Method

1
Begin by finely dicing the small onion and mincing the garlic cloves. Grate the mild yellow cheddar cheese and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the large eggs vigorously with the Millac Gold Whipping & Cooking Cream, adding a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper until light and airy.

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the duck mince, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until beautifully browned and crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper as it cooks.

3
Drain any excess fat from the duck mince, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan with the duck, stirring frequently until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes, releasing its sweet aroma.

Pour the whisked egg and cream mixture over the duck and vegetables in the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the edges to set slightly, creating a custardy base.

Using a rubber spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center of the pan, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process, folding the mixture gently until the eggs are mostly set but still wonderfully soft and moist.

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the scramble. Fold it in gently until the cheese just melts into luscious, gooey pockets, creating ribbons of savoury goodness throughout the eggs.

While the scramble finishes, lightly toast the black sesame burger buns in a toaster or a separate dry pan until golden and fragrant, offering a perfect textural contrast.

Serve the rich, creamy Italian duck scramble immediately, generously spooned alongside the warm, toasted black sesame buns. Each bite is a symphony of savoury duck, melted cheddar, and fluffy egg, a truly comforting start to your day.
For an extra touch of flavour, a pinch of dried red chili flakes can be added to the duck mince as it browns, providing a subtle warmth. Ensure the eggs are not overcooked; they should remain moist and creamy for the best texture. Serve with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
