About the recipe
Making scrambled eggs is fun – just remember that eggs are delicate and will continue to cook even after you’ve taken them off the heat, so it’s really important to remove them just before they’re ready, so that they’ll be just right by the time you come to eat them.
Recipe From
Ingredients
8 large eggs
1 small knob of unsalted butter
Top Tip
For extra flavour, add a few sprigs of finely chopped soft herbs or ½ a finely chopped fresh red chilli (deseeded if you like!) or 2 tablespoons of fresh podded peas to the beaten eggs.
Method
- Crack the eggs into a measuring jug.
- Add a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then use a fork to beat them together well.
- Put a medium saucepan over a low heat and add the butter.
- Leave it to melt slowly, then when it starts to bubble carefully pour in the eggs.
- Stir slowly with a wooden spoon, or a spatula if you’ve got one, so you can get right to the edges of the pan.
- Keep gently stirring until the eggs still look silky, slightly runny and slightly underdone, and then remove from the heat – the heat of the pan will continue to cook the eggs to perfection.
- Serve with lightly buttered toast.
