Eggs à la...Paris

I haven’t written for a while and I have a laundry list of excuses, but let’s just say, I’ve been busy and perhaps, uninspired.


After spending this weekend couch-ridden with a flu and infection, I had a bit of time in between feverish naps and movie watching, to do some of the other things I love, like write and draw.  


With my usual appetite returning this morning, I felt it necessary to make one of my favourite breakfast foods, inspired by Paris, a foreign film I watched last night.  This super easy version of scrambled eggs, which I discovered in Paris a couple of years ago, seemed to be a hit last weekend with my house guests (three hungry musicians who were on tour).

 

This isn’t a 'proper' recipe, but try it out your own way, and I promise it’ll add some exciting flavour to just plain old scrambled eggs.  


(The ingredients below serve two people; adjust accordingly for smaller/larger servings) 

Break 3-4 eggs in a bowl

Sprinkle garlic powder over the eggs

Sprinkle about a teaspoon of ‘herbes de Provence’ over the eggs

Add the cheese of your choice: 

Grate cheddar; slice Brie or goat Brie (without the rind); or break up herb/peppercorn goat cheese or feta

Add fresh ground sea salt and pepper (or regular salt and pepper)

Whisk eggs and ingredients together


Melt butter/margarine in a pan over medium heat, add the eggs and scramble away.  Serve with the sides of your choice.  My favourite sides: maple bacon and home fries.


Bon appétit!
