SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS



Sunny's Perfect Scrambled Cheesy Eggs image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 17m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons butter
12 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 link smoked pineapple-bacon chicken sausage, cut into slices

  • Stir remaining garlic powder, eggs, and milk together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the Cheddar cheese-covered hash browns in the skillet. Sprinkle bacon and sausage pieces on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is puffed, cheese is melted, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Add mix-ins. Mix-ins like vegetables, meat, or herbs can add flavor and texture to your scrambled eggs.
  • Cook the eggs in a hot skillet. A hot skillet will help the eggs cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Stir the eggs constantly. Stirring the eggs constantly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Season the eggs to taste. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for scrambled eggs, but you can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Serve the eggs immediately. Scrambled eggs are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.
