Ingredients
  

  • 3 Eggs

  • ½ Green Chilli cut finely into slices, optional
  • 1 tsp Creme Fraiche or Milk or Sour Cream
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 Chives sliced

Instructions
 

  • Crack Eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until the Eggs and whites are combined.
  • Preheat the pan and add Butter. 
  • Once it begins to melt add the Egg mixture and let it cook for a few seconds.
  • Add chilli flakes and chopped green chillies if using.
  • Use a rubber spatula to fold the Eggs from the sides of the pan and along the bottom to form large, soft curds of scrambled eggs.
  • Continue cooking and stirring the eggs every few seconds. Stop cooking when the eggs are almost set, but some liquid remains. 
  • Add creme fraiche or milk to stop the eggs from cooking and stir in. Remove from the heat.

Notes

Tips and FAQs

Use a nonstick pan and a silicone spatula 

This makes life easier. A silicone spatula helps to scramble and fold the eggs with ease.

Cook over Low Heat

Cooking Eggs at too high a heat results in bland, dry, rubbery eggs.

Remove from heat asap

Once the eggs are almost set, remove them from the heat.
They continue to cook after they are off the heat and will look slightly runny in places.

How to serve them

There are multiple ways to enjoy these Eggs. I like to add some Chives and have them:
On Toast
In a wrap
As part of a breakfast spread
As part of a breakfast burrito
In a Chapatti
On a bagel
With Avocado on Sourdough

Scrambled Egg with Chilli Variations

You can add multiple ingredients - such as herbs and spices to these Eggs. Here are some suggestions:
Herbs - such as chopped Coriander, Dill or Parsley can be stirred into the Eggs.
Spices  - such as Cumin, Garlic granules, Turmeric Powder can be whisked into the eggs.
Veg  - such as chopped Onions, Spinach or Tomatoes can be added to the Eggs to create a frittata.
Cheesy - add soft or grated cheese towards the end of the cooling time.
