Rowell’s Brunch Specialty

Going out to brunch on Sundays with Rowell use to be our thing to do on the weekends. That is, before we had kids. Now it takes a little more effort to be out of the house by 10am and long lines at a popular restaurant don’t bode well with the kids. So.. we decided that if we can’t go out for brunch, then why not just make brunch at home?

I get spoiled on the weekends because Rowell usually makes breakfast and lets me sleep in a little. My absolute favorite brunch dish that he makes are scrambled eggs with tomatoes, avocado and chives on toasted sourdough bread. It is SO good! The eggs are cooked slow so they’re almost cheesy without any cheese. The trick is to cook the eggs as slow as humanly possible and this will seriously test your patience but the result is amazing and the avocado, tomatoes and chives give it such a refreshing taste. Plus, its not too heavy so it doesn’t put you in a food coma after and you’re still able to be productive.

The recipe is by Gordon Ramsey and Rowell found it on Youtube. You can watch the video here. We have a modified version and swapped out the mushrooms for avocado because we are Californian after all.

Mr. Ramsey would be proud.
