What is Scrambled Egg?

Scrambled eggs is a dish made from eggs stirred, whipped or beaten together while being gently heated, typically with salt, butter, oil and sometimes other ingredients

A lot of people get this simple breakfast wrong by over cooking the eggs or worse still, cooking them in a microwave. You should never make scrambled eggs in a microwave as this just evaporates all of the moister in the eggs and leaves them dry.

Scrambled eggs are a bit like Omelettes in that they are both made with eggs, cooked in a pan with butter or oil.

Scrambled eggs are the perfect addition to the iconic full English breakfast.

Cooking Instructions

Crack the Eggs into a small mixing bowl.
Beat the eggs together with a fork so that the egg yolks and the egg white is fully combined
Get a flat frying pan on the stove and put the butter into the pan.
Melt the butter for 30 seconds on a low heat
When the butter is melted, simply tip in the egg mixture and combine it with the melted butter by mixing it up with a fork.

Let the eggs cook for a minute until it resembles a part cooked omelette, then mix it up again with a fork so that it becomes scrambled.
Turn the uncooked side of the eggs over so that they start to cook then remove the pan from the heat.
Cover the eggs with a lid or a large plate and allow the residual heat to continue cooking the eggs just while you butter your toast.
By covering the eggs this way you allow the moister to stay in the eggs.
