Easy Baked Egg Scramble

 Avanti baked scrambled organic eggs two ways, one w/ herbs and cheese and the other fully loaded

This another Avanti favorite open-ended recipe.  No specific amounts are required.  Make it once or twice and you’ll customize it as you like.  Watch Chef Mark Cleveland and filmmaker Ryan Adams in action making these organic egg delights on the Avanti Natural Network YouTube Channel.  Fresh in the Avanti Natural Kitchen Baked Scrambled Eggs

Organic eggs and veggies ready for the oven scramble

I prefer a well-seasoned cast iron pan.  You can use a ceramic, non-stick green pan too.  The regular non-stick pans work fine as well, but make sure there are no nicks or scratches.  And it’s kind of time to phase them out now that the ceramic ones are getting much better in quality and non stick function. 

Butter & evoo in a hot pan right out of the oven

How to oven scramble one egg perfectly. 

Organic egg scramble w/ veggies almost ready to plate

Put seasoned 6 inch cast iron skillet into the oven.  No need to preheat.  Set oven to 375.  When it reaches temp, let it stay in the hot oven for 15 mins.  Whisk egg w/ a fork or spoon.  I add my hot sauce to the uncooked egg.  Go plain, or just w/ salt, pepper, herbs, cheese, about 1 T each.  Add a small pat of butter, coconut oil, evoo or a combo to the hot pan, no more than a teaspoon or so will suffice.  Once melted put the egg mixture into the hot pan.  Back in the oven for 3 mins.  Stir once, and if it needs a bit more time put it back into the oven for a minute longer

Organic egg bake w/ herbs and cheese, ready to fold

For a full breakfast meal add rice, tofu, beans, veggies etc.  About 1 cup total.  For a delish Japanese favorite add some organic cooked chicken, a little soy sauce, sake, scallion and sesame seeds and serve over organic brown rice.  The more extras you add, the longer the overall cooking time.

And the art of the folded scramble w/ veggetables

You can serve these on a plate, or right out of the hot skillet.  Put a clean and classy kitchen towel over the handle to make sure no one grabs the hot pan.

Avanti In Motion

By the time this blog is published, it will be the end of an era for Avanti Café on 17^th Street in Costa Mesa.  We have sold our restaurant location and are entering a new and exciting new phase for Avanti Natural & the Avanti Natural Kitchen. 

Starting in late summer, we’ll be doing culinary consulting, recipe, menu & product development as well as creating Avanti Natural Lifestyle content for our Avanti Natural YouTube channel.  We look forward to engaging w/ members of the Southern California community that share our interest in all things environmentally conscious and naturally delicious.  If you have a topic or guest suggestion for our youtube talk show, please contact us.  We’re excited to broaden our scope and talk on a wide variety of subjects w/ active people interested in creating a better environment for us all.  

Our other big project will be the Avanti Natural Kitchen cookbook, which will feature many recipes you’ve enjoyed here at Avanti Café.  The book will launch as an ebook in a whole new concept geared toward serious foodies and beginners as well.  All recipes will have complete tutorials, ingredient info and culinary nutrition tips.  And all will be based on the Avanti Natural philosophies of natural cooking & living. 

Make sure to follow Avanti Natural on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram and like Avanti Café and Chefs Mark Cleveland and Tanya Fuqua on Facebook too.  You’ll find everything that is going on w/ us posted daily. 

We’ll also be doing catering, events & pop ups locally.  And feel free to send new and exciting opportunities our way.  We plan to take the Avanti Natural concept of creating food that is BOTH Healthy AND Delicious to restaurants, delis & quality food purveyors far and wide. 

Our nine-year run here at Avanti Café has been the high point of our careers so far.  And now it’s time to take the skills that we have honed within these four walls to a wider platform and larger audience.

As we bid everyone a fond adieu from the Avanti Café restaurant location here are a few photos of some of our culinary triumphs
