    Slow cook them, then top with brown butter
    With a slice of truffle, or truffle oil.

    My wife and I do omlettes almost daily.. we add a tri-pepper mix from Publix that has green, red & yellow peppers. turkey sausage and Mrs. Dash. I think it's italian medley but not sure..

    i'm curious about the mustard idea.. sounds.. interesting!

    Franks hot sauce is all that is missing!

    It's good on everything!

    I love adding spinach, diced tomatoes, shallots and cheese to make a nice scramble.

    For some meaty additions, I add leftover turkey taco meat, some cheese and a little hot sauce.

    Great thread - I'm getting new ideas. I love eggs!

    Basically, anything.

    And this may sounds weird - but omelette with peach slices & a sprinkle of icing sugar on top is genuinely amazing.

    My fav is to fry couple strips of bacon, or use diced ham, then fry potatoes, adding onion, pepper and sometimes chopped asparagus to last few minutes before the potatoes are done. Then I add 2 eggs scrambled with almond milk and cook till just underdone, turn off burner, then throw in a handful of spinach, and halved grape tomatoes then stir until done and just wilted. You can season with any- garlic, Italian, chili powder, ranch season, ground mustard, tobacco, cayenne, chives, parsley...endless.

    I know what I'm making this weekend!

    Cauliflower, broccoli and lots of tapatio!!

    Wow, you are a cannibal then....lots of protein with your eggs....lol. But why did you go so far and add someone from Guadalajara to your eggs ? Just joking....apart from the fact that someone from Guadalajara is indeed called a " tapatio ".

    Easiest way to bump up eggs a little is to saute chopped peppers and onions then drop the eggs in. I use egg substitute instead of whole eggs and serve it whit two strips of bacon. This will only run you about 150 or so calories and tastes excellent.

    I'm also a big fan of spinach wilted in the pan before adding the eggs. I let this one cook on one side then flip it over to cook on the other. I think you call that a fritata.

    Bits of leftover meat are great, too.

    Here's one that's a little strange: Beat the eggs in a bowl, then make ramen soup and stir the eggs into the ramen soup broth before your add the noodles. Also, you can add some frozen vegetables to this for a really wonderful, quick and easy soup.

    You favorite hot sauce (may I suggest Frank's?) is always a welcome addition.

    Chuck in some smoked salmon. Delicious! :smile:


    I do this too. Totally yum.

    I tend to only add the veggies to omlettes. When having scrambled egg, i tend to have them with smoked salmon or i add a little low fat creme fraiche and a tsp of dijon mustard and pinch pepper to give them a real nice taste and it keeps them creamy too cos let's face it they can get bland.

    I like to add any combination of spinach, tomatoes, zucchini and mushrooms because they add volume without a lot of calories. Feta or gorgonzola are great for adding flavor, and you don't need that much! Red pepper flakes add a lot too

    Fill a Yorkshire pudding with chive scrambled eggs, lay a few slices of smoked salmon and nap with a home made hollandaise.

    The best scrambled eggs I had was in a sheperd's house. They were a huge family and the best dishes I served were there...may'be because they were always cooking such bulk amounts. on a lower scale here it goes:
    2 large eggs
    50g hard sheep's cheese/goat grated coarsely or crumbled
    50ml milk
    2 tbsp coarse cornmeal( dried polenta)
    2 tbsp chopped parsley
    2 tbsp chopped dill
    some black pepper.
    Usually it doesn't need salt because the cheese has plenty. cook on a low heat so the cornmeal has time to cook.
    Serve them on a slice of toast with pickles or ketchup.

    Otherwise, I throw spring onion finely chopped and feta cheese. I also love fritata because you can twist it to suit what you like. My family aren't really crazy about eggs, so I seldom make it but I have a thing about bell peppers, fresh mushrooms and cherry tomatoes in it. let's not forget you can also add pre-boiled potatoes, peas, green beans, asparagus.
    Best way is to experiment in the kitchen and find what you really like. But I warmly recommend the one with cornmeal, it's fab.

    When I'm bored with plain scrambled eggs I make breakfast tacos. Cook the scrambled eggs with chopped cilantro and you can add chopped green onion if you like. I eat them with low carb tortillas and salsa and guacamole. Sooooooo good. It ends up being around 450 calories.
