Southwestern Breakfast Scramble

The life of a food photographer can be kind of difficult sometimes. We try to take the best pictures we can of our creations so they look just as delicious as they taste. Sometimes though, the food just isn’t very pretty. Case in point, this Southwestern Breakfast Scramble. Scrambled eggs mixed with all kinds of good stuff! It certainly isn’t the prettiest dish, but oh goodness is it good! I almost didn’t want to post it, but once I took a bite, my mouth was filled with this deliciousness!

Fresh onions, red bell pepper, avocado, and black beans kick up your plain old scrambled eggs and add more fiber, vitamins, and flavor! While I call this a “breakfast” scramble, I would happily eat this for brunch, lunch, or for a quick dinner. Feel free to change up the veggies in this dish. You can do different beans or red bell pepper, whatever you want!
