PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

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.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS



Perfect Scrambled Eggs image

Easiest thing in the world, right? And sure, anyone can scramble eggs, but Perfect Scrambled Eggs...there are a few tricks of the trade: first, use a nonstick pan. Second, cook over low heat. Give yourself a little time. Third, undercook them! Cut the flame just before you think your eggs are done and let the carry-over heat finish cooking them. Fourth, butter. Lots of butter. That plus a touch of creme fraiche. Fifth, do not season with salt until the very end. Follow these rules and you will never have flabby, rubbery scrambled eggs again.

SCRAMBLED EGGS (KINDA LIKE CRACKER BARREL'S)



Scrambled Eggs (Kinda Like Cracker Barrel's) image

I tried this this morning with biscuits. It's based on an omelet-making technique I saw on TV not too long ago. It's basically a filling-less omelet for one. It reminds me of the scrambled eggs I always get at Cracker Barrel.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 1 egg, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon margarine (approx.) or 1 butter (approx.)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Beat egg(s) with water in a small bowl and put in the refrigerator.
  • Melt about a teaspoon of margarine or butter in a small pan over medium-high heat until VERY hot. (The cooking show I based this on said to let it heat until you are basically scared to let it get any hotter.).
  • Pour refrigerated egg(s) into hot pan, and begin stirring lightly with a spatula to stop eggs from burning. (A little brown is okay; just fold it into the inside of the egg.).
  • When eggs have reached your preferred consistency, fold and remove from pan to a plate.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Beat the eggs thoroughly before cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the eggs over medium heat to prevent them from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Stir the eggs constantly while cooking to prevent them from sticking to the pan and to create small, fluffy curds.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add additional ingredients, such as cheese, ham, bacon, or vegetables, to taste.
  • Serve the eggs immediately while they are still hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Scrambled eggs are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast, brunch, or lunch option. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and versatile meal, give scrambled eggs a try.
