Nuova Ricetta! [New Recipe]...Pasticcio

We invented this recipe in 5 minutes with the random Italian ingredients that we found in Alexis's refrigerator!  It's quick and simple, and delizioso, if we do say so ourselves... :)

Italiano Pasticcio [Italian Mess]

Ingredients:

2 Roma Tomatoes, diced

1 tsp. Ground Basil (fresh or frozen)

4 eggs

1 dash of milk

3 slices of bacon, crumbled (optional)

1/2 tbsp. butter OR 1 tbsp. olive oil

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded or chopped

salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

           In a large saucepan, place butter/olive oil and minced garlic on low heat, being careful not to burn garlic.

           Meanwhile, whisk eggs together with a dash of milk until pale yellow.  Pour into saucepan, add salt, and let cook until scrambled on medium heat.  When eggs are almost finished, add basil and lower heat to medium low.  Toss in tomatoes and cheese, and cook for about a minute.  Finally, toss in bacon bits and turn off heat.

           Serve and add salt and pepper to taste.
