I also use cream....... probably 60-40, sometimes 50-50 :-)

As O said, it gives you delightfully creamy scrambled eggs.


The SO went through a stage where she wanted the eggs just 'muddled' and
not whisked, and she wanted it slightly undercooked. I must say, I
preferred mine to be whisked rather than have cooked chunks of white and
yellow streaks through the mix.


I also have pics somewhere here of the perfect omlette...... I use water to
make mine, and they *have* to be undercooked to be light and fluffy.
