Having scrambled eggs for breakfast is one of my favourite pleasures on a Sunday morning. I love it so much that I even prefer to cook it at home because I get so disappointed when I order some in a café and all I get is a sad dry omelette…
Along with simple toast, butter and a coffee, this is the perfect traditional Irish or English breakfast. You can also cook it along with French toast or Homemade strawberry jam for brunch.
My dear darling is Irish so he showed me how to make perfect scrambled eggs in 10 minutes. Just cook the beaten eggs in a small pot over a very low heat, mixing constantly with a whisk until the mixture is starting to get thick. I advise you to turn off the heat once the eggs are almost cooked (but still a bit liquid), and finish mixing until they reach the desired firmness. I personally like runny scrambled eggs, but some people prefer to have them very cooked, so just do it as you like.
You need to use the good ingredients along with the eggs to have the perfect scrambled eggs:
- pour a drop of milk or cream, to make the scrambled eggs softer and creamier.
- grate a little bit of nutmeg into the preparation bowl, it will give a nice addictive after-taste to the eggs.
- incorporate a slice of York ham to the eggs, its soft taste makes for a perfect combination.
This advice is totally personal, there are as many ways of preparing the perfect scrambled eggs as people on Earth.
And you, how do you like to cook your eggs in the morning?
Bon appétit!
