Off the Eaten Path : Inspired Recipes for Adventurous Cooks

By Bob Blumer
Ballantine Books - 2000

This recipe is based on something that Blumer got used to eating at a Hollywood restaurant - scrambled eggs with green onions, pancetta, avocado, chili, parmesean, garlic - brilliant contrast of soft eggs, ripe avocado, crisp pancetta (I use streaky bacon and it works just as well) and just enough sharpness from the onions and heat (if you want it) to make this good enough for dinner, not just brunch. The parmesean is the real star here though, as Blumer says it makes the eggs sweeter than usual, so all taste buds are satisfied. The avocado should be ripe enough without being mushy, and it is an ideal meal to make with someone else's help, as it all comes together fairly quickly.
