Spicy Sunday Scramble - Comfort Food Recipe

     On Sunday mornings, my grandparents used to make a big deal out of breakfast.  Eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, and fruit salad memories are still very vivid.  I like to make my weekend breakfasts different from the weekday too.  Today I thought, what would turmeric and cayenne pepper be like on a scrambled egg?  I am always looking for imaginative ways to incorporate turmeric into my dishes.  I also had some goat chèvre in the refrigerator.  My first version mixed everything together and fried it up.  It tasted good, but the color was not appetizing and of course the chèvre almost completely melted into the mixture.  So I knew it could be great with just a tweak.  I tried again, this time scrambling the eggs and salt alone.  At the last moment I crumbled in the chèvre and plated the eggs.  Next I sprinkled on the turmeric and cayenne to make a beautiful display.  The flavors all were more noticeable too, since they were not spread throughout the eggs!  Delicious and easy!
