Breakfast Rumbled Eggs

rumbled eggs
(from Godey's Ladies Magazine, edited by L.A. Godey, Sarah J. Hale, 1866)

Ingredients:

3 eggs​

2 ounces of fresh butter, or well-washed salt butter​

1 teaspoonful of cream, or new milk​

​

Serve on buttered toast​

Instructions:

Very convenient for invalids, or, when required, a light dish for supper. Beat up three eggs with two ounces of fresh butter, or well-washed salt butter; add a teaspoonful of cream or new milk. Put all in a saucepan and keep stirring it over the fire for five minutes, until it rises up like a souffle, when it should be immediately dished on buttered toast.​

Great post donna, sounds a bit like scrambled eggs, is there any main difference?

 

[donna]

It seems they are basically the same. Just a 19th century type of scrambled eggs.

Another winner Donna. I'd never heard that particular term for scrambled eggs before, but I will use it first chance I get.

Thanks for that donna.

Anybody tried this receipe yet?

Not yet, but it's given me a hankering for some scrambled egg. I like to add bacon bits, or chopped bacon slices. Garnished with paprika and chopped onion (raw).
Anyone else got additions to plain scrambled/rumbled eggs?

I put in generous amounts of tabasco! (But I do that with everything except vanilla ice cream....) I'm going to try this - never thought about beating butter into the eggs. But that would make it rise up!

Now I hankering also for some scrambled eggs for dinner tonight! I get my eggs farm-raised from a friend. I like to add bacon also and some shredded cheese...ya get differing tastes depending on the kinda cheese you using...like no kidding...duh. Sometimes I add some chopped jalapenia peppers and a dash or 2 of hot sauce. This will insure a good "movement" next morning!

Today, June 3 is national Egg Day so thought bring this recipe back up. Hope some of you post some delicious recipes with eggs for today.

For me there is nothing like fried eggs, bacon and biscuits for breakfast.

Mostly, I like the term for them--rumbled eggs! I think my 12-year old son would think that's funny!

Thought bring this thread up as early recipe for rumbled eggs.

 

[Lubliner]

I have all the ingredients for once, but a microwave. I may try it just the same. Thanks, @donna.

3 eggs and some milk, then rumble it up with a fork. Sometimes with salami or peppers and onions. I like to also add American cheese!

 

[Mike Serpa]

Perhaps more of a quiche?

Scrambled egg with an other moniker.

 

[Patrick H]

I like the term, too!

The name caught my attention--and I love recipes with eggs. Just tried it and I must say it is very, very good. Somehow it is a bit different from scrambled eggs. All that butter and little bit of cream definitely adds something. Thank you for the recipe.

So glad you made it. It is good to get opinion of one who made and ate it.
