When I woke up this morning I fancied eggs. In all honesty I always fancy eggs. They’re one of the most versatile, tasty and (occasionally) healthiest foods on the planet. So here is recipe number one, my oozy scrambled eggs on malty wholegrain toast with fresh watercress and spring onions, just for a bit of a kick.

Ingredients.

• 3 eggs
• 50ml double cream
• a pinch of salt
• a pinch of pepper
• a pinch of sweet smoked paprika
• a splash of olive oil
• a little butter for the pan
• a slice of buttered wholegrain toast
• a handful of watercress
• and a big pinch of chopped spring onions.

Let’s get cracking, shall we?

First off, make sure your plate, toast, cup of tea and newspaper are ready to go, cause as soon as the eggs go into the searing hot pan, they take a matter of seconds, you guys don’t have time to be messing around after the eggs start their magic.

Next, we need to get the eggs, cream, salt, pepper and paprika into a bowl, but don’t whisk them in any way and be careful not to break the yolks. Have your saucepan heating on the hob with your olive oil and butter, The oil is there to stop the butter burning, the fat content is so high it’ll take a matter of minutes for it to become a bubbling brown mess. Once your butter has dissolved and is starting to bubble, pour in the egg mix carefully. Let the eggs sit for a few seconds to form a skin around the side and bottom of the pan. Next, start to carefully and slowly stir the eggs in a figure of 8, avoiding the yolks and scraping round the sides to make sure the eggs don’t catch. When they are almost done, turn off the heat. They’ll continue to cook, but you don’t want to end up with dry eggs falling off your fork. Carefully scrape the eggs onto your toast, making sure the yolks are intact. I know I say ‘carefully’ a lot, but trust me, the extra care now means beautiful orange yolk all over the plate later. Top your eggs with a twist of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then your watercress and finally your onions. Now take a picture for Instagram if you have to, and enjoy!
