Since we’re honoring the timeless taste of a butter that has been around since 1911, I thought it would be fitting to pair it with a classic and simple dish – scrambled eggs. Plus, did you know that butter is one of the best ingredients to use with scrambled eggs?
Here’s how to make buttery scrambled eggs with Challenge Butter:
1. Melt a generous amount of Challenge Butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, crack your eggs directly into the pan. I’ll be using eggs from my backyard hens for this recipe!
3. Turn the heat down slightly and gently scramble the eggs in the pan with a spatula, mixing them with the melted butter.
4. Cook the eggs to your desired consistency, making sure that the buttery flavor is well-incorporated.
5. Serve your buttery scrambled eggs immediately for the perfect start to your day!
