Today's blog is about one of the basic skills any cook should learn and master: Scrambling eggs.  Overall, eggs are simply indispensable for anyone on a budget and needing solid nutrition--they're cheap and packed with protein.

Add a few ingredients and combine them with toast or a tortilla, and, you have just guaranteed yourself a "solid start to your day".

Equipment:

10" or 12" non-stick skillet

Small bowl

Rubber spatula

Stovetop

Toaster or oven, if you want toast.

Ingredients:

2-3 eggs 

1 Tablespoon of milk 

Pinch of Salt & Pepper

1 teaspoon of butter

Optionals:

1-2 Tablespoons Reduced-Fat cream cheese

Instructions:

1. Wash your hands.

2. Crack two eggs into small bowl.

3. Add milk, salt & pepper.  Mix together.

4. Heat the skillet on MEDIUM--this is really important--MEDIUM.

5. Melt the butter and cover surface.

6. Add the egg mixture.  Let it stand briefly.
