Eggs are awesome.

For scrambled I start with real butter and diced ham, sauté the ham to get the sugars out and caramelized. I never whisk the eggs but rather crack them straight into the pan and let them start to set up before breaking the yolks. I don't thin my eggs with milk. Milk just ruins the texture. About half way firm I add a yellow cheese, some mozzarella and a generous amount of fresh ground pepper. Sometimes I'll dice cherry tomatoes that go in the pan after the ham but before the eggs. A nice easy way to change them up is a spoonful of pico or green chile at the end.

The trick is to keep the final product moist, never dry or wet.

Title of your post reminds me of the time that Jacque, the street sweeper from Paris who lived with us for a couple of weeks after following my mom and childhood friend Petra from Stuttgart home from a rally in DC.

We stopped at a Diner after catching Santana at Jones Beach for a late night snack. The waitress asked Jacque "how do you like it cooked?". Jacque replied, "oh yes, cooked would be nice please".
