Scrambled Eggs With Garlic Scapes

Submitted by Linky

"I bought some garlic scapes from an organic farmer at the local farmers' market this morning. He said to try them in scrambled eggs... Note: the scapes are tougher than they look, so when I made this again, I sauteed the chopped scapes for a few minutes before I added the eggs."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon butter or 1 teaspoon a spritz olive oil
• 3 -4 garlic scapes, sliced
• 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

directions

1. Beat eggs and water with a whisk or immersion blender until pale yellow.
2. Melt butter in medium skillet until foamy. If scapes are tough, add them now.
3. Add beaten eggs to skillet.
4. Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as eggs begin to form clumps,  turn the heat to low and start to fold the curds over on themselves.
5. Stir the sliced garlic ramps into eggs halfway through cooking (unless you already added them!).
6. Continue to push eggs around the skillet until they look fluffy and still runny on top.
7. Immediately divide between 2 plates and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
8. Let rest for a minute or two before serving.
