Creamy scrambled eggs - reprise

[winebuyer]

Following on from fabemmy's post a few day's ago, I had scrambled eggs this morning as suggested by hammerman (no milk, bit of nutmeg, salt, plenty of pepper). It works!! Good call by hammerman.

I just wonder if a splash of milk is okay just as you take the eggs away from the heat - just to arrest the cooking process, so the eggs don't get any harder?

BTW, I went up (or down?) to London yesterday and had breakfast in a Spanish bar at Borough Market called Brindisa. Inspired by much discussion of scrambled eggs, that was what I had. They cook it with chives, and serve it with Manchego and grilled tomato. All very nice with a couple of double espressos.

Nice one WB.

Don't forget that scrambled eggs are just omlettes gone wrong so you can chuck anything in them....chopped up bacon and mushrooms are nice.

Probably nicer to add a dash...and i mean a dash of double cream instead of milk. Trouble is, not everyone has a carton of cream and unless you're going to use the whole lot on something else, it's a waste.

Reading that made me want to scrap the idea of tomorrow's "wonderful" green salad!

I love scrambled egg with diced tomato and grated cheese through it

Wow, scrambled eggs is just such a versatile dish. Look out soon for The Scrambled Eggs Cookbook.

Or has that been done?

So ... what would you say are the:

(1) Worst Cookbook; and

(2) Best Cookbook?

Simple efficacy of recipes doesn't have to be the criteria.

For instance:

... there is a book by Leah Leneman called:

VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR ONE.

Yes, I kid you not.

What does such a book say about you?
Your friends will never come for dinner because you make them eat your vegetarian food.

That�s funny because I was on that scrambled egg post too and being rather pregnant, I simply had to have scrambled eggs on toast!
