Snap Lock Scrambled Eggs
This yummy breakfast has been shared with us by Nikalene Riddle from Skinnymixers. After trying to make scrambled eggs in her mixer three years ago, it turned her off trying again... it was an inedible mess! This recipe was inspired by Heston Blumenthal's scrambled eggs with brown butter recipe and Andrea Lee from Forking Foodie's suggestion to create sous-vide scrambled eggs. The texture is silky, and there is a 10 second cleanup. It is also perfect for people who don't have a stovetop or are following a "low carb / high fat" lifestyle.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "I never used to bother making scrambled eggs at home because I’m not very good at it. Definitely the nicest scrambled eggs I have ever made, and really easy as well. I would definitely use this method to make them again." - Karen
