This may sound weird, but I spontaneously created a recipe for a one-person meal that is quick, easy, yet satisfying and well-rounded: scrambled eggs for dinner. But before you roll your eyes, hear me out: this recipe is unique and satisfying. Just look at this simple dish, the perfect serving for one person (or you can just as easily double it up for two).

The killer combination of zucchini, garlic and paneer (a cheese common in South Asian cuisine that is an un-aged curd cheese made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or vinegar) elevate this scrambled egg (yes, just one egg!) to great heights. I’m willing to go out on a limb here and say that served with Tabasco and ketchup to taste, this is a shockingly awesome meal. Now I just need to come up with a cool name for the dish… any ideas?

RECIPE

(The ingredients are listed above – :cheese” is paneer and for the olive oil, I used Pasolivo’s lemon olive oil)

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee and add the sliced or cubed zucchini and chopped garlic. Cook for a few minutes, stirring often.
2. Add the paneer and season the saucepan contents with sea salt and black pepper.
3. Empty the cheese and vegetables from the saucepan and pour olive oil into the now-empty saucepan.
4. Crack the egg into the pan, scrambling immediately. When it is almost cooked to desired consistency, add the vegetables and paneer back in. Cook until done; serve immediately (optional: Tabasco and ketchup)
