Scrambled eggs are more delicious when you add one common herb

Scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple, but they can be a little boring.

Ingredients
  • Two eggs
  • One tbsp butter
  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Method
  1. Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk them together.
  2. Melt your butter in a non-stick pan over a medium heat.
  3. Add your eggs to the pan and stir continuously until a soft scramble forms.
  4. Add your chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
  5. Serve over fresh toast and enjoy.

Few things surpass scrambled eggs for breakfast. They're swift and straightforward to prepare, and complement a full English wonderfully or simply work on toast for an uncomplicated meal.

Nevertheless, eggs alone can feel somewhat uninspiring. Fortunately, given their simplicity, it's easy to elevate them.

You can incorporate ingredients like cheese, cream or even vegetables to transform your standard scrambled eggs from satisfactory to exceptional.

My personal go-to addition for morning scrambled eggs is an extremely common, and remarkably inexpensive herb.

Parsley brings a delightful freshness to eggs and accentuates their savoury character.

It's incredibly simple to include and transforms an affordable easy breakfast into something resembling restaurant-quality brunch.

Another advantage of using parsley is its excellent freezing properties. Unlike herbs such as basil, parsley doesn't deteriorate when frozen.

All that's required is chopping it finely and placing it into a small container or ziplock bag for freezing.

You can incorporate it into your eggs directly from frozen - it tastes identical and represents an excellent method for using surplus parsley.
