Can I tell you something? I know the secret to perfect scrambled eggs. No, don't laugh! I do, really! And guess what. It's not creme. Or water. Or herbs.
It's half a teaspoon of dijon mustard. Yeup, just half a teaspoon. That and some Tabasco sauce. Just 5 dashes. That part is optional, but I really love tabasco.
Yeah, right there. Thats the secret. Guess it's not much of a secret anymore, huh? Way to go, Craig. Just tell the whole internets...
It is completely amazing how this tiny amount of mustard, almost enough that you don't really even taste mustard, is the secret to the best eggs ever.
And tabasco. God, I love that stuff. So tangy, and spicy. Its like a spicy ninja in your eggs. But, if you don't like ninja's, just leave that part out.
The other thing you do for good eggs? You cook them over a very low flame. So low that when you melt the butter into the pan, it does't brown. And when you pour the eggs in, they don't immediately start to scramble.
Wanna know the trick to really super fluffy eggs? Low flame, and just keep stirring.
And keep stirring...
Slowly, but surely, the eggs will start to come together.
Just have patience.
Also, use a wooden spoon. It helps form a nice looking scramble.
Presto! Look at those perfect, fluffy, delicious eggs!
Serve em up with some pan-fried hash browns, and an awesome orange that you picked off of your friends tree at his country house. Yeah, cause you can do that in Australia in the winter.
Enjoy your eggs! Also, make sure that orange you just picked doesn't start to roll off the table as you are taking pictures of your awesome breakfast.

Perfect Scrambled Eggs
What you need:
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
- 5 dashes of Tabasco Sauce (optional)
- salt & pepper
- butter
In a medium mixing bowl, crack open the 4 eggs. Add the mustard and the Tabasco (if using). Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. Whisk together.
Over a VERY low flame (I use the lowest setting on my gas stovetop) melt some butter. Pour in the eggs, and begin to stir, very slowly. Continue to stir until the eggs are scrambled, but not dry. You want a little moisture to them. Enjoy!

The perfect start to the work week. Yum!
You are a lucky, lucky man, JP. Not everyone gets to start their work week this way! I expect rewards for my great efforts! I accept payments in the form of gin. Or sweets. But mostly gin.
Yes, finally the secret to scrambled eggs! That sounds delish. I definitely didn't know the hints about low flame or wooden spoons either, so muchas gracias.
