I kove 'em this way too. I can't figger out what makes the difference
between scrambled eggs cooked quickly and cooked slowly. It's the same
eggs! For those of you that have never tried the slow-fry scrambled
eggs, throw a tablespoon of butter/margarine in a fry pan, put heat on
low, and melt the butter. While butter is melting, put 3 or 4 eggs in
a bowl and use a fork to mix it good. Dump the eggs into the fry pan
and let is sit, stirring occassionally. They will eventually get like
tiny lumps. You will know when it's cooked...it will start to dry out
a little. Serve hot. Yummy! Lots of flavor!!!
