Pan Scrambled Eggs

Published: Oct 12, 2016 · Updated: Oct 24, 2019 by Mely Martínez

JUMP TO RECIPE

If you’ve ever visited Mexico, you know that the local restaurants offer a large array of egg dishes for breakfast. Eggs are one of the most commonly used types of protein in Mexican breakfast, and the combinations are endless; some regions of the country even have their own distinct egg dish.

Besides the well known “Huevos Rancheros”, we also have the Yucatan “Motul-Style Egg/Huevos Motuleños”, the Veracruz “Dropped Eggs/Huevos Tirados”, and in the northern states, we have “Dried Meat with Eggs/Machaca con Huevos”, just to mention a few.

With all of this egg consumption, it is no surprise that Mexico has remained one of the top consumers of eggs worldwide. I think that one of the reasons for this is that it’s a very affordable and accessible source of high-quality protein, having 6 grams in one large egg, as well as nine essential amino acids (and it only has 70 calories!).

Eggs are also very versatile, with many ways to prepare them across cultures and continents. With all this taken into account, it’s no wonder that eggs are a staple of our diet in Mexico, as it is in many other countries!

    My family loves cooking! When I visited my maternal grandparents growing up, Grandma Mela and my aunts always prepared the most-scrumptious meals. We grew up watching them prepare their meals with lots of fresh herbs and spices. Grandma planted her own squash, garlic cloves, onion, cilantro, mint plants, lemon grass, chamomille herbs, guavas, pomegranates, figs, peaches and limes. She cooked eggs at all times of the day because she had hens that laid eggs daily. Up to this day, I have never tasted eggs as delicious as those fresh, organic eggs! The egg yolks were a beautiful mild orange color and the taste out of this world. She cooked them with cilantro, onion, serrano peppers,and tomato sautéed in oil, bacon drippings or butter-whatever was available at the time. Grandma also prepared them with fried tortilla chips and salsa-migas, with bell peppers, poblano peppers, chile del monte, nopales, pork rinds, with refried beans, potatoes, dried meat, and boiled them as well. Because Grandma could rarely afford meat, eggs were eaten at any time of day, and we loved them! I prepare mine in many ways, too, because cooking is something that's in my family's blood. We love it so much, that even Mom's grandkids and great grandkids love the art of cooking and baking as well. I love seeing your column, Mely, because you bring Mexican cooking to center stage, where it so rightfully belongs!
