Steps:
- Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
- TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
- Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
- Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
- Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.

Steps:
- Whisk and season the eggs. Halve the buns. Peel and coarsely grate the onion, then put 1 tablespoon into a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and a splash of red wine vinegar, and leave to quickly pickle. Scatter the rest into a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and most of the garam masala. Fry for 3 minutes, stirring often, while you coarsely grate the tomatoes. Push the onions aside and pour in the tomatoes to sizzle for 2 minutes. As soon as they start to dry out, mix and fry for 2 more minutes, or until thick, stirring occasionally.
- Push the tomato chutney to one side, then toast the buns on both sides, wiping them around the pan to pick up any gnarly sticky bits. Spread the tomato chutney on the bun bases, tear off and pile on the coriander leaves, squash the lids on top, then remove to your plates. Scramble the eggs to your liking and spoon alongside, then top with the drained pickled onion and serve dusted with garam masala.

Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add the Tabasco, salt, basil, and pepper. Whisk just enough to combine; you should still see large bubbles. Set aside.
- Warm the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onion and sauté until soft but not beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and continue cooking until uniformly brown, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Cover with the spinach, place a lid over the mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts. (If using frozen spinach, cook, covered, for 1 minute, just to take off its raw edge.)
- Stir the spinach into the meat, cooking briefly to eliminate excess liquid if the mixture seems watery. Pour the egg mixture over all, stirring with a spatula from the bottom until the eggs begin to set. Remove from the heat and stir a few more times, as the eggs cook through from the residual heat. Serve immediately.
MARTHA'S SCRAMBLED EGGS
This is how Martha makes scrambled eggs so you know it's going to be good. First, preparation is everything. Before you even start to scramble, toast and butter the English muffins and pop them in a warm oven on the plates you'll serve breakfast on. The eggs are cooked in clarified butter, they turn out soft, moist, and slide easily out of the pan.

Tips for Making the Best Scrambled Eggs
