EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
- Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

Steps:
- Melt the ghee in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the shallots, and cook until the shallots begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with the curry powder, and cook 5 minutes more. Add the tablespoon of water if needed to keep the shallots from burning.
- Meanwhile, place the cream cheese into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in the microwave until the cream cheese is fairly soft, about 30 seconds on High. Whisk in the eggs and Dijon mustard until the cream cheese is mostly mixed in (a few lumps are fine). Stir the egg mixture into the skillet with the shallots, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the eggs have firmed. They will still be softer than normal scrambled eggs because of the cream cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper just as the eggs are ready to come out of the pan.

CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SAUSAGE AND SCALLIONS

Steps:
- 1. Warm large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, and cook until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, break eggs into a bowl, and beat lightly with a fork. Stir in scallions, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce.
- 3. Melt butter in the skillet with the sausage over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs. Cook, stirring almost continuously, until eggs are set but still soft and creamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will produce fluffier, more flavorful scrambled eggs. Look for eggs that are no more than two weeks old.
- Use the right pan: A non-stick pan is the best choice for scrambled eggs. It will prevent the eggs from sticking and make them easier to stir.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the eggs will cook unevenly. Aim for a single layer of eggs in the pan.
- Stir gently: Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs as they cook. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs are tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Season to taste: Salt and pepper are the classic seasonings for scrambled eggs, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help them retain their fluffy texture and flavor.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give scrambled eggs a try.
