"This is from the Hamilton Bed and Breakfast Inn, and is their specialty recipe. I hope you enjoy! This recipe is Southern, using red onions and cheddar cheese. It's also made alot in the Northeast, where they make alot of cheddar cheese."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 4 eggs
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
• 1⁄8 - 1⁄4 cup red onion, chopped (or scallions, or fresh chives)
• 1 teaspoon heavy cream
• 1⁄4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• parsley (to garnish) or fresh chive blossoms (to garnish)

directions

1. In a mixing bowl break eggs and add salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add a level teaspoon of smooth Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Prepare some finely chopped red onions or scallions or fresh chives. Have ready a fine grater, cheese, heavy cream and sprigs of parsley or fresh chive flowers for garnish.
2. In a large heavy saucepan place a teaspoon of butter and set over very low heat. When the butter is melted swirl to coat the bottom of the pan and add the egg mix. Stir continuously with a wooden spatula. When the eggs start to firm up and just before they are ready, add the cream and continue stirring.
3. For the best flavor and texture the eggs must be cooked slowly and stirred continuously. The eggs are cooked when they are still moist but well formed. Spoon onto a warm serving dish and sprinkle with the chopped onions or chives. Finely grate the cheese over the eggs, garnish with sprigs of parsley or chive flowers and serve immediately. Enjoy!
4. Serves: 2.

I made this on the weekend and forgot to review. It was an easy,super, creamy, cheesy way of serving eggs.I didn't put any onions. I wanted to please my grand children;they loved it! Thanks for posting. Rita

Really tasty and the red onions were a great addition. I didn't have parsley to garnish so used scallions as well.

These were excellent, and I'm NOT a fan of scrambled eggs. I wasn't sure why the red onions were on there, but did as the recipe said. It added that "ooooompf" and was very nice. I will try the fresh chives this summer. This is absolutely a keeper for this non-egg fan.
