For crêpes
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the scramble. Look for fresh, organic eggs, sharp cheese, and peppery watercress.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Eggs are best when they're cooked until just set. If you overcook them, they'll become tough and rubbery.

  • Serve the scramble immediately: Scrambled eggs are best when they're served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can reheat them gently in a microwave or over low heat on the stovetop.
