"The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell."
-Zora Neale Hurston
There are lots of scrambled egg variations, but the ones that I love best are the Spanish versions. Generally speaking, the eggs are on the runny side, soft and silky, and filled with veggies. They are often served on lunch menus with a smaller portion as a main course. Amongst the versions I have had, the mushroom are my favorite.
Serve this as a dinner meal with a side salad.

Place 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook slowly for about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and cook for 15 minutes. Toss frequently.
After the mushrooms are cooked add the parsley, sherry, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper.
Cook for another 3 minutes on medium-high, stirring frequently, until the sherry has mostly evaporated.
Toss well and remove from the heat.
Place the remaining teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, break the eggs into the pan.
Add the milk and whisk gently, using a spatula, folding the eggs together as they cook.
Add the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Continue to fold the eggs together, but adjust the heat so that the eggs don't dry out.
When the eggs are halfway cooked, fold in the mushrooms.
When the eggs are cooked but still slightly soft, add the chives, fold them in, and serve.
