BREAKFAST TACOS WITH NECTARINE AND AVOCADO SALSA

You can use whatever tortillas you like with these, I love making my own but when that feels like too much effort the La Tortilleria  tortillas are excellent and gluten free. They mill the corn in Kensington so they’re a Melbourne made product and what’s not to love about something local?

Makes 4 tacos

Ingredients
SALSA
1/2 an avocado, 1cm dice
1/2 nectarine, 1cm dice
1 Tablespoon of coriander
1 Tablespoon spring onion
1 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp olive oil
salt

TACOS
4 tortillas
2/3 cup  brussels sprouts or cabbage shredded
1 tsp olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 Tbs grated parmesan or cheddar (try sauerkraut)
3 eggs
1 tsp butter
1 Tablespoon milk (optional, can use water)
salt and pepper

1. Combine salsa ingredients in a small bowl and stir. Set aside.

2. Dress the shredded cabbage in the lime juice and olive oil, season and toss. Set aside.

3. Whisk together the eggs and milk and season.  Chop the butter up and add to the egg mix.
Heat a non stick pan over medium heat and toast the tortillas briefly on each side until warm. Remove and set aside (can wrap in foil to keep warm but you won’t be long now). Turn pan down to med-low, add egg and use a wooden spoon to immediately start pushing it across the pan and folding it over itself. Keep the egg moving and cook until ready; just a couple of minutes. The butter will melt into the egg as you cook it.

ASSEMBLY: Place cabbage on the bottom of the tortilla, top with egg, cheese and salsa. You can add extra hot sauce if you like! I used some left over harissa!

HERBED BREAD OMELET

Economical and delicious!

2 eggs, separated
1 slice stale bread 1 ” thick, crusts removed
1 cup boiling milk
good pinch salt, shake of pepper
1 tsp mixed herbs
good helping of chopped parsley
1 Tab butter or dripping, to fry

Put bread in bowl, pour the milk over.
When it is soaked in, beat up bread with a fork and add flavourings.

Beat yolks and add to bread mixture.
Beat whites very stiffly and fold in.
Heat butter and pour off excess when hot. Cook egg mixture until set.

NOTE:  Herbs & parsley can be replaced by a nice helping of grated cheese instead. Delicious when served with tomato sauce!
