Truffle Scrambled Eggs.

Ingredients

3 free-range eggs
1 heaped tablespoon sour cream
20mls sparkling wine
40g butter, cut into cubes
Chervil
Shaved black truffle
Parmesan shavings
Pepper and sea salt
Extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
1 slice white bread


Method

Whisk together the eggs in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add sour
cream and butter in knobs, don't whisk. Heat a frypan with a little butter
until it foams. Add egg mix to frypan and gently fold over medium heat.
When the eggs start to firm up, take them off the heat and add a dash of
sparkling wine to lighten and freshen the mix. Pile the scrambled egg onto
the bread.
Before the egg cools, shave the truffle on top, add chervil and parmesan
shavings. Eat immediately.

To finish off an extravagent breakfast, add a couple of oysters and serve
with a glass of chilled bubbles.



(I'd ditch the white bread and use wholemeal :-)
