Scrambled, which I like with black pepper sprinkled on top off. Which is delicious on multigrain toasted bread.

An egg is the ultimate convenience food – I’m lucky enough to have friend who keeps 2 chickens and frequently provides me with fresh home produce. My favourite way is omelette with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes. IIf I do say so myself I make a mean omelette lol

Chocolatey with sweet creme eggy goo inside 🙂
bani December 3, 2013

If I say “in pancakes”, is that cheating? Otherwise the only eggs I sometimes really crave are scrambled eggs, preferably on toast for that kick of nostalgia. Salt and butter obviously too – good stuff.

I’m not a huge eggs-on-their-own fan, but a recent discovery is ‘banana scramble’ – eggs mixed with mashed bananas, ground almonds, cinnamon and vanilla essence – and scrambled just like scrambled eggs. Sweet, but good with bacon.
