This straightforward dish lets the flavor of the finishing salt stand out. Experiment with different salts - the simplicity of the dish allows for full appreciation of the salt's delicate flavor. Scrambled eggs make an ideal weeknight supper, coming together quickly and needing no accompaniment other than a green salad.

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
4 eggs, lightly beaten
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fleur de sel or other finishing salt, to taste

Method

Melt butter in a medium skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 3 minutes, then add chives and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Add eggs and black pepper.
