Calculation:
Per serving:
- Eggs 3
- Whole milk / cream 10 g
- Butter 5 g
- Salt 1 g
- For a richer version, add cooked diced tomato, diced onion, diced bacon, small cubes of cheese, etc. in the last step (anything that won't release more water)
- Use a flat (non-stick) pan.
- Since many people cooking for one only scramble one or two eggs, a smaller pan may make it easier to stir evenly.
