I really enjoyed these tender, subtley flavored scrambled eggs. They were so good, perfectly cooked, beautiful texture, they melted in your mouth. I love the addition of the orange zest, I did add a little sea salt, personal preference only. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely recipe, It made for a wonderful lunch served with portugese toasted bread. I have already made this several times.

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.

I'm a fan of zest (among other things) so was intrigued with this recipe! Very simple to make, & with an interesting taste! I was generous with the zest, & another time I'll add just a dash of lemon pepper perhaps! Definitely worth making again! Thanks for the recipe!
