When it came to royal meals, Queen Elizabeth stuck to simple, fresh ingredients and familiar basics that rarely wavered. Although she preferred healthy, unfussy dishes like a two-ingredient lunch (and a good gin and Dubonnet) over lavish royal spreads, she did have a few quirks. According to several sources, the late Queen enjoyed her scrambled eggs with an unusual twist.
Per Eating Well, food blogger and Welcome to My Farm host Lisa Steele said "Queen Elizabeth's secret to scrambled eggs" was one of her favorite recipes. "She reportedly loved adding a dusting of nutmeg and some lemon zest to her eggs. It sounds odd, but it's actually a nice combination," she told the publication.
