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

A happy Breakfast

Gooooood Morning everybody

Yes, I have just started with my second Blog, one that is purely dedicated to Breakfast. Let's be honest, somewhere in the world someone is eating breakfast....ok millions are eating breakfast. The day starts and we all need our first meal.

For me breakfast is the most important meal (for many nutritionists too, by the way) and I tremendously enjoy eating breakfast.

So I thought I will Blog about it, not every day, but I know over the years it will be a big collection of recipes, stories and photos, something one can browse and enjoy, use or simply smile about. It will not be always the usual breakfast, by far not as Breakfast is different in each country and on each continent. I am often eating the traditional breakfast from Philippines, Tocino with Garlic Rice, not something many European or Americans would call a normal breakfast.

I want to tell you about the happy breakfast, it just happened that we were cooking breakfast together, having fun in the kitchen and starting the day slowly. I made the fried eggs together with the sausage as I love the flavor of the sausage fat with my eggs. Make sure you first fry the sausage and then add the eggs at the end as otherwise the eggs will be overdone. We were fooling around a bit and suddenly we had this happy face smiling at us......what a great way to start the day.

The sausage I used this morning is called a Toulouse Sausage, so it means it comes from the great city of Toulouse in France. It is a fantastic and very flavorful sausage, very rich too with a lot of fat, spiced with garlic and wine, it is a great sausage

So I hope you all stay with me, get some stunning recipes for Breakfast

Have a great day!!!!!
