Scrambled Eggs

There's no better way to start off your day than with plate of creamy silken scrambled eggs. You'll find many recipes but our method for the perfect scrambled eggs will never let you down.

Ingredients
3 organic or free range eggs per person
a knob of butter
a splash of cream
salt and pepper

Method
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a fork until they are well combined. In the meantime, heat a non-stick frying pan with a knob of butter over a medium-low heat. Season the eggs with salt and a touch of pepper.

Once the butter has melted as is frothy, add the eggs. It's important now to mix them too much. Using a wooden or rubber spatula, stir the eggs very gently until they begin to set edges. Cook the eggs the way you like to eat them, but we prefer what we call baveuse, which means still soft and runny.

When it reaches this, we turn off the heat, and add a little splash of cream. This stops the cooks process and and enriches the eggs. Serve as is, with toast or delicious accompanied with smoked salmon and freshly chopped chives.
