Low Histamine Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs might seem like the simplest thing in the world, but done right, they are genuinely one of the most satisfying meals you can make. This version keeps things clean and straightforward — fresh eggs, a splash of whole milk, butter, and a pinch of seasoning — which is exactly what makes it such a reliable choice when you're navigating a low-histamine approach to eating. Aged cheeses, fermented ingredients, and leftover proteins are common triggers that can sneak into even "simple" dishes, but everything here is fresh and minimally processed. The technique is the real star: low heat, slow folds, and pulling the pan off the flame just before the eggs look done. That patience pays off in large, creamy curds that are soft and glossy rather than rubbery or dry. A scatter of fresh chives on top adds a gentle, onion-like brightness without introducing anything problematic. It's the kind of dish that proves eating carefully doesn't mean eating boringly.
