Fancy in Five Minutes: Superfood Scramble

Happy Friday!  After working hard all week, don't you deserve a special treat?  I find that a fancy breakfast sets the tone for the day, plus by Friday my poor little brain is so worn out it needs some nutritional TLC.  So this morning I made a yummy scramble, which took five minutes in the microwave, and contained 4 "superfoods."*  Here's how:
(Disclaimer: When I bought my groceries on Sunday, I took a few minutes to cut up my veggies and put them in little containers in the fridge.  So they were already chopped and ready to make my scramble.)

Ingredients:
Spray butter or non-stick cooking spray
Salt and Pepper
Portobello mushroom cap, sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 whole chopped tomato
1/2 avocado
salsa
1 egg


Directions:
Spray the bottom of a microwave safe bowl with butter or cooking spray.  Place the bell pepper, mushroom, and onion in the bowl and season with salt and pepper.  Microwave for 1 minute. 



Add the egg, break the yolk with a fork and stir in with the veggies.  Microwave for 1 minute.  Stir one more time.  Microwave for 1 minute. 


Mmmmm....steamy
Top with tomato, salsa, and avocado. 

Total time: 5 minutes

Ta-da!
Extra Credit: Spend at least 5 minutes eating your fancy breakfast without doing anything else while you are eating.  Turn off the computer, close your case book,  sit at a table, pay attention to your food, and enjoy!

Confession:  I sprinkled organic bacon on my scramble, which is not a superfood, but I had it in the fridge as part of my DIY salad bar.
