I woke up earlier with a happy heart as I harvested a few crops from my mini garden. It feels so good to just pick and harvest spices, vegetables, and fruits despite the limited area I have at home since I am just living in a subdivision.
Bitter Gourd with egg for breakfast? It is one of my favorite meals as I taste the unique flavors of bitter gourd blended with the richness of scrambled eggs in this breakfast recipe. It is not only delicious but it has a burst of nutritious ingredients and tastes to kickstart my day.
And here are some of the quick shots as I was strolling around my mini garden to pick up some ingredients for breakfast. Until I finally decided to have bitter gourd with egg.
As I strolled around, I noticed many flowers of the crops that were in bloom and I looked forward to harvesting more spices, fruits, and vegetables. And I was so delighted since I was able to harvest several crops such as tomato, sweet pepper, and bitter gourds. After I harvested, I went back to the kitchen to cook.
Here are the ingredients and cooking instructions for my special bitter gourd with egg recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 small-sized Bitter gourd
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 Finely Chopped Onion
- 1 Chopped Green Tomato
- 1 Chopped Green Sweet Pepper
- 4 Cloves of minced Garlic
- 1 Chopped of Sweet Pepper
- A pinch of Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
The first thing that I did was to prepare all the ingredients which included preparing the bitter gourd. I sliced the bitter gourds lengthwise. Then, I removed the seeds and their center portions.
When everything at the center was removed, I sliced the bitter gourd into thin rounds. I sprinkle a pinch of salt on the slices and let them absorb for fifteen minutes to reduce their bitterness.
After the waiting time, I rinsed the bitter gourd thoroughly and squeezed out some excess water.
On one plate, I chopped the other ingredients such as the garlic, onions, tomato, and sweet pepper, and placed them on one plate. Here are the sliced ingredients and the eggs.
Meanwhile, I cracked the three large eggs and placed them in a bowl. I put a pinch of pepper and salt to taste.
After the eggs were beaten, I started heating oil in a pan and added the chopped onions, garlic, sweet pepper, and tomato. I stirred them well to blend the spices and it was aromatic while I was sauteed them all.
Then I mixed the thinly sliced rounded bitter gourd into the pan and cooked the bitter gourd.
I let the mixture be cooked and covered in a pan through low heat until the bitter gourd achieved a tender taste and was not mushy.
After a while, I added the cracked eggs to the bitter gourd mixture and mixed them well. I allowed the eggs to cook until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolks remained runny.
I tasted the mixture and seasoned it with salt and pepper according to my taste preference and plated the Bitter Gourd with Egg mixture on a glass container.
And finally, here is my delicious bitter gourd with egg for breakfast.
I enjoyed my breakfast with this delightful recipe. I believe it is not only tasty but as well as nutritious.
And yes, the recipe was perfect to energize me for this day. It was even more yummy when I served it with hot white rice. I had a great meal and I am looking forward to cooking another meal as I pick some crops in my little garden at home.
