Special Scrambled Eggs

This is the perfect breakfast for Mum on Mother's Day or any other day you want someone to know how loved and appreciated they really are.

1 slice of smoked salmon
1 little gem lettuce
About 50g Celariac coarsly grated
50g Butter and a splash of Olive oil
3 large eggs
1 dessertspoon double cream
25g Cheshire or Wensleydale Cheese, crumbled into small pieces
Salt and black pepper
A few sprigs of parsley
One little gem lettuce

First of all, prepare your smoked salmon. Cut it into long strips, about an inch in width and roll from one end to the other to make a pretty flower centre, place this into the middle of a large plate, adding a little squeeze of lemon. Arrange about 6 leaves of little gem lettuce around the edge of the smoked salmon to look like the petals of a flower. You can put this in the fridge until needed.
If you are using celariac, cut a small slice out of the root, peel it and coarsly grate it, leave to one side, there should be about 50g/one heaped tablespoon when grated. Melt half of the butter, about 25g and a splash of olive oil, over a low heat in a wide based saucepan or deep frying pan. While the butter is melting, (watch it doesn't burn while you are doing this, remove from the heat once melted), crack 3 large eggs into a large bowl or jug, add 1 dessertspoon of double cream, the crumbled cheese, some salt and pepper to taste and whisk until the yolks and whites are completely mixed together, leave to one side.
When the butter is melted, add the grated celariac and cook on a low heat, with the lid on, until it softens. When softened add another 25g butter, and when melted, add the eggs on a medium heat and stir like mad with a wooden spoon, making sure you are covering the whole surface area of the pan, the corners and all, keep stirring. Take off the heat while there is still a little liquid left and keep stirring for a minute, then when the eggs are creamy, but not sloppy and liquiddy, spoon about a dessertspoon full into the centre of each lettuce leaf. Season with salt and pepper and olive oil, or sprinkle with a little more cheese. Serve with a generous helping of love and a cup of tea or coffee, and more flowers!
Note: You can use carrot instead of celariac, or leave it out completely, you can use some nice ham or cooked bacon to make the centre of the flower. You can leave the cheese out or use Mum's favourite cheese instead. You can also add some toast and butter soldiers or petal shapes, in between the lettuce leaves.
