Challenge #5: Eggs: "Healthy" Scrambled Eggs

[miss_s_b]

This is how my brain works: eggs are great for protein, but they are also bad for hearty/circulationy things because of their high nasty fat content. How can I make them better? I know! GARLIC!

Garlic Scrambled Eggs

Meal: Breakfast
Serves: One
Fatteningness: lots

Ingredients

• Two eggs
• Butter
• One clove of garlic*
• Black pepper
• Something to serve the eggs on - toast is traditional, but I used potato waffles

Method

• Finely (very finely) chop or crush the garlic
• Slowly heat the butter in a saucepan; when it's stopped frothing add the garlic and take it off the heat so it cooks out really slowly
• Put your bread/waffles in the toaster.
• Break your eggs directly into the pan, put the pan back on the heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon
• Grind the pepper into the cooking eggs
• Keep stirring
• Remove the pan from the heat about 30 seconds before the eggs are cooked; you don't want them overdone and they keep cooking in the pan.
• Plate up your toast/waffles and put the eggs on top
• Eat
• Enjoy breathing all over your collegues all day
• Enjoy farting eggy AND garlicky farts all night

* anybody who thinks I would ACTUALLY use a mere one clove of garlic in this has never met me. I generally use at least 3. At least.

Yeah, I kind of knew that the German thing for Sausages is like the Yorkshire thing for pies (someone round here was making a pork pie pie last year...)

I like things like peppered salami, stuff like that. Things that come in Tesco's German Sausage selection. Whereas James got the Spanish meats selection the other day and it has two types of chorizo and a mild garlic sausage that seems EXACTLY like the mild garlic sausage in the German pack to me...

I'm not sure what it is about the texture of chorizo I don't like, but there's something that makes me feel faintly nauseous; it's odd because I normally love things with paprika and garlic in.

A pie in a pie? Like a turducken? ;o)

Make a giant pie crust.
Fill with mini Melton Mowbrays. Pack around them with extra sausagemeat.

Yeah, I'll give it a go.

Hah! Won't the individual pies get soggy?

You might have a point. I've got a better idea: pork pie cake.
