Nero Wolfe`s Scrambled eggs Recipe

Bring water in the bottom of a double boiler to a boil and reduce the heat so that the water barely simmers. Use an asbestos pad if necessary. Break the eggs into a small bowl and add the cream, salt, and pepper. Beat vigorously with a whisk. Melt the butter in the top of the double boiler and add the egg-cream mixture. Cover and place over the simmering water.

Allow to cook undisturbed for about 15 minutes. Uncover and stir with a wooden spoon and continue to stir continuously until the desired degree of firmness is achieved. Be sure that the water in the bottom section does not reach a full boil. In the meantime, cook the clarified butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat until it turns a dark brown. Be careful that it does not burn. Add a few drops of vinegar, stir, and serve as a sauce for the scrambled eggs.
