Deviled Scrambled Eggs
 

I was looking thru an old cookbook & found this recipe. It looked good so I made it for lunch (eggs aren't just for breakfast!) & it was good! I added the onions & garlic - everything's better with onion & garlic. ;)

It's interesting how many older recipes are actually low carb. The older the cookbook, the higher the fat in the recipes.

Deviled Scrambled Eggs
makes 4 servings

butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
6 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sauté the onion in the butter for a few minutes, then add the garlic. Mix the remaining ingredients well and pour into pan. Cook over medium to low heat until just set, stirring frequently.

Bonnie, what a nice recipe. :) I like old cookbooks, too.

I've been making something similar for eons, just experimenting in the kitchen. Used a little fresh cream instead of sour cream, and Dijon mustard instead of powdered. Dijon mustard is really good with eggs; even just a dab mixed into otherwise plain scrambled eggs :thup:


Thanks for the reminder that eggs are for more than just breakfast :cool:

I never would have paired mustard with eggs until now. There are about half a dozen more recipes from that book I'm going to try; all new - to me - combinations. If they taste good, I'll post them here. :)

Bonnie, I've noticed in several of the old cookbooks I have that there is powdered mustard in the scrambled egg recipes.

Nice find. I am interested in hearing more!

I love yellow and Dijon mustard. The deviled scrambled eggs would go well stuffed in an avocado half :)

Looks good! I've been keeping the mustard powder handy for when I eat broccoli.

I've noticed this too; any cookbook from before the "low fat" 70s is bound to have some recipes that fit the LC WOE. Of course, also many recipes with grains & potatoes, so not a universal truth :-) Not long ago I went through my (originally my mother's) 1953 copy of "Joy of Cooking", and found a number of recipes I plan to try, mostly in the eggs & cheese section, or veggies.
