Method

    1. Gently beat the eggs together with salt and pepper. Add 2 tbsps of milk to the eggs for a softer result.
    2. Spray some cooking spray in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. When sizzling, add the egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon.
    3. Continue to stir the eggs for 1-2 minutes, scraping the egg off the base of the pan as it sets.
    4. When most of the egg has set, remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir for 30 seconds until fully scrambled.
    5. Micro Tip: For extra speed scramble the eggs in the microwave.
    6. Beat together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a microwave safe jug or bowl. Cover with plastic food wrap and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes (650 watt oven)/1 minute 30 seconds (750 watt oven).
    7. Stir mixture and microwave for a further 30 seconds (for both 650 and 750 watt ovens). Stand for 30 seconds before serving.
    8. SMOKED SALMON SCRAMBLE: For luxury scrambled eggs add 2oz of chopped smoked salmon and 1tbsp of cream to the basic recipe.
