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.

Steps:
- Cut a plum tomato into wedges and cook in the butter for about a minute. Stir 1 tbsp of grated Parmesan into the eggs with the cream then add to the pan and scramble (see Bill Granger's perfect scrambled eggs for how best to do this). Spoon the eggs onto a serving plate. Scatter over a few torn basil leaves, some extra Parmesan and serve with toasted ciabatta on the side.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give the dish a more intense flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny.
- Serve the eggs immediately after they are cooked. This will prevent them from becoming dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs over fresh sliced tomatoes and basil is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and basil. The eggs are cooked until they are just set, and the tomatoes and basil add a fresh, flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
