How do you like your eggs? sunny side up? omelet? scrambled? I like my eggs scrambled but not just scrambled, I like my eggs scrambled Trini style. Similar to seasoning meat, I like to add fresh herbs and cheese all mixed up into one mishmash of exotic flavour.
Now I have been frying eggs for a while and have learnt a few things along the way. One of which is frying eggs over a low flame. Other than not burning your eggs, somehow, especially with this recipe, the ingredients get time to permeate through the eggs. Actually, I discovered this by accident one time and ever since I have been using this method, unless I'm in a hurry!
Adding the cheese came a little later which I learnt from my wife but the way she did it gave the cheese more of a grilled taste and appearance( which tastes great also). The slow cooking method I use works great for the cheese, giving it time to melt.
To me this is a complete meal and if you're on a low carb, high protein diet ( like I'm on these days) this recipe makes a great breakfast or dinner meal by itself. In fact I read in a book that we're supposed to eat most of our proteins in the evening time but that's another story if you're interested. Are you?
Again, I'm talking too much. So if you're in the mood for some some scrambled eggs try making it trinistyle and tell me what you think.
