50 cents.

Yum!
