I'm with you, Dave. If cooked a certain way, they are incredibly flavorful. So
much so they hardly need any seasoning.

I'm talking about the so-called French cooking method. It involves cooking
straight mixed eggs ...no water, no milk, no cream... at a very low
temperature over a period of about 6-8 mins. The method is so slow, one
technique is to cook the eggs in a glass bowl over a water bath, a
double-boiler if you will. Eggs cooked by this method never really cook up
in the usual sense. It's more like they set up like a hollandaise sauce.
They just keep getting thicker and thicker till they begin forming curds.
The result is very moist scrambled eggs that taste more like straight yolks
than the dull flavorless hard scramble of your typical greasy spoon / home
breakfast table. Give it a try. Yes, it's time consuming and labor
intensive, but the result is astonishingly good and really brings out the
true flavor of an egg.
