Almost Green Scrambled eggs with Spinach
"Breakfast for one or double it. Tastes great with leftover ham. The green of the spinach is a nice contrast. Stir fry some red peppers and mushrooms to have on the side. Wholewheat toast Mmmm."

Did these up for breaky this morning, used the cottage cheese and cut the cheddar by half, they were still delicious!! we love spinach, this looks great served on brown toast, thanks Bergy. another tastey recipe!! -
I agree with ms bold--this may be a preference thing. I found the texture of these eggs very strange, almost gummy. I did like the use of spinach and thyme, so will make scrambled eggs the way I usually do with those additions. Different strokes :-) -
Perhaps it is a difference in preference for cooking eggs, as I like mine light, fluffy and yellow without a browned crust. I don't know, but something was really off for me with the texture of these eggs. The flour seemed to make them pasty, and while I usually beat a little cream into my eggs to make them fluffy, these seemed to have lost all "egg-like" qualities. I did like the addition of spinach, as I am always trying to get more veggies in my diet. I will add the spinach and thyme to my traditional method for scrambling eggs. But, I am not sold on the milk/flour/sour cream aspect of this recipe. -
I used large curd cottage cheese and pepper jack cheese, because this is all I have in the house. I don't even like cottage cheese or pepper jack cheese... this was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!

I loved this recipe!!! I served it for brunch this morning with coffee cake and homemade sausage. Fantastic! Instead of cheddar, I used fontina, and I added a couple of chopped green onions with the spinach. I also used cottage cheese, but I didn't puree it. It still turned out fine. The cottage cheese just blended right in. Thanks for the great recipe. I will make it again.

I thought this was very tasty. Since all I had was vanilla yogurt and I was hungry, I subbed the yogurt for the cottage cheese or sour cream. I can't wait to make it with those ingredients, I bet it is even better. With the yogurt, the texture was creamy like mashed potatoes. So I got to thinking and I bet this mixture mixed with mashed potatoes would make the very best twice baked potatoes. Can't wait to try it again! Especially with the cottage cheese. Yum!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
