I made this yesterday for breakfast, I only used 3 eggs, only making for 2. It was a different twist to scrambled eggs. We enjoyed this very much. I will be making this again.

Nice version of scrambled eggs - Instead of heavy cream I used some cottage cheese. I cut the recipe back to 2 eggs with no problem. Served with toast and some leftover refried black beans Enjoyed ny brunch thanks eve witch
