Three Breakfast Scrambles

Weeks and weeks ago when D and I went to Ed Lesters and shopping we started our Saturday at IHOP. We each ordered one of the scrambles they had been advertising. They were so good! Well you know me, I had to try to make them at home. That is one of my things I guess? I love to replicate delicious restaurant recipes. They are so easy to make at home. I decided not to add salt. I let the cheese and other topping season my scrambles. Feel free to use the salt shaker if you like, I do on occasion. I am just trying to cut back in support of my family member on a no/low salt diet. Honestly I did not miss it in the California and Tuscan Scrambles. But the eggs and tomatoes seemed a little blah next to the salty bacon in the All American Scramble. I am trying to decide which might be my favorite, but it is difficult? I think in this case variety wins. I like having all options available to me. The California Breakfast Scramble is cool, fresh and creamy. The avocado is luxurious next to the salsa and eggs. The All American Breakfast Scramble is fresh, crispy and savory. Bacon and eggs is so comforting. I love the tomato as a fresh topping. The Tuscan Breakfast Scramble is fresh, tangy and savory. I love the red peppers, they are a little tangy from their brining liquid. It is delicious with the spinach and parmesan. See why I can't choose just one? I hope you enjoy these scramble recipes. Come back and let me know if you have favorite.
