Herb-infused scrambled eggs are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast staple. Originating from the simple yet flavorful European tradition of incorporating fresh herbs into everyday dishes, this recipe elevates the humble scrambled eggs into a gourmet experience. The addition of herbs like chives and parsley not only adds vibrant color but also infuses the eggs with a fresh, aromatic flavor. This dish is perfect for those looking to start their day with a nutritious and satisfying meal, or for anyone wanting to impress guests with a sophisticated brunch option.
These herb-infused scrambled eggs pair beautifully with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with a slice of crusty sourdough bread or a flaky croissant to soak up the creamy eggs. A side of smoked salmon or crispy bacon can add a savory contrast, while a fresh fruit salad provides a sweet balance. For a complete brunch experience, accompany the dish with a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Herb-Infused Scrambled Eggs
Servings: 2
Ingredients
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds until it begins to set around the edges.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the chopped chives and parsley.
Serve immediately on a warm plate.

Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, substitute the milk or cream with half-and-half or crème fraîche. You can also experiment with different herbs such as dill, tarragon, or basil for a unique twist. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. For a cheesy version, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or crumbled feta over the eggs just before serving.
