CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CAVIAR RECIPE
Last night I went through 72 eggs worth of scrambled eggs doing some recipe research. Of course, the great thing about developing recipes for a living is that when the clock strikes 2 a.m. and you realize you haven't eaten all night, the solution is usually right in front of you. But what to pair with that final batch of ultra-rich and creamy eggs? Most people don't think caviar when searching for a midnight snack, but why not?

Steps:
- Whisk together eggs and salt in medium bowl. Melt butter in 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring continuously until they begin to set around the edges, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook, gently stirring and scraping constantly until eggs are thick enough that the spatula leaves a trail in the bottom, about 1 minute longer. Continue to cook, stirring more vigorously to prevent eggs from forming large curds until eggs are just barely set and no liquid remains. Add heavy cream, stir to combine, and transfer eggs to serving plate.
- Serve eggs immediately with toast, passing caviar, sour cream, and red onions at the table.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in small pan and pour in eggs. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the eggs constantly, lifting up as they start to cook to keep the uncooked eggs on the bottom of the pan. This process takes much patience and a lot more time than regular scrambled eggs. Keep stirring until eggs, finally start to thicken and become creamy in texture. You should not be able to discern any big pieces, just one homogenous mixture. When eggs are cooked, but still creamy, stir in 2 more tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. While eggs are finishing, melt the teaspoon of butter in another pan and gently warm up the crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper and mix in the chives. Divide the eggs among 4 ramekins, egg shells or toast points and top with the warm crabmeat. This dish is even more heavenly with the addition of minced or shaved truffles. Or substitute wild mushroom for the crabmeat.;
- WILD MUSHROOMS:
- Saute mushrooms lightly in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over eggs.;
SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CAVIAR IN EGGSHELL CUPS
Steps:
- Prepare eggshell cups Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Hold a large egg in one hand, tapered end up. Place an egg topper (a special tool for neatly snipping off the tip of the shell) over the top and squeeze, using a scissor motion. Discard top of egg. Pour egg into a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining eggs. Boil shells for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack. Let dry, cut sides down.
- Prepare eggs Scramble eggs, using the butter and a large skillet. Transfer eggs to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain round tip (wrap bag with a kitchen towel if necessary, as eggs will be very hot). Pipe eggs into shells. Transfer shells to egg cups. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream, if desired. Top with caviar.
OEUFS BROUILLES A LA MICHEL GUERARD (FRENCH SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CAVIAR)
Steps:
- With a serrated knife, cut each egg shell about 1/2-inch from the pointed end. Empty the raw eggs into a bowl and reserve. Wash the egg shells (tops and bottoms) in warm water, then turn them upside down on a towel to dry completely.
- Over very low heat melt the butter in a saucepan just large enough to hold the eggs. Beat the eggs with a whisk, pour through a sieve into the warm butter, and return to the very low heat. Beat constantly with the whisk, gradually increasing the heat, until the eggs are thick and creamy, not solid.
- Remove the eggs immediately from the heat and continue whisking while adding the cream, shallots, chives, salt and pepper.
- Place the dried eggshells in egg cups. Using a teaspoon, carefully fill each shell 3/4 full with the creamed eggs, then finish filling each shell with 1 tablespoon of caviar. The caviar should be slightly domed on top. Place the little top of each shell on the caviar. Serve with toast.
SCRAMBLED EGGS FRAICHE
This is a wonderful, slightly creamy egg dish. The chopped parsley gives it tons of great color! If you can't find creme fraiche in your grocery store, just combine 1 tablespoon of buttermilk with 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir together and pour into a jar. Very lightly screw the lid on and let sit for 5 to 8 hours. This it can be refrigerated for 10 to 14 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes, trimming them to make each as smooth and oval as an egg. As the potatoes are prepared, drop each into cold water to cover to prevent discoloration. Cut off a small slice from the top and bottom of each ''egg.'' Reserve four of the cut-off slices. Using a melon-ball cutter, start at one end of each potato and scoop out the inner flesh to make a cavity for filling with scrambled eggs. The outer and bottom of each shell should be about a quarter-inch thick.
- Melt one tablespoon of butter in a heat-proof saucepan and arrange the potatoes hollowed-out side up in the saucepan. Arrange the four reserved cut-off pieces around the potatoes. Sprinkle the inside of each potato with salt. Add one-half teaspoon of butter to the center of each potato. Spoon one tablespoon of broth inside each potato. Pour the remaining four tablespoons of broth around the potatoes.
- Cover closely with foil and place in the oven. Bake about 35 minutes. As the potatoes cook, test them often by piercing them with a small pointer. When ready, the potatoes should be tender, but not overcooked, or they may collapse.
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl. There should be about one cup. Add salt and pepper to taste and beat thoroughly.
- Heat the remaining two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and cook over very low heat or, preferably, on a metal flame guard. Add the eggs and cook, stirring briskly with a wire whisk, about five minutes, or until they have the consistency of a thick custard. Off the heat, beat in the cream and the chives.
- Meanwhile, drain the liquid from the potatoes into a saucepan. Bring the liquid to the boil and cook until reduced to about two tablespoons. Brush the outside of the potatoes with this buttery liquid.
- Arrange each potato on a small serving dish and use a small spoon to fill the cavities of each with an equal portion of the scrambled eggs. Garnish each serving with a topping of one teaspoon of caviar or with three chive stems inserted into the eggs. Arrange the reserved cut-off portions on the plate or neatly place them on top.

Steps:
- Holding 1 egg narrow end up, remove top half inch of shell with egg topper or knife and discard. Pour egg into a bowl and reserve shell. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Rinse eggshells gently in water, then submerge in a 2-quart saucepan of water and bring to a boil, covered. Remove from heat, leaving shells in water to keep warm.
- While shells come to a boil, add cream to eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a double boiler or in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, then cook egg mixture, gently whisking constantly, until the consistency of pudding (thick enough to mound), 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in salt, pepper, and remaining tablespoon butter. Transfer to a 2-cup glass measure and keep warm, covered.
- Toast bread and cut into long 1/2-inch-thick sticks.
- While bread toasts, drain eggshells upside down on paper towels.
- Put shells in eggcups, then pour egg mixture into shells, guiding flow with a small spoon. (Alternatively, put shells in an empty egg carton to stabilize while filling, then wipe shells clean before transferring to eggcups.) Spoon some caviar on top of each and serve with toast fingers.
