My middle eastern roots come into play a lot when it comes to food. It is not uncommon to find a meal spread with plates that everyone shares from, particularly for breakfast. For this breakfast, I made scrambled eggs, a plate of tomatoes with dressing, and a plate of cheese, olives, mint, and labnah (traditional sour cream).
Scrambled eggs, the right way. Thank you Chef Ramsey.
I’ll admit it. I’ve been making scrambled eggs wrong almost my entire life. I have Gordon Ramsey videos to thank for learning the right way. Anyways, if you haven’t made scrambled eggs in the fashion that Gordon Ramsey demands, then you are missing out. The texture of the eggs is something I’ll never get over. They’re so creamy and delicous, its borderline wrong to make them any other way.
Tomatoes with dressing.
Tomatoes are good for you, and if you’re a male, they are also good for your prostrate. Anyways, as if they weren’t already delicious on their own, I accented the tomato slices with olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, garlic, cumin, and mint. Incredibly refreshing and healthy, these tomatoes are sure to flip your taste buds and look at tomatoes in a different light.
Labneh, olives, cheese, and mint.
Served with the eggs and tomatoes are plates of traditional sour cream (labneh), olives, white cheese, and fresh mint. It’s tasty to combo some of these items. For example, I like to eat an olive with a bite of labneh. Then in my next bite, instead of an olive, I’ll use some fresh mint. You can mix and match flavors and they just work together.
A family experience.
Fresh mint, cheese, and olives. 
A new traditional breakfast with eggs, tomatoes, cheese, labneh, and olives.
My family and I sat around this tray of food and ate it with pita bread. We all shared the same plates, each person reaching into the breakfast spread for their next bite. I always thought sharing food in this way was a great experience, and some of my best memories are centered around spreads like this.
