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.

For a less healthy (and less vegetarian) alternative, slice some cooking chorizo, fry them in the pan on gentle heat until crispy and the lovely red fat has rendered, and then scramble the eggs in that fat using the above method. :o)

Pfft, the fat/cholesterol in eggs is the good kind of cholesterol. ;)

Like bacon, everything's better with garlic!

You and garlic really are sitting in a tree, aren't you?

I am totally trying this as soon as I get chance, with the possible exception of your last step.
