The perfect scrambled egg

It is not difficult to make a scrambled egg.......so why do we get so often a scrambled egg that is not perfect, not even close to perfect, sometimes so bad that it is just terrible?

Very simple, it is actually not that easy to make an absolutely perfect scrambled egg, one has to follow a couple of basic rules, have a good non stick pan, heat should not be too high, the egg needs to be seasoned only slightly and only before it is cooked and then of course.....you need really good, fresh eggs! There really is a difference between a good egg and a not so good egg.

The secret is to have some cold cream and add it at the end when the eggs are basically cooked as this will stop the cooking

So that is what you need for 4 people

8 ea Organic, fresh Eggs
2 Pinch of Salt
1 Pinch of white ground Pepper
50 g (1.8 oz) Butter
90 ml (3 oz) Cream

Whisk the eggs with a whisk till they are well scrambled














Heat a non stick pan to medium heat
Add the Butter, melt. It will bubble but should not get brown
Then add the whisked eggs, season now with salt and pepper
With a non scratch spatula mix the eggs on the heat till they are nicely scrambled
When the eggs are done add the cream, mix and take off the heat.
Serve immediately with garnishes of your choice
