Soemthing i saw on tv a while ago which i filed away for when one day i actually would wake up early enough to cook myself a hot breakfast. Since ive started polyphasic sleep i've tended to be quite hungry so a big breakfast is extremely satisfying, after soldiering through the midnight munchies.
Ingredients
1/2 onion
chunk of butter
3 eggs
2 dollops of cream
2 rashes of bacon
1. Preparing the egg mixture. Very uncomplicated, combine eggs cream and mix. Add a bit of salt and pepper to the mixture to taste.
You realised you just tasted raw eggs and cream, which is kinda gross. I actually dont add to taste, i add cos everyone does, and Gordon did as well.
2. Get two pans, one on high heat and one on medium heat. Throw the bacon bits on high heat with no oil (bacon makes its own greasy oil). Throw in butter and onions onto medium pan.
3. Onions should be "sweating" and not browning. After they've "sweated" for a while (3 minutes) Throw in the egg mixture and put the heat down a little. Gordon didn't do this, but who doesnt like onions?
4. Apparenlty Gordon reckons scrambled eggs is all about texture so whats important is to control the heat of the pan to make sure the eggs dont cook too quickly and get too solid. BLAH BLAH
I dont have "mhad fire skills", i just tend to mix vigourously while taking the pot on and off the pan in imitation of Gordon. I compensate for my lack of skills with throwing in a good load of parsley and a little bit of mint. I believe chives would be pretty good to, if you had it around.
Just keep mixing it until it gets to slightly less then the texture u want. Gordon reckons it'll cook a little as it sits, although generally it doesnt sit long enough over here for that to happen i think.
5. Bacon is probably done before the eggs unless you turned the heat down to try and get them both to finish at the same time. I suggest that you do that, just so you dont have cold bacon to go with your warm eggs.
7. Plate it (cracked pepper) and eat it, and goto work. Probably could go the extra mile and get bread, rub garlic on it, butter and toast it, without increasing your cooking time. Unfortunately we dont keep bread around the house.
I think i manage to do the whole thing in around 18 minutes, and ate it in around 2 =)

mmmm sounds soooo goooood. i haven't eaten yet either :P i'm cooking lately! i did some mad food, im so proud haha. i did lemon chicken with chilli, parsley and capers with mashed potato croquettes and also Parmesan chicken with mustard potatoes and rocket and roma tomato and olive salad yeeeaaah. cooking is mad fun. i totally rate it!
i want to try out bill granger's scrambled egg recipe too... and also maybe add some gruyere cheese and mustard, apparently that's pretty damn tasty. =D
now that was unexpected.. i didnt realise you were a reader jy =) cooking is awesome! especially if u love food =D ahaha. it seems your choice of cuisine is very unethnic =P
mmm.. ure even talking about things that i havent heard about, whats gruyere cheese? i'm a big fan of goat's cheese atm, kinda like feta but more intersting.
btw ure not getting anywhere near my eggs with ure mustard =D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruy%C3%A8re_(cheese)
wikipedia is everyone's friend! =P
your posts make me so hungry. i want to try cream based pasta sauces (based on your latest entry) but mums not a huge fan. found this jamie oliver recipe for chorizo carbonara that had me drooling. id really like to learn how to make a good carbonara so might try it out this week...
gruyere's really tasty, creamy and awesome in fondues and melts. try it if you can! i think it just adds really tasty cheese flavour.
and my mustard is awesome! mustard goes with everything haha. im throwing mustard at you when youre in sydney next just to prove it!
what do you use goats cheese with btw?
kinda sounds like Camembert.. ill try it and see.
u think mustard in scrambled eggs? i'll reluctantly try it =P it just doesnt seem to go with eggs ..
goat's cheese its like feta but better, in terms of its uniqueness. Very sharp? and slightly sour id say. Anythign with feta could be replaced with goat's chese so like salads =)
