Send some over and I'll give 'em the once-over.

Can one send scrambled eggs as an e-mail attachment?

Don't be daft. You have to fax them.

OK. When I've cracked that one then I'll start work on getting a Chicken Achari with boiled rice and a side of Saag Alloo from the Tandoori Plaza in Heywood, nr Rochdale to Echizadour in the Haute Vienne and getting it there in edible condition.

It's only 800 miles, what could possibly go wrong?

Liz later enlightened me as to how they do it - apparently they use the steam nozzle on the coffee machine.  Ever seen this before?

Hhhmmm... I'm tempted to try coffee'n'eggs in the machine for Saturday breakfast lunch.

Nobody else mixes in a packet of smoked salmon scribbles and a little dill?

Ack.  Hell no.  Some chilli flakes, maybe.

Don't use cream or milk.  Scrambled eggs should just contain eggs, butter and seasoning.  Don't overbeat the eggs - you should still have sections of cooked white that are clearly distinguishable from the yolk.

Well, thank goodness at least one person knows how to make scrambled eggs! Reg, I'm coming round to yours for breakfast.

Confession - I do them in  the microwave. 20 second bursts stiring in between. Works fine. TRy to do them in one long burst and you get rubber though.
You are not alone.
I mix eggs, milk, salt and black pepper in a big mug, zap on full til mix starts to thicken, stir, zap a while again stir, zap till ready.

Scrambled eggs make me  :sick:

In fact, I have the above reaction to any type of egg that isn't hidden in a CAKE.  :P

'tis the only way.  And if they get slightly overcooked stir in a) some 0% fat yoghurt or b) Maille Dijonaisse  :thumbsup:

Slap it on a couple of slices of wholemeal toast and add a dash a hot chili sauce.   :P

Londonites: the cafe just a couple of doors along from Condor does the most fantastic scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, plus if you sit at the window you can see all the bikes arrive to visit the shop.

The best worst scrambled eggs are of course thrown together in a pot outside a tent. They don't taste the same indoors. anything like they should and it would be easier to have spent a little bit more and gone to an hotel where I would have also had a good nights sleep rather than lying on a thistle and waking everytime I heard a weird noise....oh, and the hotel would have had a full cooked breakfast, with toast and coffee and freshly squeezed juice.

I believe that is what is commonly known on the forum as having been fixed  ;)

And the winner is.....

Geoff.

Mind you, I add a touch salt whilst cooking and then pepper when it's on the plate.

Try also using more yolks than yolks and eggs (if you've been making meringues you'll have spare yolks) or scrambled duck eggs.

looks good (and I might try the cream sometime) - but I go for:

melt knob of butter in pan over gentle heat
add dash of milk to melted butter
crack eggs into pan
stir (with wooden spoon) whilst starting to set, and enough to distribute yolk thoroughly through mix
serve whilst on the edge of setting. (better under than over-done)

Add sea-salt and freshly-ground black pepper


That's the one, although I add cream in mine.
