The Queen rarely changed her healthy diet, and her scrambled eggs became a breakfast staple.
As we continue to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II, we’re spotlighting some of her favorite everyday meals. If there’s one thing that brings us all together, it’s food. Some of her favorite foods included tea cakes, fish, mangoes and strawberry jam. She even talked about eating jam sandwiches every single day with her tea. Now that’s dedication.
Breakfast wasn’t always the same, though. Scrambled eggs were an occasional part of her breakfast, and her favorite toppings were royallydelicious.
Queen Elizabeth’s Scrambled Eggs Included Nutmeg and Lemon
It may sound a bit odd, but it’s completely true. Queen Elizabeth enjoyed her scrambled eggs with lemon juice and nutmeg, so you know we’re intrigued.
When the Queen wanted some protein-packed food for breakfast, her chef would start with three organic eggs and a tablespoon of milk. He’d whisk thoroughly before pouring the mixture in a warm pan on low heat with a tablespoon of butter. This was to keep the eggs fluffy and avoid lumps. Just before the eggs completely set, he would add in about 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a pinch of nutmeg. After the eggs set completely, they were garnished with black pepper and chives and immediately served to Her Majesty.
