Simple right? Not! Scrambled eggs come in all shape and sizes and various degrees of tastiness. My number one mistake with making perfect scrambled eggs and trying to multi task while cooking them. If you want to make sure everyone loves your eggs save them for last and pay attention to them. Eggs do not have to be brown to be cooked throughout. Also play around with how you stir your eggs. The more you stir the smaller the pieces, so if you find yourself stirring a lot to avoid browning the eggsn lower your heat. You can add just about anything to this recipe to make a tasty scramble dish. Remember veggies and meat should be in the skillet before you add eggs, cheese should be added in the middle and salt and fresh herbs should be added at the end. Play around with this recipe and let me know what variations you tried and what tricks you come up with to make your eggs tasty. I hope you enjoy!

  2. SO- the one thing I learned about whisking is it should make a LOT of noise...if you aren't waking the neighbors you aren't doing it right...I suppose this could be said for other things too
