Patricio’s Scrambled Eggs

-

Serves 4

Ingredients

6 - 8 Large Eggs

200 Ml Semi Skimmed milk (or single cream)

Pinch of Sea salt

Pinch of Black Pepper

A large knob of butter

Preparation

 Put saucepan on the heat, medium setting

Place the eggs in a bowl add the milk or cream

add the salt (not the pepper) whisk together until yellow through.

Cooking

 Melt the butter in the saucepan
when the butter is almost melted pour in the egg mixture

 stir gently with a wooden spoon taking the egg from the side and bottom of the saucepan only,  not allowing it to settle (it may burn if you leave it) keep stirring the egg gently around as a whole until the scrambled egg is done.

Serve on toast on its own or with bacon

 sprinkle salt and then the black pepper.
 (I love my scrambled egg as a soft but firm mass, not bits, hence using a wooden spoon and not a whisk)
