Feta turns scrambled eggs on toast extra creamy

Scrambled eggs on toast make for an ideal summer breakfast when you’re after something swift and satisfying that won’t weigh you down during the warmer months. While generally considered a straightforward dish to prepare, getting it wrong can result in eggs that are either burnt or disappointingly tasteless. Many people add milk to their scrambled eggs , believing it creates a richer, creamier consistency, but this actually introduces excess liquid to the dish. Rather than enhancing the flavour, it weakens the natural taste of the

eggs and leaves them watery, while the lactose in milk heats up more rapidly, frequently resulting in a burnt flavour. Fortunately, Tania Sheff, founder of Cooktoria , has a straightforward technique to elevate scrambled eggs on toast , and it simply involves adding some feta cheese. She said: “There is a secret ingredient that takes scrambled eggs from good to super tasty. It is feta cheese. Feta adds a wonderful texture and improves the taste of scrambled eggs. Of course, you’ll want to use good-quality

feta cheese.” Feta is a brined cheese, meaning it is immersed in saltwater to retain moisture, which enables it to lend a richness to scrambled eggs without compromising their texture or flavour in the way milk does. Salt is also known to heighten the taste buds, and incorporating feta cheese into scrambled eggs means its inherent saltiness works to intensify the natural flavour of the egg, producing a far richer result. Unlike other cheeses, it doesn’t melt completely but rather softens, making scrambled eggs wonderfully

creamy while keeping them delightfully tender throughout the cooking process. The result is scrambled eggs packed full of flavour, while retaining that velvety, custard-like consistency that pairs beautifully with crispy toast. Two slices of bread Two eggs 50g of feta cheese One tablespoon of butter Parsley or dill (to garnish) There’s no requirement to season this dish with salt, as feta is naturally quite salty in itself, though you’re welcome to add black pepper or any other preferred seasonings. Feta also works brilliantly alongside tomatoes,

spinach, avocado or even chilli flakes, should you wish to incorporate any additional toppings. Begin by spreading a thin coating of butter across both sides of the bread. Next, place a knob of butter into a frying pan set over a medium heat. Place the bread into the pan and fry for approximately two minutes on each side until it turns golden brown. If you’d rather, you can simply pop the bread in a toaster instead. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat until

frothy. Melt half a tablespoon of butter in the pan, pour in the beaten eggs and scatter the feta cheese over the top. Cook the scrambled eggs on a medium-low heat for three to four minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula until the feta is thoroughly combined and the eggs are completely cooked through. Transfer the toast onto a plate and distribute the scrambled eggs evenly across the slices. Garnish with parsley, dill, or your preferred seasonings. Your tasty scrambled eggs on toast are now

ready to enjoy.
