How to prepare perfect scrambled eggs with leeks?
To prepare scrambled eggs with leeks, you will need a few simple ingredients:
- 6 eggs,
- 1/2 smaller leek,
- 28 grams butter or margarine (approximately),
- salt and pepper,
- granulated garlic.
Step 1: Preparing the leek
Start by thoroughly washing the leek to remove any dirt hidden between its layers. Then slice it into fine rings or half rings. Heat the butter or margarine in a pan and add the chopped leek. Sauté it on medium heat until it becomes soft and gently golden. This step is what gives the scrambled eggs with leeks their depth of flavour.
Step 2: Adding eggs and seasoning
Meanwhile, wash the eggs and crack them directly into the pan with the sautéed leek. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a bit of granulated garlic. Thanks to these seasonings, the scrambled eggs with leeks gain expressiveness and a unique aroma.
Step 3: Cooking to preferred consistency
Gently stir the mixture over low heat until you reach your preferred consistency. If you enjoy creamier scrambled eggs, don't cook them too long. If you prefer the eggs to be more set, you can extend the cooking time a bit.

Transfer the prepared scrambled eggs to a plate and optionally sprinkle with finely chopped chives. This is the perfect finishing touch that adds freshness and lightness to the dish.
