"Morning Memories"

When I was a kid, my mom used to make me scrambled eggs with onion and tomato. It was my favorite way to eat eggs. This morning, I felt like recreating that with a twist - roasted tomatoes and cheese. This version is actually a sandwich, since I used to eat it with tortillas.

So I started slicing 3 plum tomatoes (1/2 inch slices) and put them on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and coarse salt. Oven was at 350 degrees and tomatoes were in...right after that, I finely chopped about a third of an onion, put it on a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. While the onion was getting translucid, I whisked 3 eggs in a bowl, added salt and pepper. When the onion was ready, I poured in the eggs and mixed softly, turning the eggs only once so they develop a light crust on both sides. When eggs were ready I put the toast on a plate and got some shreeded cheese (pick your fave, goat will be ideal).

Okay so here you go: Toast, roasted tomato slices, scrambled egg layer, shreeded cheese, toast. Put it back in the oven to get the cheese nice and soft. By the way, these ingredients are for 3 portions.

A couple of minutes and you're done. Hot coffee, please! The darker the better.

I can't tell you how much I remember the smell of onion and tomato as I was going down the stairs to eat breakfast made by Mom. And this morning, I felt the same thing. Perhaps, my son will remember that same smell one day.
