Eggs with a taste of France

Eggs are good just about any way you fix them. We like sunny side up, poached or scrambled. This technique is how I like to fix scrambled eggs. These eggs have half-and-half and herbs from France. These eggs seem to be a hit every time I make them. I was visiting family in the Chicago area and the kids loved these eggs. My wife asked me to make these eggs, so I decided to teach the kids too. They loved them and now this is the only way they fix eggs!

I like to fix two eggs per person and this post was written for two servings.

As the eggs begin to cook, drag the bottom of the pan as well as around the edges to clear the cooked eggs and let the mixture fill the void.

Add the cheese to eggs once they are still a little runny. Mix thoroughly and let the eggs finish cooking. The eggs are done once you have a solid mass and they appear to be moist not wet.

You can eat these eggs like a typical breakfast. Today, we served them on biscuits.
