Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Onions and Cheese

Another recipe learned directly from my grandmother, one of the best cooks in the village. And now I remember how she made scrambled eggs for "mamaliga"(moldavian polenta). In our family no polenta passes without this eggs, so I recommend you to try it.

Everything is simple and ordinary but you have to be careful with the ingredients: Feta cheese must be sheep or cow, but it must be salted well and harder (matured), if you have problems with the taste of onions - you can harden it in oil and then a remove and use only that aromatic oil. If it still doesn't work, add butter. To liquefy the scrambled eggs you can put sour cream, yogurt, milk and even water in harder times. You can also combine them with each other - I usually put what I have in the fridge, all of them a little bit so that a total of about 1 cup of liquid comes out.

After the composition thickens, it becomes like a softer omelette, you can let it cook for another 5-10 minutes on medium heat. Usually salt should not be suitable, because the cheese is salty enough.

In addition, if you like it and you can, you can add a little curry for the color (this is not according to grandma's recipe :) or dried herbs, but without a strong aroma, something like parsley.

Serve with hot polenta and a little juice.

Good appetite!
