Sunday Best Scrambled Eggs

Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium high heat. Crack the eggs into a small bowl.
Whip the eggs together until pale and frothy, about 30 seconds. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to create a whirlpool in the simmering water.
Pour the eggs into the center of the whirlpool.
Cover the pot with a lid.
Cook for 1 minute.
Remove the lid. Use a spider skimmer or slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a colander to drain for 10 seconds more. Slide the eggs into the center of a platter and season with salt and pepper. Surround the eggs with the sherried mushrooms.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh chives and drizzle truffle oil over the top.

Sunday Know How

Truffle oil has a distinctive, rich flavor. A little goes a long way, and a bottle will last several months stored on a cool shelf in your pantry. You can find it in your grocery store or online at specialty gourmet food sites. Truffle oil comes in white or black depending on the truffle at its source. My favorite for this dish is white truffle oil, which is perfect with its cousin the mushroom, and a helping of fluffy eggs.
