CRAB CAKE & EGG SCRAMBLE
I had a small little crab cake left from Recipe#250972 By Recipe Reader and wanted to do something different with it besides just re-heating it. So the cake, and a few other little ingredients became a very enjoyable breakfast. Unless you use the same recipe as I did for the Crab Cake, you may not get the same taste as I did. But everyone likes to put their own spin on recipes, so that's o.k. :) If desired, serve with your favorite bread or English muffin toasted. Posted to Food.com (a.k.a.

- Combine eggs, cream and salt in medium bowl.

- Add the chiles, bacon (if using), and egg mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally until eggs begin to set. Sprinkle cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over eggs. Cover, and continue to cook until eggs are set and fully cooked.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results. If you don't have fresh eggs, you can use older eggs, but they may not be as fluffy.
- Add milk or cream: Adding milk or cream to your eggs will make them richer and creamier. You can use any type of milk or cream, but whole milk or heavy cream will give you the richest flavor.
- Season your eggs: Salt and pepper are the basic seasonings for scrambled eggs, but you can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or herbs.
- Cook your eggs over medium heat: Cooking your eggs over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from overcooking.
- Stir your eggs frequently: Stirring your eggs frequently will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcook your eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook your eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Serve your eggs immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served immediately after they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give scrambled eggs a try!
