Trout Breakfast Scramble, Cali Style

"I made up this California-style scramble when my husband and I brought three trout back from a camping trip. Quite a few ingredients but most of them are flavorings/spices. This is quick, easy and probably a good way to disguise trout so non-fish eaters might try it."

directions

  • Remove cooked trout meat from the bone and skin. Pick through the meat to make sure you get out as many little bones as you can.
  • Whisk the eggs with the seasoned salt.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet.
  • Add the peppers and onions. Cook for about 3 minutes or until semi-soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the lemon pepper and garlic salt to the veggie mixture.
  • Add the butter and ham/bacon. Cook until the meat is crispy and the veggies are pretty soft.
  • Add the trout and incorporate it with the rest of the ingredients for about 1 minute, until well mixed.
  • Add the eggs and begin "scrambling;" mix for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Cook to your desired level of dryness (some people like "wetter" eggs).
  • Add cheese and mix well. Cook until cheese is thoroughly melted.
