Cheesy scramble, or scrumble, which is what Simon named it, came about as a direct result of having a go at Welsh Rarebit. Simon liked it, he wanted it for breakfast daily at one point. However Welsh rarebit is not something we wanted to put together on a school day morning so we cheated, added grated cheese to his portion of scrambled eggs and a winner was born.

Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 20ml double cream per egg, you can substitute for milk but they aren't as nice!
- Salt and pepper
- 50 g grated cheddar cheese
- 2 english muffins split and toasted or 2 slices of bread toasted
You will also need
- A cooker with a grill option or very hot oven
Method
- Preheat the grill or oven
- Toast the bread or muffins on both sides
- Scramble your eggs per the basic recipe leaving them slightly runnier than usual
- Stir in half the cheese and combine
- Divide the eggs equally between the two slices of toast then crumble the remaining cheese evenly on top
- Grill or bake until the cheese melts and starts to go brown
- Eat and enjoy
Serving suggestions and variations
- If you can cook your eggs on a hob then fry off some streaky bacon in the pan before you add the eggs and leave out the cheese. This is also a family favourite and creates less washing up than cooking the bacon separately
- As above try with chopped button mushrooms as a vegetarian option, be aware that the eggs may go a little grey
- Want a more substantial meal for lunch then add a side salad or cook some tomatoes to go with it.
Acknowledgements
I suspect there are any number of people that have mixed scrambled eggs and cheese together. We have gone a step further and named it. So this particular version one is acknowledged to Simon, who eats more of it than anyone else.
Fancy something else from our collection then why not try one of the following;
- for a tasty lunch or supper dish why not give Running Mac and cheese a go, great when the runners are in season,
- Our Lentil and frankfurter soup will fill a gap on a cold evening as well,
- alternatively why not try Alex's chocolate brownies for a sweet treat.
Happy eating!
