Company Scrambled Eggs

"The cream cheese and mayonnaise keep these eggs moist while the standing and scraping (as opposed to constant cooking) means they don't overcook. This makes for a special breakfast and a definite difference from ordinary scrambled eggs."

  • Combine the cream and goat cheese and one of the eggs in a food processor or a blender.
  • Blend well, then add one more egg and blend again.
  • Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the cream cheese mixture and the remaining six eggs.
  • Whisk in the mayonnaise, cayenne, nutmeg, basil and chives.
  • Warm a 10-inch (preferrably nonstick) skillet over medium heat.
  • Hold the pan away from the stove and spray with the cooking spray.
  • Add the butter to the pan and return to the heat, tilting to spread the butter over the pan.
  • Add the shallots and salt and sauté briefly.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let stand on medium heat about 30 seconds.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, let stand one minute, then gently scrape the curds from the sides and bottom of the pan.
  • Return the pan to the heat.
  • After about one minute, repeat the standing and scraping procedure.
  • Continue until the eggs are cooked almost to your liking.
  • They will continue to cook after removed from the heat.

  1. Hi ~Sackville~, sorry I forgot how to make the hearts! We had these eggs the other morning, testing it for "Cafe Ponce" our in-house formal dining room. They were awesome! We would have to make some changes though - sub parsley for the basil & use Italian seasoning. However, these eggs tasted wonderful! Thanks for posting. Diane :=)

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
