Sometimes my scrounge dinners come from "I don't have anything to make for dinner." And sometimes I realize I have something in my fridge or pantry that is fast approaching its expiration date and needs to be used. This dinner began as the later. I had a bunch of broccoli that I'd nearly forgotten about. It wasn't exactly at its peak of freshness and the only answer was to roast the heck out of it. So I cut it up, tossed it with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted at 375°F for about 30 minutes until crispy.
Now... what to do with it? Bacon! (Bacon is always an answer). I pulled out one of my pre-portioned packages of bacon from my freezer (another post for another day), sliced them up browned them.
Drained and rinsed a can of Cannellini Beans and tossed them with the bacon and roasted broccoli.
It seemed like it was missing something so I topped it with an over-easy egg, some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and some black pepper. The yolk from the egg coated the beans/broccoli/bacon mixture and made it silky and delicious.
This could be great for any meal!
Enjoy!
