Tarragon and chive egg scramble

This Tarragon and Chive Egg Scramble is a flavorful, herb-infused twist on traditional scrambled eggs. With the aromatic essence of tarragon and the fresh zest of chives, this dish is perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch. It's quick, easy, and sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

5 eggs
280g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 tbsp chives
3g
1 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
4.80g

Instructions:

1. Prep Your Ingredients:
- Crack the 5 eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Finely chop the chives and tarragon if you haven't already.

2. Whisk the Eggs:
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the eggs in the bowl.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are a uniform mixture. The more air you incorporate, the fluffier your scramble will be.
3. Heat the Butter:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Add the tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, spreading it evenly across the surface of the pan.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
- Let the eggs sit for a few moments, until they just begin to set around the edges.

5. Scramble Gently:
- Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue to do this occasionally, allowing the eggs to cook slowly and evenly.

6. Add Herbs:
- Just before the eggs are fully cooked (they should still look slightly runny), sprinkle the chopped chives and tarragon evenly over the eggs.
- Gently fold the herbs into the eggs until they are evenly distributed.
7. Finish Cooking:
- Continue cooking until the eggs are set to your desired doneness. Remember, scrambled eggs will continue to cook slightly even after you remove them from the heat, so it's best to take them off while they still look a bit wet.

8. Serve Immediately:
- Transfer your tarragon and chive egg scramble to a plate and serve while hot.

Tips:

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency.

- Heat the butter in the pan before adding the eggs to prevent sticking and to add richness to the dish.

- Stir the eggs gently and continuously for soft, creamy curds.

- Add the herbs towards the end of cooking to maintain their fresh flavor and vibrant color.

By following these steps and tips, you can create a delicious Tarragon and Chive Egg Scramble that's both simple and sophisticated. This dish brings out the best in everyday ingredients and elevates your breakfast experience with minimal effort.
