007 Scrambled Eggs
Posted December 4, 2006 – 12:13 pm in: Breakfast
If you’ve read any of the James Bond books by Ian Fleming, you’ll know that at least one chapter of the book is devoted to food. Whether preparing for a big night at the casino or learning of Blofeld’s plans to kill Bond and rule the world, good food was important. This is Ian Fleming’s recipe for scrambled eggs.
Ingredients:
12 fresh eggs
6 oz. butter
chives and/or fresh herbs
salt and pepper
Directions:
Break eggs into a bowl. Beat with fork and season with salt and pepper. In a small, heavy-bottomed pan, melt 4 oz. of the butter. Pour eggs and cook over very low heat, whisking with a small whisk.
When eggs are slightly moist and not quite how you’d want to eat them, remove pan from heat. Add remaining butter and continue whisking for 30 seconds, adding the herbs. Serve on hot buttered toast in individual copper dishes, with pink champagne. Serves 4.
