Instructions 

• In a six-inch sauté pan melt the butter. Add the egg and fry or scramble it until it is done the way you like it. You can also poach the egg and heat the veggies in a separate pan. Add salt and pepper and set the egg aside.
• In the same pan add 1/2 to 1 cup of leftover vegetables. Sautéed, roasted, or blanched mushrooms, red peppers, broccoli, beans, peas, onion, or corn all work well. Cook the vegetables until they are heated through.
• On a plate, make a bed of torn lettuce (add the vinaigrette if you are using it), add the veggies, and then the egg. Serve with toast.
