Biltong and Egg Scramble
A savory and protein-packed South African breakfast featuring biltong (dried cured meat) and scrambled eggs. Carefully crafted nut-free.
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Butter
- about 113 g Biltong (beef)
- 2 tbsp Spring Onions
- 1/2 medium Tomato
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, crack the 8 large Eggs. Add the 1/4 cup Milk, 1/4 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Black Pepper. Whisk everything together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is a uniform yellow color.
- 2Place a 25.4 cm non-stick skillet over medium heat, which is about 163°C. Add the 1 tbsp Butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the bottom.
- 3Pour the whisked egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set. Then, using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly moist and creamy.
- 4While the eggs are cooking, finely chop the 1/2 medium Tomato into small pieces. Also, thinly slice the 2 tbsp Spring Onions.
- 5Add the about 113 g Biltong, the chopped 1/2 medium Tomato, and the sliced 2 tbsp Spring Onions to the skillet with the eggs. Gently stir everything together to combine.
- 6Continue to cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, stirring gently, until the biltong, tomato, and spring onions are heated through and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, ensuring they are no longer liquid.
- 7Serve the Biltong and Egg Scramble immediately.
