The Lady's Perfect Scrambled Eggs ( Paula Deen )

Connie K's Note:

This is from Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah, Georgia. My son prompted me on a quest for tender, perfect scrambled eggs, and this is the best I've found. I like my scrambled eggs firmly cooked, but these still stay tender. They are perfect!

Delicious, fluffy, slightly creamy scrambled eggs. I used greek yogurt, which is healthier than sour cream but still has the same consistency and tanginess. This is how I will make scrambled eggs from now on!

Never occured to me to add sour cream. This is a great egg dish!

I scaled this back for 2 of us and served with buttered wholemeal/wholegrain bread. To lighten it up a little I used 2 egg whites (mainly as they were left from another dish) and 2 whole eggs, light sour cream (1 tablespoon) and the water. I sprayed my pan with olive oil spray and put a teaspoon of butter to in to give the flavour and for the cheese I used a 1/4 cup which was a mix of vintage cheddar and a touch of parmesan. The DM and I thoroughly enjoyed thank you Connie K and Andi of Longmeadow Farm for her recommendation, made for I Recommend Tag Game.
