SIMPLE SCRAMBLED EGGS
Slow and steady wins the race! Cooking over low heat ensures soft and luscious scrambled eggs. If you like, at the very end stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite shredded cheese, such as aged Cheddar or Gruyere.

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.
SCRAMBLED EGGS
It took me many years to perfect the simple art of a few scrambled eggs. Seems the simpler the dish, the harder it becomes! My simple rules are this: Rich, creamy eggs? Use a splash of heavy cream whisked in with the eggs. Lighter, fluffier eggs? Use a splash of water whisked in with the eggs. Decadent and rich eggs? Use a splash of water whisked in with the eggs and stir in some tiny cubes of butter at the VERY last minute of scrambling.

Steps:
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with a scant tablespoon water. Whisk only enough to mix. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
- Cook the eggs: Place 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. Lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Stir the eggs gently and constantly. Then, allow the eggs to cook 15 to 30 seconds, then stir again, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to keep the eggs moving.
- Finish: When cooked but still somewhat "soft", 2 to 3 minutes, sprinkle with a touch more salt. Stir and transfer to a serving dish so the eggs don't continue to cook in the hot pan.

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.

Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine eggs and milk with a fork. In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Stir a pinch of kosher salt into egg mixture then pour into pan, stirring slowly with a heat resistant rubber spatula. As soon as curds begin to form, increase heat to high and instead of stirring, use the spatula to fold the eggs over themselves while gently shaking the pan with your other hand. As soon as no more liquid is running around the bottom of the pan, remove from the heat and serve. Season with fresh black pepper and garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Remember: if they look done in the pan, they'll be over-done on the plate.

Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs until the yolks and the whites are cohesive and light yellow.
- Add the butter to a nonstick pan and heat over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, add the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue moving the eggs with a rubber spatula; after a few minutes, some curds will start forming. Keep stirring and scraping the pan until the eggs come together, are creamy and look almost like a custard. This process can take between 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Season with salt.
- To serve, spoon the eggs onto the toast. Top with freshly ground black pepper.

WOODLAND SCRAMBLED EGGS
Using sour cream adds some lightness to the eggs, but avoids the presence of free liquid that sometimes comes from using milk or water. Mushrooms are a natural flavor enhancer, so extra salt will not be needed. The set eggs could also be folded and stuffed like an omelet. Cooking is a Creative Sport.

This is my neighbor Bill's recipe. He made it while we were up at his cabin. Update- After looking at this again i realized that there is no amount specified for the seasoning salt. It has to be very small, just a quick dash.

CHRISTINE'S SCRAMBLED EGGS
I hate plain scrambled eggs, so I make these for my future hubby and me. I came up with this recipe after reading several other scrambled egg recipes. This is just a rough guess you can add whatever amount you want. We always add milk to our eggs to make them fluffy like the restaurants.
