Scrambled Eggs With Cheese

Last Friday, I made Julia Child's scrambled eggs. It said in the recipe book that French scrambled eggs are creamier and a little different than our regular scrambled eggs. The recipe is for about four people, but if someone is really really hungry one person can eat the whole meal.

First you need about eight eggs and then you actually mix in milk, which I have never thought of doing. The milk makes it a lot smoother and creamier. What also makes it melt in your mouth is before you pour the egg mixture in, you coat the bottom of the pan with a lot of butter. Like Julia Child said "you can never have enough butter". Another unique thing that you do is, during the cooking process, you take the pan on and off of the burner and keep mixing it.

I learned a lot of different techniques just by making scrambled eggs, imagine that. For next time I think I am making a mushroom quiche (more eggs); I can't wait!

Until then,

Hollandaise Sauce

Last night I made Hollandaise Sauce. It was quite easy and only took about half an hour to make. It tasted a little different that I thought it would, but it was still good. I found out the reason why it tastes so delicious, and it is because there is like a pound of butter in it! At first my problem was that it wasn't thickening up and it took about ten minutes until it did. Then my problem was that it was too thick (like the consistency of pudding). In the recipe book, there was a bunch of things that told you what to do if something happened, like if it was too thick. It said to put one to two tablespoons of water in it or it had a list of other things you could put in it to make it less thick. Then my problem was that it was a little too thin. But I gave up, and my dad said that it was fine the way it was. After all, the sauce was really good. We had it with asparagus, and it was delicious!

For next time I am making the hardest recipe ever. Guess what it is.........Scrambled Eggs! It is like the easiest recipe ever! Ha ha. I can't even believe that the recipe for Scrambled Eggs is in Julia Child's recipe book!

Until next time (hopefully soon)
