Ingredients
  • For English-style scrambled eggs:
  • 2 T butter
  • 4 free-range eggs, beaten and seasoned
  • For French-style scrambled eggs:
  • 4 free-range eggs, beaten and seasoned
  • 2 T butter, cut into small pieces
  • For American-style scrambled eggs:
  • 2 T butter
  • 4 free-range eggs, beaten and seasoned
  • For the toast:
  • 2 T butter or ghee
  • 3 slices Cape seed bread
  • For the toppings:
  • 100 g frozen petit-pois peas, blanched
  • 2 T crème fraîche
  • Lemon juice, a squeeze
  • 100 g Dalewood Boland cheese
  • 100 g feta
Method

To make the English-style scrambled eggs, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium to high heat. Add the eggs and stir until the curds start to cook. Remove from the heat while still wet – the eggs will continue cooking in the pan.

To make the French-style scrambled eggs, place the eggs in a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk occasionally until slightly thick. Add the butter and fold in using a spatula as they cook. This method takes the longest.

To make the American-style scrambled eggs, melt the butter in a nonstick pan. Add the eggs and leave to cook ever so slightly, then fold the mixture in from the edges making big folds using a spatula. Remove from the heat when eggs are still shiny and wet.

Melt the butter or ghee in a nonstick pan over a high heat and toast the bread on both sides. Top each slice with the different scrambled eggs.

To make toppings, blitz the peas, crème fraîche and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Grate the Boland cheese over one piece of toast, break feta over the other and top the last one with pea purée. Season to taste.
