| Scrambled eggs for
the breakfast, brunch or even a late super snack is common in Asia and the West
as well. Tender and creamy, this dish allows the adventurous cook to add
flavorings and additional ingredients for a unique version. Here's the the
secret and some serving ideas.
|
 |
Break a few fresh eggs in a bowl and
add a few pinches of salt and pepper. Break the eggs with a large fork, whisking
it until they are well blended. Take care not to over-whisk it. Over a
moderately heated pan, melt sufficient butter to cover the bottom of the frying
pan generously. Gently, pour in the beaten eggs. |
 |
Use a wooden spoon to cook by
scrapping up and turning the eggs over, for approx. 3 - 5 minutes or until they
are softly set and still moist. Remember, the eggs will continue to cook
after being removed from the heat, so undercook them slightly even if you
prefer a firmer version of the scrambled eggs. |
SERVING IDEAS
Add chopped fresh herbs such as chives,
tarragon or spring onions to the eggs
Before adding the beaten eggs, try cooking
some diced vegetables such as onions, mushrooms
and peppers with ham or coarsely chopped
bacon pieces.
Stir in a little grated cheese or bits of
full-fat soft cheese just before the eggs are ready.
Try folding peeled cooked shrimps in the
scramble eggs.
