Perfect scrambled eggs

We love eggs - they're great for a leisurely weekend brunch yet fast enough to scramble on a weekday morning for a protein boost.

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs

  • 2 tbsp milk, water or light sour cream

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, Dijon and salt. Using a fork or whisk, beat just until evenly mixed. If using sour cream, it will not evenly mix in.

  • Set a large frying pan, preferably non-stick, over medium heat. When hot, add butter. Swirl in pan to coat bottom and side. Then pour in egg mixture.

  • Using a wide heatproof spatula, gently and constantly scrape along bottom of pan, pushing eggs from side to side and scraping around edge as well. You want soft large curds. This will take 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Then gently stir in additions, if you wish.
