Scrambled Eggs

Recommended Posts

After reading that scrambled eggs and gluten-free tortillas are a good combination I decided to have a go. (Bear in mind I've never scrambled an egg or eaten a tortilla until today). I don't really like the taste of eggs but it came out very nice and I will be making it again. It was tricky to eat without egg spilling out everywhere though, so I'm after some tips.

Is there a good method to scramble an egg? I whisked 2 large eggs with 1 teaspoon of milk in a bowl, tipped it into a non stick pan (to which the egg proceeded to stick :lol:) waited for the bottom to look non-liquid then mixed it about a bit with a spatula.

Should the tortilla wrap all the way around the eggs or just fold once. The problem I had was the preparation for soft tortillas, 30 seconds in the microwave with a few drops of water, produced a tortilla which was anything but soft and so wrapping was a problem.

Are there any good toppings you can recommend? I had a bit of maple syrup which was delicious but a bit of variety couldn't hurt.

Thanks for any tips!

Add salt and pepper with the milk. And spray the pan with Pam, even a non-stick pan.

Broncos Tips for a Better Breakfast Burrito

1. Use a non-stick pan

2. Pam the pan

3. Put the pan on medium low heat (never high heat for eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

4. Whisk 2-3 eggs and add some peppers or onions

5. Pour the eggs in.

6. Let the eggs cook for a minute or 2

7. Then start pushing the cooked eggs toward the middle and allowing the uncooked liquid to touch the pan where the cooked eggs used to be (on the oustide of the pan)

8. Repeat cooking process until liquid is gone.

9. Add cheese

10. Take a corn tortilla, wrap it in a paper towel, microwave for 20-30 seconds. Add eggs immediately

Add Salsa and eat

I cook my tortillas by sandwiching them between a damp paper towel, and warming for about 20 seconds. You don't want to COOK the tortilla, just get it warm. Otherwise it will get hard. I always add a bit of cheese to my eggs, as I don't particularly love the taste either. Good luck!

I tried the damp paper towel trick and that really improved the tortilla. This time it was salt and pepper with the eggs and that tasted nice as well.

I haven't eaten cheese for years (and then it was cheese spread, not real cheese) so I've no idea if I'll like it but its worth a try!

Thanks for the hints,

Edd

So does anyone know what kinds of tortillas are gluten free? I'd love to add them back into my diet!

Thanks,

Mission corn tortillas are gluten free and very good. They're marked gluten free right on the bag. They sell them at Wal-mart.

Thanks, Angie!

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
