Delicious Scrambled Eggs and Brains Recipe
When all dishes of eggs get boring, take the simple scrambled eggs to the next level with a bit of brains. Get on to this exclusively creamy journey!
Despite some weird European traditions, eating raw pig isn’t recommended as it could cause all sort of inconvenient complications from bacterial infections to worms. Not like eating raw beef is 100% safe or we can’t get worms from sushi.
So, brains should be cooked in some way or the other and what other way would be best than frying it with a bit of onion and eggs. Well, there are other ways as well but making scrambled eggs with caramelized onion and a toss of brains sounds easy enough for anyone to try.
The results are really rewarding, as with very little effort, we can get a really delicious meal in very short time that can be satisfying at any time of the day.
The brain is totally edible tissue with a high concentration of DHA, that is an important omega 3 fatty acid (Healthy fat list) which is essential for growing children and lactating women (Breastfeeding Diet Guide).

So before going deep in the intricacies of how to make the perfect Tête de veau (French ‘calf’s head’) or testina di vitello (Italian) let’s just start with something simple that is between two worlds and pleases everyone even if they don’t know what they are having at the first bite.
