Scrambled eggs simply and very tasty crack three eggs into a bowl season and beat, knob of butter in heavy based pan and scramble away until all the liquidness just goes serve on hot buttered toast or bagel, yum.

I said this earlier
proper scrambled eggs are cooked in a bowl over boiling water. True story
Scrambled is fine but the other day I fancied trying to make Hollandaise sauce for the first time.
The result was almost heavenly - two poached eggs on toasted granary from a small bakery smothered in possibly the nicest hollandaise sauce I've ever tasted. All the eggs had been laid a couple of days earlier by our own hens 😀
The only problem is that our egg production is too low (yeah, thanks foxy b*****d) - so I'm off to pick up two more hens this evening.
Butter tip: only a teeny little smidgen in the pan/bowl at the start, whack some more in just as the eggs start to come together (i.e. a few seconds before serving / scooping / scraping).
Any tips on varieties of smoked salmon to accompany?
I was about to say that poached eggs are far, far superior anyway!
Mine gets done in the microwave :p
They should almost pour out of the pan if done by me!
Hotel I was in the other day served them just the way I like it too, result.

Shirley you have yours boiled, and 50 at a time?
OK - this is the deal, egg white starts to coagulate in the range 62-65 °C. At these temperatures it is the most heat sensitive protein, the ovotransferrin, which constitutes 12% of the egg white, which coagulates.
The major protein of egg white, ovalbumin, makes up 54% of the white and doesn’t coagulate until the temperature reaches 80 °C. The yolk begins to thicken around 65 °C and sets around 70 °C. In other words cook the egg to 70 °C and you should have perfect scrambled egg - not too runny and not too dry 😀
