CHEF JOHN'S SUMMER SCRAMBLED EGGS
Cooking isn't about always doing the right thing, and this summer scramble is a perfect example. Adding juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes to a scramble tastes great, but it's not a common practice since having a pool of liquid under your eggs is considered bad form. I don't care; I have toast. Try to find a goat milk feta cheese for this; it's awesome!

CREAMY CHEESY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH BASIL
Sour cream makes these eggs rich and creamy and the basil adds a little kick of flavor. Sometimes I use pepperjack cheese and a little garlic and onion (powdered or fresh) for extra flavor.

- For a fluffier scramble, whip the eggs and salt in a bowl before cooking.
- Cook the eggs over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are just set. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra layer of flavor, add in some freshly chopped herbs like basil, thyme, or chives.
- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately over the tomato slices and sprinkle with fresh basil. Enjoy!
