Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
  • TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
  • Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
  • Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
  • Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Lightly beat the eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat; swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Add the eggs, and cook slowly, scraping them up with a rubber spatula occasionally, until most of the liquid has thickened and the eggs are soft, about 10 minutes. (If you like your eggs a little firmer, cook them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.) Remove them from the heat, and gently fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Serve hot.

MAKE AHEAD SCRAMBLED EGGS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Make Ahead Scrambled Eggs Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by Janes_kitchen

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 whole eggs
1/2 cups half-and-half, or heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoons white pepper
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 pound bacon, about 6 slices, cooked & chopped

Steps:

  • Beat eggs with cream in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Pour eggs into the skillet and cook, gently stirring frequently, until eggs are scrambled and just set, but still moist. Remove pan from heat and stir in sour cream, salt and pepper, 1/2 the cheese & chopped bacon. Spread eggs into a greased 12×7 glass baking pan. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover tightly and refrigerate. When ready to serve, heat oven to 350ºF and warm through, approximately 20-30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 140ºF internal temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will result in tough, rubbery scrambled eggs.
  • Cook the eggs over low heat: This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Stir the eggs constantly: This will help to ensure that the eggs cook evenly.
  • Season the eggs to taste: You can add salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to taste.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the scrambled eggs, such as cheese, vegetables, meat, or seafood.
  • Make-ahead tips: You can make scrambled eggs ahead of time and reheat them later. To reheat, place the scrambled eggs in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until heated through.

Conclusion:

Scrambled eggs are a quick and easy breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a little planning, you can make scrambled eggs ahead of time and have a delicious breakfast ready in minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give scrambled eggs a try!
