Ingredients

  • 15 large eggs
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt or 1 tablespoon Knorr Chicken Bouillon , adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon granulated garlic , optional
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ⅓ cup milk or half and half
  • ¼ cup green onion or chives , chopped, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pepper, salt, milk, and granulated garlic if using. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a wide nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook, folding it almost constantly with a rubber spatula to form large curds, for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off 30 seconds before the eggs reach your desired doneness; the residual heat will finish cooking them for you.
  2. When the eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the chopped green onion or chives, if using. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • How to Store & Re-Heat
  • How to Store & Re-Heat
  • To store: Scrambled eggs, allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer the cooked eggs to an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap. Place the container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It's important to note that scrambled eggs tend to lose their texture and become slightly watery when stored, so they are best enjoyed fresh.

  • To reheat: Scrambled eggs, you can use a few methods. One common method is to reheat them in the microwave. Place the desired portion of scrambled eggs in a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Heat on medium power for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the eggs are heated. Be careful not to overheat, as this can result in rubbery eggs.
