week Tweenty-threE: Christmas scrambled | Mexidos

This is a traditional Xmas recipe from the north of Portugal. It has to be present every year during Xmas holiday on the following days: 24th and 25th of December, New years eve and day, and Epiphany eve!
There are two kinds of Scrambled (mexidos) - the rich and the poor ones. The difference between both versions is solely the ratio of bread to egg yolks. More yolks, more expensive...
The bread has to be a special bread from a small village - padronelo's bread. Almonds, nuts, raisins, honey and porto wine exalt the richness of this sweet!
My mom kindly decorates it with cute pinenut flowers to finish the product.
For me, will always be a memory of Christmas.
