CREAMY HERBED SCRAMBLED EGGS
This is a versatile recipe for scrambled eggs that I threw together trying to use up leftover low fat 'Laughing Cow' spreadable cheese wedges since I had run out of crackers. The flavored cheese gives it a wonderful taste and texture. Ingredients could be added to suit your tastes and what you have on hand.

- Cut the cheese wedges into small cubes.
- Once the eggs are a little more than half-way cooked through, add the parsley and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Keep a close eye on the eggs, gently stirring til cooked through. They should be solid, light and fluffy, but not dry.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs plus 1/4 cup of milk or cream until no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Over medium-low heat, melt butter in a large nonstick saute pan. Pour the eggs into a pan and using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs and cook over low heat. The eggs will turn creamy with soft curds. When the eggs have nearly lost the "raw look" toss in the marjoram, thyme, scallion, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper and stir to distribute. Once the eggs are no longer runny, but still very creamy and moist, immediately pour a little splash of milk (1 or 2 teaspoons) on the eggs to stop the cooking, and remove the eggs from the heat. Serve immediately with wedges of lemon as garnish and Green Salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard and the vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the green salad with the vinaigrette and serve.
HERBED-BAKED EGGS
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
- Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside. Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks. (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)
- Place 2 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked. (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.) The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
- Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

LUXURY SCRAMBLED EGGS
These eggs are wonderful. The cream cheese really provides a richness that makes them special. Slightly adapted from a recipe by Shellagh Connelly, as I like my eggs even more luxurious. :-)

Steps:
- Combine the chopped herbs. In a medium bowl use a fork to loosely combine the eggs and cream. Stir in cream cheese, the herbs, and a little salt and pepper. Eggs do not have to be completely uniform.
- In a 10-inch heavy non-stick skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the eggs and stir with a spatula for a few seconds.
- Lower heat to medium low and keep stirring, scraping up any egg sticking to the pan, for 3 minutes, or until large curds form. Eggs can be served almost wet, moist yet approaching firm (my preference), or quite firm.
- Serving suggestion: Serve hot, maybe with a salad of tart greens and orange sections for contrast.
CREAMY CHEESY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH BASIL
Sour cream makes these eggs rich and creamy and the basil adds a little kick of flavor. Sometimes I use pepperjack cheese and a little garlic and onion (powdered or fresh) for extra flavor.

Tips:
- For the creamiest eggs, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra richness.
- Fresh herbs are always best, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch. If using dried herbs, use about half the amount of fresh herbs called for in the recipe.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Scrambled eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Serve the eggs immediately with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, avocado, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Creamy herbed scrambled eggs are a delicious and versatile breakfast option. They can be served with a variety of toppings and sides, and they can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your eggs simple or loaded with toppings, this recipe is sure to please.
