Eggplant Brunch Scramble image

Yes you can have eggplant for breakfast. It is delicious and good for you. I try to limit the meat in my diet and this really tastes great! This coming from a Sicilian! Try it once ,it will be a favorite. Eggplants are very abundant right now,take advantage of the bounty. I make extra eggplant to use in another recipe with parmesean or penne and spegghetti sauce. Well worth the time spent!
