Looking for an organic breakfast that also qualifies as southern food? Believe it or not, many southern recipes can include organic foods. These might include organically raised fruits and vegetables, as well as organic eggs. What’s better than eggs for breakfast? They’re high in protein and vitamins, and they’re delicious and will keep you full until lunch. Next time you want an organic breakfast of southern food, start with eggs.
Instead of the same old boring scrambled eggs, make your eggs southern-style. How do you do this? By incorporating the South’s favorite flavors. You’re probably familiar with the “cooking trinity” that’s often seen in southern cuisines like Creole, Cajun, Gullah, and Geechee. The trio consists of onion, bell pepper, and celery. To make southern-scrambled eggs, heat a little oil in an iron skillet and sauté diced onion, diced bell pepper, and chopped celery until the veggies are just beginning to get soft. Add the beaten eggs to the pan and scramble as usual. Just before the eggs are done, add a little minced garlic. For real southern flavor, drizzle the cooked eggs and veggies with hot sauce.
What can you serve with your organic southern breakfast? Fruit is always a good, healthy idea. Some favorite southern fruits include peaches, pears, watermelon, strawberries, and cantaloupe. And don’t forget about the Florida citrus fruits, like oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit.
Another southern food you might want to include is grits. And yes, you can find grits that are ground from organically grown corn. The grits will provide a starch to enjoy with your breakfast.
