super easy

In 2021, I decided to celebrate my birthday in Paternoster on the Cape West Coast for a unique South

African culinary experience. Although the guest house we booked into appeared quite average on the

surface, the host caretaker, Thandi, made breakfast for us with a scrambled egg that was by far the best

I have ever tasted. Simple, delicious and moreish. Perhaps it was the fresh sea air, but the rest of the

trip didn’t disappoint either!

Adjust Servings

	3 large eggs

2.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium, non-stick pan over a medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, add the egg mixture. Using a spatula, pull the cooked outer edges towards the centre. Keep moving the spatula in this way until there is no runny egg left (this will take 2–3 minutes). Quickly turn off the heat and mix in the remaining butter. Transfer the eggs from the pan to a plate.

3.

Season with salt and pepper, and top with the crème fraîche. Garnish as desired.

Notes

Keep the heat on low to medium to ensure the eggs don’t burn. If you prefer your eggs well cooked, leave them in the pan a little longer.
