I've always been a crispy scrambled eggs person – I love when they get a bit of a golden brown crust on the bottom. But I've recently learned to appreciate the beauty of perfectly custard-y scrambled eggs. They're a bit decadent, and so delicate. On top of some buttered toast with a sprinkling of herbs, they make the perfect bite. The key to perfect custard scrambled eggs is a bit boring – time. You're cooking over a low heat, and continuously stirring, so it takes a bit longer to cook these eggs through than your usual high heat situation. But it's worth it. These are some damn good eggs.
