Top Tip
Jamie wholeheartedly believes that cooking is up there as one of the most valuable skills you can teach a child.
Method
- Crack the eggs into a bowl – if you need to remove any little bits of shell, use a bigger bit of shell as a scoop to get it out.
- Tilt the bowl slightly and whisk up the eggs with a fork.
- Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-low heat.
- Cut your slices of bread in half and pop them in the toaster.
- Place the butter in the pan to melt, swirling it around to coat the base.
- When it starts to sizzle, pour in the egg.
- Use a spatula to keep moving the egg gently about the pan, also scraping any off the sides. You want to achieve a nice silky texture with sheets of soft egg. Remember, eggs are delicate – turn the heat off a moment before they’re done as they’ll continue to cook in the residual heat of the pan.
- Push the egg to one side of the pan with your spatula to make it easier to serve, then use a spoon to pile the eggs onto your toast.
- Season from a height with a tiny pinch of sea salt and a pinch of black pepper, and tuck in.
