Scrambled Eggs and Orange Zest...hmmmm...I wasn't sure how these flavors were going to be together. It took a few bites for me to decide that I enjoyed the uniqueness of these flavors. It's not something I would have on a regular basis, but it is a nice change of pace. Made for June, 2009 Aussie/NZ Swap.

Wonderful flavored eggs! I enjoyed having the orange zest in the eggs. Next time I think I'll add more zest and maybe some herbs. Thanks for this recipe, Tisme! Prepared as a participant in the April 2009 Aus/NZ Swap #27 Event.

I'm a fan of zest (among other things) so was intrigued with this recipe! Very simple to make, & with an interesting taste! I was generous with the zest, & another time I'll add just a dash of lemon pepper perhaps! Definitely worth making again! Thanks for the recipe!
