Method

  1. Cut a plum tomato into wedges and cook in the butter for about a minute. Stir 1 tbsp of grated Parmesan into the eggs with the cream then add to the pan and scramble (see Bill Granger's Perfect scrambled eggs for how best to do this). Spoon the eggs onto a serving plate. Scatter over a few torn basil leaves, some extra Parmesan and serve with toasted ciabatta on the side.

    I had to make this recipie with milk instead of cream,I also used baby plum toms but despite these minor changes the scrambled eggs were really nice the torn basil really adds to the final flavour.Great idea if you fancy a change from plain old scrambled egg for breakfast or lunch.

    Really tasty, the tomatoes and basil gave a real burst of flavour to the eggs. I added a pinch of paprika to the egg mixture and sprinkled some torn parma ham on top. Yummy sunday brunch!
