Scrambled Eggs With Flavor

Chef #357640 Mapleleaf 60's Note:

Scrambled eggs made this way is more of comfort food, the addition of fresh cilantro and flavorful fragant green chilli makes it a Sunday Brunch favorite Or as a side dish for a light evening meal , also good for those just getting over a fever, cold as it helps kick start the tastebuds again! I go all the way and make it with Butter- Note do not let the eggs get hard or dry by overcooking them. These can be served with Hot toast. Or as a filling in for a wholewheat wrap e.g. a tortilla or Indian flat bread cook the eggs a little more

• Total Time: 16 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 4 large eggs
• 1 -2 medium green chilies , chopped fine (the larger the chilli the less heat)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cooking oil
• ½ cup fresh cilantro , chopped
• salt , to taste (if using salted butter use less salt)

Directions:

1. In a bowl add eggs, salt, water and beat till whites and yolks are well blended. Fold in the chopped Cilantro & chillis.
2. In a skillet on medium heat add oil & butter till melted-- add the egg mixture, let the eggs cook and keep mixing with a slow movement till egg mixture takes shape ,keep folding, lightly stirring till mixture is not runny. Switch off the heat. The cooked eggs should have a sheen on the surface and should slip off easily from the skillet without sticking.
3. SERVE with hot toast no need to butter the toast.
4. Use it as a filling with a tortilla but you will have to cook the eggs a minute more.

This was a delightful brunch egg recipe - I love cilantro so used lots. I cut the recipe back to 2 eggs(1 serving). Used 1 large Jalapeno. Will make again 5 Dec 2010 Made again and enjoyed just as much

We had this for brunch today with Hearty Breakfast. We don't like cilantro, so I used basil instead, but it was still great. Enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
