ℹ️FAQ
Yes! Fresh peas work perfectly, but they give a slightly sweeter, more delicate flavor. Additionally, they require a little extra cooking time to soften compared to a frozen one.
Incorporate 1–2 tablespoons of milk while whisking the eggs. Once beaten, add them to the softened peas and cook over low heat. Use this variation if dairy is acceptable.
Scrambled eggs taste best fresh, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Either microwave it or reheat gently on low heat.
Serving Ideas
