French soft scrambled eggs

(from kintyre’s recipe box)

Delicious on their own, these scrambled eggs can also be spooned over toasted country-style bread and topped with grilled tomatoes and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Or spread soft goat cheese on slices of toast, top with the eggs and garnish with chopped green onions
