BUFFET-STYLE FLUFFY OVEN SCRAMBLED EGGS FOR A CROWD



Buffet-Style Fluffy Oven Scrambled Eggs for a Crowd image

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 :)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3-1/2 cup butter, melted
24 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use seasoned salt)
fresh ground black pepper (optional and to taste) or white pepper (optional and to taste)
1 1/4 cups half-and-half cream
1 1/4 cups milk (or use 2-1/2 cups all milk)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F (set oven rack to lowest position).
  • Spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray then pour the melted butter into the pan.
  • In a bowl whisk eggs and salt until smooth and well blended.
  • Gradually whisk in the half and half and milk; pour into the baking pan.
  • Bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven then stir the eggs; return to oven and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are just set (to insure soft fluffy eggs do not overbake as the eggs will cook more after removing from the oven).
  • Serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE SCRAMBLED EGGS



How to Make Scrambled Eggs image

Making moist, fluffy scrambled eggs is easy! Cook your eggs evenly and get great results every time with a few simple tips.

Provided by Tori Avey

Categories     Breakfast     Main Course

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large eggs
2 tbsp whole milk, (half and half, heavy cream, or water)
Shredded or crumbled cheese ((optional))
Salt and pepper ((I prefer sea salt and freshly ground black pepper))
Butter ((alternate oils include olive oil, ghee, avocado oil, or nonstick oil spray))

Steps:

  • If you plan on adding cheese to your eggs, make sure that the cheese is shredded/prepared and set aside so you can add it to the non-stick skillet quickly. Place your skillet on the stovetop and turn on the heat. I leave the heat somewhere between medium low and medium, so it warms up but doesn't get too hot.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your eggs. Break them into a bowl with a tablespoon of milk, half and half, or water (I prefer half and half or milk). Add some salt and pepper - I typically add about 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt and a few turns of black pepper. You might use more or less according to taste. If you're dairy intolerant or don't like the taste of milk, feel free to use water - but don't skip adding a little liquid, as it helps to add fluffiness to the scramble. I personally love the way creamy half and half enhances the flavor of the eggs.
  • Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs briskly for 30-60 seconds, making sure the eggs are fully broken up and mixed well with the milk and the seasonings. Use a little elbow grease here, the more you whip it the better.
  • Lightly grease your hot skillet, coating the surface with a thin layer of oil or butter. I typically use butter, but only if the skillet isn't very hot - butter has a low smoke point, which means it burns easily. If the skillet has heated up a lot, try using ghee, avocado oil, or something with a higher smoke point. If using nonstick spray oil, use caution and keep it away from any open gas flames.Pour the eggs into the skillet. Keep the heat on medium/medium low, you don't want to rush it here-- if the skillet is too hot the eggs will cook too quickly and become rubbery. Once you pour the eggs in they will begin to cook immediately. Using a spatula (I use a wooden or silicone spatula so I won't damage my pan's nonstick coating), begin pulling the cooked outer edges in towards the center of the eggs. Uncooked eggs will flood the area you just pulled back. If you are adding cheese, now is the time to sprinkle it into the skillet. This will allow ample time for the cheese to melt and integrate into the eggs.
  • Move the spatula around the edge of the skillet, pulling the cooked edges towards the center and re-flooding repeatedly. Cooked scrambled eggs will gather in the center of the skillet.
  • At a certain point, the uncooked eggs will no longer flood and the scramble will all collect in the center of the skillet, but it will still be slightly runny in texture. Begin breaking up the scramble; quickly turn undercooked areas and keep the scramble moving to make sure that all surfaces cook evenly. Never leave a surface in contact too long with the skillet or it will become overcooked.
  • Turn off the heat when the eggs are about 90% cooked. When the eggs are done, serve immediately. Perfectly cooked scrambled eggs are moist but not runny, with no crisp or brown edges. This technique may take a bit of practice, but it is quite simple. With time you too will be making and serving moist, fluffy scrambled eggs!

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT, FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS



How to Make Perfect, Fluffy Scrambled Eggs image

To make perfect scrambled eggs, you want to whip a lot of air into the eggs. Learn to make light, fluffy scrambled eggs using this easy technique.

Provided by Danilo Alfaro

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Entree

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
Salt (to taste)
White pepper (freshly ground, to taste; or black pepper)
2 tablespoons clarified butter (or regular butter)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Crack the eggs into a glass mixing bowl and beat them until they turn a pale yellow color.
  • Add the milk to the eggs and season to taste with salt and white pepper. Whisk the eggs like crazy. If you're not up for that, you can use an electric beater or stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whatever device you use, you're trying to beat as much air as possible into the eggs. Note that it may be easier and quicker to beat the eggs in two batches (4 at a time) to make sure you don't have any lumps.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed, nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
  • When the butter in the pan is hot enough to make a drop of water hiss, pour in the eggs. Don't stir. Let the eggs cook for up to a minute or until the bottom starts to set but doesn't brown.
  • With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push one edge of the egg into the center while tilting the pan to allow the still liquid egg to flow in underneath. Repeat with the other edges, until there's no liquid left.
  • Turn off the heat and continue gently stirring and turning the egg until all the uncooked parts become firm. Don't break up the egg, keeping the curds as large as possible. If you're adding any other ingredients, quickly add them now.
  • Transfer to a plate when the eggs are set but still moist and soft. Eggs are delicate, so they'll continue to cook for a few moments after they're on the plate. Serve immediately and enjoy.

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.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs produce fluffier scrambled eggs.
  • Use Quality Cheese: Better quality cheese offers superior flavor and texture.
  • Control Heat: Cook the eggs over medium-low heat to prevent overcooking and rubbery texture.
  • Stir Gently: Avoid vigorous stirring as it can break the curds and result in a watery texture.
  • Cook Until Desired Consistency: Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
  • Add-Ins: Experiment with various fillings like vegetables, meat, or herbs to enhance flavor.

Conclusion:

Creating fluffy cheesy scrambled eggs is a simple yet satisfying culinary experience. By following these tips, you can master the art of crafting perfect scrambled eggs every time. Remember to use quality ingredients, control heat, stir gently, adjust cooking time, and experiment with different add-ins to elevate the flavor profile. Whether you prefer a classic or a more adventurous variation, these versatile eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that caters to diverse preferences. So gather your ingredients, turn on the stove, and embark on a delightful journey of creating fluffy cheesy scrambled eggs that will tantalize your taste buds.
