Scrampled Eggs

[rtaylor61]

Scrambled Eggs. The most simple thing anyone can learn to make. Yet, properly made, they are very complex. A number of top Chefs will challenge new hires with the simple request. How do you scramble your eggs? And yes, this can be a trick question!

I've been making scrambled eggs every morning for about a month, for both myself and SWMBO. I find that a proper amount of milk, a good stir, and a hot skillet make the best scrambled eggs.

Once they're in the skillet, I let them cook for as long as it takes to wash out the bowl I stirred them in. Then I use a bamboo spatula to move the eggs around a bit and "chop" them up until they're done cooking.

Add a bit of hot sauce, cracked pepper, and enjoy.

Eggs, milk, cream of tartar, a pinch of sea salt, and some fresh ground pepper whisked until just frothy. Cast iron skillet and a wooden spatula. Done.

Just eggs, salt, black pepper and I move them till it's cooked.
I serve aside smoked salmon slices and buttered toasted bread.
Nice for a late sunday breakfast

Eggs and a splash of milk. Wisk until frothy. 1 Tbsp butter melted in a skillet. Move eggs to center of pan using a wooden spatula. Don't overcook.

Salt and pepper to taste afterward.

You may use cream of tartar 1/8 tsp per egg added just before wisking. It adds to the density of the eggs, but not the taste. It also makes the eggs more yellow.

I cook with eggs, water, sea salt, and a bit of shredded medium cheddar.

Get the proportion of cheese right and you won't notice the cheese. However, it'll make them simply delicious. You can also slip a little sour cream in to great effect.

Cool Post.

I grease the pan with butter, lard, or bacon grease, and I let them cook on the lowest temperature until they're just set (or slightly undercooked, even). Delish, my friends.

I have been messing with scrambled eggs for a while now. The best way I have found to cook it is;

- heat the pan and drop in some butter (not any kind of oil)
- once the butter melts, add your eggs and leave them for a minute
- stir the eggs so that you dislodge the bottom bits that are half cooked
- let it rest a minute and stir again
- when its almost cooked, but still slightly raw, turn off the heat and remove from stove
- let it sit to finish cooking in its own heat

Its a bit of trial and error to work out exactly when its ready to remove from the heat with still enough warmth to finish cooking, but once you get it down you will have the most creamiest, melt in your mouth, scrambled eggs you have ever had.

This is how I cook them. With some variations between home and work.
At work we use oil, home I use butter.
Low heat is the key. I can't stand scrambled eggs that start to caramelize.

Pretty much how I cook them too. Only difference is that I wait until the butter sizzles and begins to subside before adding the eggs. Then the technique becomes much like making a classic omlette, with less concern for the final shape.

i add tabasco to my egg&milk concoction, then add lots of cheese

 

[BrianL]

Two eggs, a squirt of water, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Wisk with a fork until frothy. Pan with bacon grease and medium heat, gently stir eggs with a fork until ready. Add more salt and enjoy.

Yep, it's as simple as this.....love'em....

 

[mkevenson]

Hmmmm. Many of the better cooks recommend a very low heat, I have done it that way and it takes a looong time. I take 2 eggs add 1 tbs 1/2 & 1/2 mix with fork lightly. Heat skillet to med-med high usually with bacon drippings , pour egg mix into pan stirring constantly. Add Kosher salt and pepper while cooking. Remove from pan while still moist. On plate add a dab of real unsalted butter, perhaps smokey paprika. To garnish with green onion stalks, cut very fine.

Depends. If I'm just making them at home, beat with fork, hot pan, and butter. If I'm going camping I will beat them prior to leaving, put them in a Ziplock freezer bag, then double up that bag, throw them in the freezer and let them freeze. Then when I pack the cooler just toss them in. When I'm cooking them just take the now thawed eggs out and throw them into a pot of boiling water. It's so easy and no extra cleanup in the woods!!

It's really easy to make scrambled eggs,
1. Pick up the in-house phone and buzz the kitchen staff
2. When they answer, say "Two eggs, scrambled with the usual"
3. Take a shower, and when you get out, Charles will have delivered them to the bedroom.

I bet this tastes great but your arteries might not love you back for it.

I'm beginning to think that the less fat in your diet the more your body overcompensates and tries to keep every ounce you take it. So I decided, as of now, no more low fat crap. What good is living if you can't enjoy it?

I put the eggs in a bowl, add salt, pepper, milk and a bit of butter, wisk. Then I will put butter on a hot skillet and drop them in till they look done. I usually make mine into a folded sheet, almost like an omlet rather than chop them up.
