Scrambled Eggs
Description
Scrambled Eggs are prepared by whisking whole eggs with milk, salt, and pepper, then cooking them over low to medium-low heat with butter to prevent rubberiness and browning. Constant gentle folding encourages large soft curds and a light texture. Adding shredded cheese as the eggs start to form curds allows it to melt smoothly into the mixture.
The technique focuses on cooking eggs slowly to preserve moisture and softness rather than dry or rubbery texture. The milk contributes slight creaminess and fluffiness, but it can be omitted if preferred.
These eggs are best served immediately to retain their tender texture. They pair well with a variety of savory additions like fresh herbs, salsa, or hot sauce, allowing customization to taste.
Keeping serving plates ready ensures quick plating to prevent overcooking from residual heat. Whisking eggs thoroughly just before cooking helps incorporate air, enhancing lightness.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 1 Tbsp milk
- cheese optional, shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tsp butter
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk eggs, milk and salt and pepper until just blended.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until hot. Add butter and let melt. Pour egg mixture into skillet. As eggs begin to set, gently pull the eggs across the pan with a spatula forming large, soft curds. Let the uncooked eggs flood the area you just pulled back. Low heat is the key here. You need to cook your eggs on a low heat so they are light and luffy instead of rubbery if cook them to quickly.
- If you are adding cheese add it as the eggs start to form the large soft curds so it melts right into the eggs. Continue to pull the eggs across skillet, until thickened. They are done when no visible liquid egg mixture remains. DO NOT OVER COOK. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly immediately before cooking to incorporate air for fluffy texture.
- Cook on low to medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs and browning.
- Add shredded cheese as curds form so it melts smoothly.
- Serve immediately to prevent overcooking from residual heat in the pan.
