Notes

Scrambled fluffy Eggs with Cheese - Simple Tips

Be gentle
Gently push and fold the eggs over medium low heat, rather then whisk vigorously.
This will give you the best texture and will create soft curds.
Cook over medium low heat
Keep the heat at medium low to cook the eggs gently, keep them creamy and make sure they don't dry out.
Use a smaller pot or small frying pan
This is so you don't have to push the eggs around too much.  Use a Non stick pot/nonstick skillet or pan for ease.
Use a Rubber spatula
A flexible spatula makes it easier to fold soft folds and move the eggs around gently.
Use salted Butter
Butter and eggs = YUM. It also stops the eggs from sticking to the pan.  
Use the best Eggs you can - I love Clarence Court/St Ewe or Farm Eggs.

How to serve

Serve hot with Toast, in a Wrap or Chapatti.
Serve with a hot cup of Tea or Chai.

Variations

Creme Fraiche
If you don't have Creme Fraiche, stir in the same quantity of Double Cream or add Milk into the pot with the Eggs.
Use a different Cheese
Red Leicester is a great choice. Monterey Jack is great too. I would not recommend anything too strong like Parmesan Cheese.
Some people like to add American Cheese on top and then stir it through but I haven't tried this myeself.
The amount of Cheese you use, is entirely up to you!
Add some heat
Try Red Chilli Flakes, Cayenne Pepper or add a little Sriracha sauce on top.

Storage and Reheating

Scrambled Eggs are best eaten fresh. However if you do have any leftovers, store in the fridge in a airtight container for up to 24 hours.
Reheat in the microwave for 1 - 2 minutes till the Eggs are warmed all the way through.
