Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs with Thyme

Scrambling eggs is an art in itself, the key is to not overcomplicate it.
We have tried an array of different methods and combinations, including scrambling duck eggs which ended in an over whisked grey mound with a grainy consistency.  Not recommended.  This recipe keeps it simple.  The butter and thyme give the eggs a creamy aromatic flavour.  Dried thyme holds its flavour better than most herbs, working just as well if you don't have access to fresh thyme like we did.
These eggs make a great breakfast dish on their own or with a couple of rashers of crispy grilled bacon.
Fed 2.



Ingredients:
3 medium sized eggs
A dash of milk
A couple of sprigs of Thyme
Knob of butter
Salt and pepper

- Crack the eggs into the bowl, adding a dash of milk (about 4tbsp), salt and pepper and the thyme.

- Gently whisk the mixture for about 20-30 seconds until all combined.  

- Heat a large knob of butter in a frying pan on a moderate to low heat.  Once melted add the egg mixture and leave for about 20 seconds. 

- With a wooden spoon lift and fold the mixture from the bottom of the pan and leave for about 10-15 seconds, then stir again.  Repeat this process until the eggs are almost cooked through, as they will continue to cook for a couple more seconds after removed from the heat. 

- Serve however you wish, with a piece of toast or as part of a full english.
