Scrambled egg poppers, also known as scotch eggs, are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be easily prepared at home. This delightful dish consists of a soft-boiled egg wrapped in a layer of savory sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried until golden brown. As you bite into the crispy outer layer, you'll be greeted with a warm and runny egg yolk that perfectly complements the flavorful sausage.

SCRAMBLED PEPPERS AND EGGS



Scrambled Peppers and Eggs image

As in many Mark Bittman recipes, the idea here is more vegetables -- in this case, peppers -- than protein. It works because except for the jalapeño, none of the peppers is hot.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 0

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.

POACHED SCRAMBLED EGGS



Poached Scrambled Eggs image

Take your scrambled eggs to the next level by poaching them! The gentle heat from the water creates a delicate, soft, pillowy egg for an extra-special breakfast experience.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small bowl and whisk with a fork until frothy. Set aside.
  • Add about 2 inches of water to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer (about 190 degrees F) over medium heat. Small tiny bubbles should come up to the surface, but not large bursting ones.
  • Stir the water vigorously with a small whisk several times in a circular motion so it creates a whirlpool. Immediately pour in the eggs. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat and let stand until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes.
  • Lift the eggs out with a fine-mesh sieve and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to a serving plate and season with salt and pepper.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS



Extra-Creamy Scrambled Eggs image

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.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, easy, quick

Time 5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 teaspoons potato starch, tapioca starch or cornstarch
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
4 eggs (see Note)
Pinch of kosher salt

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.
