For a light meal, you can’t beat scrambled eggs. What we have here is the basic scrambled eggs recipe that has been used for ages and ages all over Narnia. If you want to get adventurous, you can add a few different herbs and spices. But be careful—too much garlic or too much chili could ruin the flavor. Faun Orruns would probably toss in a few finely chopped chives or a touch of garlic because Fauns have delicate and well-refined tastes, though they are light eaters. One interesting thing about scrambled eggs is that you can eat a lot more eggs when they are scrambled than you can if they are fried or boiled.

Breakfast was scrambled eggs and toast and Eustace tackled it just as if he had not had a very large supper in the middle of the night.

—THE SILVER CHAIR

PER PERSON:

2 slices firm white or wheat bread, toasted, lightly buttered, and halved diagonally

2 tablespoons butter

2 large eggs

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Keep the toast warm while preparing the eggs.

2. Warm a nonstick pan and melt the butter over low heat. Break the eggs into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring in one direction until the mixture begins to set.

3. With a wooden spoon, pull the egg mixture away from the sides of the pan, and stir the eggs just enough to keep from sticking to the pan.

4. When the eggs are cooked but still soft, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and turn out onto warm plates. Tuck a triangle of toast on each side of the eggs and serve while piping hot.
