Best 5 Southern Egg Scrambled Breakfast Recipes

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

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 large bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir in onion, ham, cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan or skillet over medium high heat. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, until eggs begin to set. At that point, stir the eggs until roughly scrambled. Keep doing this until eggs are fully cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

SCRAMBLED EGG AND SAUSAGE BREAKFAST BOWL

• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a separate pan. Add sausage, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and seasoned salt. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and sausage is browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Divide scrambled eggs between 2 bowls. Place sausage mixture over the eggs. Drizzle pan drippings on top. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the bowls to create a crust.
