Ingredients

Roasted Garlic Chimichurri

Chimichurri Scrambled Eggs (and Spam!)

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Roasted Garlic Chimichurri
  • 6 slices Spam, cut into ¼ inch slices or less (optional)

Instructions

Roasted Garlic Chimichurri

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor, and puree until smooth.
  • For best results, wait at least 2 hours (at room temperature) before use to let the flavors develop.

Chimichurri Scrambled Eggs (and Spam!)

  • Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Roasted Garlic Chimichurri. Whisk vigorously until well combined. 
  • Melt a pat of butter in a pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the egg and chimichurri mixture.
  • Cook, moving the eggs across the pan frequently, until desired cook is achieved. 
  • In another pan, add 6 slices of spam over medium-high heat. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side (or until a crisp crust forms). 
  • Remove from heat and divide among two plates. Add three slices of spam to each plate.
