Sublime Scrambled Eggs
6 large free-range eggs3 tbs ice-cold butter diced
1-2 tbsp creme fraiche(you can substitute with sour cream)
Freshly ground sea salt and pepper(use regular salt if you need to)
Few chives,snipped (substitute with green onion if necessary)
2-3 chunky slices of rustic bread to serve(such aspain Polaine,Fresh French Bread)
Preparation
1. Bread the eggs into a cold ,heavy-based pan,add half butter ,and place onto the stove over generous heat.Using a spatula ,stir the eggs frequently to combine the yolks with the whites.
2. As the mixture begins to set,add the remaining butter. The eggs will take about 4-5 minutes to scramble ,they should still be soft and quite lumpy.Don't let them get too hot--keep moving the pan off and back on the heat.
3. Meanwhile ,toast the bread.
4. Add the creme fraiche and season the eggs at the last minute ,then add the snipped chives.Put the toast on warm plates, pile the softly scrambled eggs on top and serve immediately.
Bon appetite....
