Marblehead Soft Scrambled Egg, Corn, and Cheddar Cheese
Marblehead Soft Scrambled Egg, Corn, and Cheddar CheeseCookbook cover image courtesy of Random House
I named this for Lloyd Kramer, a regular customer and a onetime pretty famous reporter, now director, who's from a suburb outside Boston called Marblehead. Lloyd is on a healthy diet now, but before that, when he ordered what he wanted, this is what he ate. It has a ton of cheese in it. The frozen corn cools down the eggs, allowing me to cook them over a higher fire than I normally cook scrambled eggs and still have really creamy eggs.
