Happy Friday!!!
What in the world is that?? Yeah, that’s what I wondered too. I recently came across Santa Claus melons. I’d never heard of such a thing. Well, as a budding food blogger, it was pretty much my duty to try it. Right? Right.
Scoop out the seeds similar to that of a cantaloupe. (Cantaloupe is a hard word to spell, by the way. I always leave out the “u”.)
The verdict….it tasted like a cross between honeydew melon and cucumber. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. Although, I learned that ripe Santa Claus melons are yellow. Oops, this was definitely not ripe!
Well, what to have with the melon??
Buffalo Chicken Egg White Scramble
Recipe slightly adapted from Foodie Fresh
Ingredients:
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
3 egg whites
1/2 cup Rotisserie chicken
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
5 white button mushrooms, chopped
2 tbl crumbled blue cheese
1 tbl Texas Pete hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Heat a pan on medium heat and add olive oil. Add egg whites. Top with spinach and mushrooms. Scrape egg whites from bottom of pan occassionaly to avoid sticking. Toss spinach and mushrooms as they cook. Once egg whites are just cooked, add the chicken and blue cheese. Allow cheese to melt a bit. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add hot sauce and devour! Serves one.
This recipe can be altered to fit your preferences! I’m not a fan of egg beaters, so I went with egg whites. I added mushrooms, but leave out if they aren’t your thing. Add more or less of the cheese and hot sauce.
Have a great day!!
I hope you enjoyed the scramble. It’s one of my favorites! But for a minute there I thought you were going to put the melon in the scramble! 🙂
I wonder if the melon would be better with a touch of salt. That’s how I like my watermelon and my cucumber. Maybe the salt would bring out the flavor more. Salt is good like that.
Ah that’s a great idea!! I have some melon left, so I’ll have to give it a try. And I loooooooooved the scramble. I’m thinking I need to make it again this weekend.
Theres a terrific amount of knowledge in this acritle!
Thanks Latoya!! Hope you’re having a great day!!
Oh I might try this one on my upcoming beach trip! Vacation is one of the few times I actually cook breakfast.
