Our ten-minute Crab Salad isn’t the only easy way to use tarragon. Here, the fragrant herb, along with a dollop of cream cheese, adds elegance to scrambled eggs. Don’t relegate this wonderful dish to the breakfast table—served with a small green salad and a glass of white wine, it makes a delicious weeknight dinner.
