SIDE NOTES:

~  When sleeping over a friend’s house, my son had eggs like these & loved them.  After inquiring about the specific spices used, my friend told me it was Emeril’s “baby bam” spice mix (Thx Trish!).  We tried it here at home & all really enjoyed it.  Of course, you can tailor it to your own taste. Don’t have celery salt and hate oregano? Leave them out. Want to add a little kick? Add some cayenne or red pepper flakes. Personally, a few of us here have always enjoyed cilantro over our scrambled eggs, so we added a little over the top at the table.

~ Of course, you can also use this spice mix to season soups, meats, vegetables, grains…etc.

~  FYI – Most people beat in a little milk with scrambled eggs, which is fine, but it’s not at all necessary.  Personally, I don’t add milk, but either way works – up to you.

Who else was going to elementary school birthday parties in the late 70s? As I was combining my spices, I had a flash back to those “sand creations” that were such a popular b-day party activity back then.

Pretty 🙂
