BUFFET-STYLE FLUFFY OVEN SCRAMBLED EGGS FOR A CROWD
This is the method that restaurants use to serve eggs for a buffet brunch --- for cheesy eggs mix in 1-1/2 cups shredded old cheddar cheese or you may sprinkle the cheese on top after removing from the oven --- 2-1/2 cups half and half cream and milk will produce ultra fluffy eggs, for a firmer texture reduce to 2 cups--- NOTE this recipe was tested using large eggs I cannot promise the same results using small or extra large eggs --- if you are serving these eggs at a buffet some side ideas would be salsa, green onions, cheddar cheese and soft buns :)

BUFFET SCRAMBLED EGGS
These are my favorite scrambled eggs. The white sauce, flavored with chicken bouillon, keeps the eggs creamy and moist. It's a tasty twist on a morning mainstay.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. This will help to incorporate air into the eggs, making them light and fluffy.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs, cheese, or vegetables.
- Use a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them cook for a few minutes, without stirring. This will allow the eggs to set on the bottom.
- Once the eggs are set on the bottom, start stirring them gently. Continue stirring until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately. They are best when served hot.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast option. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time.
