Sounds silly, but very nice.

• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons cream
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon butter
• extra butter

Directions:

1. Whisk all ingredients except butter together, then add the butter in small knobs at the end of whisking.
2. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan when it becomes a light brown colour add the egg mixture, cooking it at a high heat for the first few seconds while the curds firm.
3. Then turn the heat down low and cook gently and very slowly, folding the egg mixture over until it starts to set but is still very slippery.
4. Take off the heat and allow to set in the pan and serve while hot.
5. Serve immediately with a sprig of parsley.
6. Note ~ It will cook while left in the pan, so be ready to serve immediately, and serve with a sprig of parsley or chopped chives on top.

Very unusual flavour which I found a little sweet but the DM thoroughly enjoyed. I scaled it back to use 4 eggs and this was plenty for the DM and I. Thank you Tisme, made for Make My Recipe - Spring Edition.

Scrambled Eggs and Orange Zest...hmmmm...I wasn't sure how these flavors were going to be together. It took a few bites for me to decide that I enjoyed the uniqueness of these flavors. It's not something I would have on a regular basis, but it is a nice change of pace. Made for June, 2009 Aussie/NZ Swap.

Wonderful flavored eggs! I enjoyed having the orange zest in the eggs. Next time I think I'll add more zest and maybe some herbs. Thanks for this recipe, Tisme! Prepared as a participant in the April 2009 Aus/NZ Swap #27 Event.
