I always enjoy experimenting with new variation of eggs as I believe they are a very versatile ingredient and take the flavor of the spices or vegetables that get added to them.


Not all experiments succeed but one of my latest creations turned out to be a successful one: a feta barberry egg scramble that brings middle eastern flavors to life, served with a piece of a homemade challah bread - can be served with any bread of choice. The key to this meal is to cook it on low and slow to make sure the texture comes out soft and fluffy, and the cheese melts properly into this blend.
