Okay - Photo Fail, but they tasted wonderful.
To get the best special eggys- (to the taste of Miss Four) I like to use rich, free range, antibiotic free eggs. I don't know if it's morals, or if these truely taste better- all i know is that they make for the creamiest, fluffiest eggys.
To make said eggs I pop the eggs, milk/cream and a couple of teaspoons of turmeric into the blender and pulse it until I get a cappucino like froth... I allow the pan to get really hot and then turn the temperature right down. Wipe the pan down with olive oil (it's essential these eggs don't stick) and spoon the mix into the pan as to keep all the air in. I slowly cook the eggs, folding them gently and pull them off the heat once they 80% cooked, then I gently fold 1-2 tspoons of olive oil spread (or butter if you want to feel even more guilt) and season them accordingly ... Miss Four loves salt, and I love pepper... Mr Skinny loves salt and pepper and Cholola Hot Sauce...
When dieting I use light milk or occasionally light soy milk, when indulging I use cooking cream.
I usually make this for 5 people and use 12 eggs...(fatty I know) and about 1 cup of milk/cream.
Turmeric is optional, but I like to sneak it in when possible. It gives the eggs a gorgeous yellow colour, it is mild in flavour and there are great health benefits from this beautiful root.
This dish is best served with some warm toasty bread - and best enjoyed when the weather is miserable.
With the weather we've been having I'm enjoying indulging Miss Four and giving in to her 'Special Eggy' requests a lot more often than not!

Mmm.
ReplyDeleteMarci you can make breakfast for me any time. I could never be bothered to put that much effort into scrambled eggs. But it's making me hungry!
