I love eggs (I think I mentioned this before!) and scrambled eggs are one of my favorite ways to eat them. I remember the way my mom made them growing up. They were (are?) yummy. In fact, scrambled eggs were one of the first dishes my mom ever taught me to cook. And I could never get my eggs to taste like hers (turns out I was trying to cook them to fast...so stick to medium heat!)
Anyway, here is my mom's recipe for scrambled eggs (sorry I'm giving away your secret ingredient!).
Scrambled eggs (serves 1, but easily doubled or tripled, etc)
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1tbsp milk
1 to 1 1/2 tsp shredded cheese blend
Dash of salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper (the secret!)
1 pat of butter for the pan.
Directions:
Mix the eggs, milk, salt, cayenne pepper and cheese in a bowl. Whisk until scrambled. Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet.When butter is liquid but not sizzling, add the egg mixture. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then slowly turn/mix the eggs with spatula. Serve immediately when eggs are cooked through.
Notes: A good rule of thumb when making eggs for more than 2 people is this: 2 eggs per person + 1 additional egg for every 3 people. You can always give extra to the dog.
Add-ins: (add to the egg mixture before cooking) Do just one or all of them!
Diced onion
Diced green onion
Diced bell pepper
Cooked crumbled sausage
1 tsp fresh parsley
Diced tomato
Diced cooked ham
chopped mushroom
Enjoy!
