Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Gouda


Y'all know how I love lazy weekend morning breakfasts.  And how much I love cheese.  My favorite at the moment is smoked gouda.  The "not so secret" secret to wonderful scrambled eggs is to cook them over very low heat and gently let the curds cook with slow easy stirring with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Here's my recipe:

4 eggs, whisked with about 1 T. of water
A few shakes of salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper
1/4 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese

Over very low heat, melt 1 T. butter.  Let it heat until it foams and then pour in the eggs.  Very slowly stir the eggs in a figure 8 pattern.  If you stir them quickly over higher heat, you'll end up with rubbery, tough eggs.

When the eggs are still very soft, sprinkle in the shredded gouda and let it melt into the eggs.  Serve immediately.
