INGREDIENTS

For the Scrambled Eggs

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • dash of double cream or milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp Crispy Chilli Oil, we use, Blue Nile Foods Laoganma

 For the Fried Eggs

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp Crispy Chilli Oil
  • 1 or 2 eggs per pan, depending on size

To Garnish

  • few slices of spring onion
  • few fresh coriander leaves

Method

  1. Set up your Big Green Egg for a direct cook at 200°C.
  2. Pop in your stainless steel griddle, followed by a frying pan.

For the Scrambled Eggs

  1. Once the pan is hot, add the veg oil and the crispy chilli oil.
  2. Beat two eggs together, add a dash of cream or milk and some black pepper.  Mix well.
  3. Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mix into the pan.
  4. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are just cooked through.  We like our scrambled eggs to be very soft.  Cook them longer to your preferred consistency.
  5. Remove from the pan.

For the Fried Eggs

  1. Once the pan is hot, add the veg oil and the cripsy chilli oil.
  2. Break the eggs into the pan.  Cook for a couple of minutes.  We like our Eggs to have a runny yolk but cook until you’re happy with them.
  3. Remove from the pan.

To finish your Eggs

  1. Sprinkle with some spring onion and/or fresh coriander.
  2. We served the Eggs on our Spicy Pancakes but you could serve on toast or alongside some bacon.
