This was really really good!!! I fried some onions and added it to the batter- we loved it! I will definitely make this again.

These eggs are really good if you add something to it. My kids will only eat them if I add cheese. I usually add some pieces of bacon as well. These do not stick to the pan like regular scrambled eggs would and the clean up is a breeze.

These are the scrambled eggs of my childhood. I have never had the recipe but now I do. I love these eggs. My Mother would add bits of bacon. So good. Thanks.

somerlyn
These are great !!! I cut the recipe down to make 1 serving didn't feel like eating half a dozen eggs. I had these with my Sunday pancakes and syrup. Next time it gets some sharp cheddar or maybe even Colby cheese for sure. I always love lots of pepper on my eggs too. Thanks for an interesting addition to my collection. I don't think it will replace my sunny side up fried eggs just yet but its right up there !!!

My family loved them! I really jazzed mine up too. I mixed in thin-sliced grilled white onions and garlic, Original Essence, Bacon pieces, and used soy flour instead of regular, cut the flour in half. Sprinkled with sharp cheddar! MmMmMm!

I loved them. I found it to be more like an omelet! I used olive oil instead of butter was the only change I made. I had it as a filling for my lunch sandwich and I found very good as a low fat lunch. Thanks for sharing Leslie.
