.....this takes the cake!!

Wanted a change with Scrambled Eggs - decided not to be adventurous, but just try the Luxury method.

As usual, put everything into the pan - Eggs (NOT beaten, just stirred), Milk, Butter, S&P - heat gently until just thickening & then put in bottom oven (AGA) for 5-10 mins.

By the time I had considered doing that, the Eggs were perfectly set in the pan!!

Next bright idea??

 ;D

sucker for trying   :-*

actually I wonder what would have happened if you'd just stirred it all briskly and put them in the Aga without cooking on the top of the stove first - doubt you'll be trying again though

luxury scrambled eggs to me is added garlic, paprika, chives and maybe a bit of cream

did you eat them

[tim]

Eat? Indeed - they were perfect, without another 5-10 min!!

AGA? That'd be an omelette?

Garlic etc? More what I'd thought of in the first place.

luxury? with smoked salmon. Wasn't it like rubber after 10mins in the oven?

[tim]

It never got near the oven!! In other words, it was done exactly as I normally do it - plain & simple.

Smoked Salmon? Yes.

My ex-husband liked to poach/bake eggs in the microwave!

I had to pretend i liked them :P

I don't anymore.....need to pretend to like them I mean!

Oy Kea, I do perfect poached eggs in the microwave! In fact, we call it the egg poacher!

teehee Tim....so whose bright idea was that, then?

Scrambled egg & smoked salmon...luxury? hmm, sort of, but a couple of weeks ago had breakfast in the VIP lounge of the airline I was travelling on...scrambled eggs with smoked salmon topped with a sprinkle of caviar? Now that's luxury. And the accompanying Bloody Mary was good, too 8)

Scrambled egg with fresh minced chilli and finely chopped onion is a staple here to kick-start the day :)

fresh minced chilli in the Bloody Mary makes that a Scary Mary  ;D

Nice thought, Lishka, but pie in the sky for us mortals!

Did have some wonderful orange caviar that a Russian friend brought over - 'spose that was Salmon? Some Salmon!

yes the red is from the salmon roe - beluga = £400 for 100g - worth putting on the birthday wishlist - I'll buy you the toast to go with it  ;D

Beluga caviar is black, it's the roe of sturgeon not salmon.  Salmon roe is indeed red.

yes I know, was just giving the price comparison

[Fork]

It doesnt matter what price it is........awful stuff  :(

[tim]

Tip yours into a doggie bag & pass it this way!

I'm going to put in a plug here for my husband who's offered to make his wonderful omelettes for lunch and they are so good they don't need a topping.

 ;D

The other good thing is that someone else cooks.......most women will be guessing what the down side is so i don't need to say.
