Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Description
The Scrambled Eggs Recipe starts by whisking large eggs with heavy cream to create a smooth, rich mixture. Cooking gently over low heat in melted unsalted butter prevents overcooking and maintains a creamy, soft texture. The eggs are stirred continuously in small circles with a rubber spatula to form soft curds. The cooking time can be adjusted between 2-7 minutes to favor either a creamier or fluffier consistency.
Once cooked, the eggs are removed from heat and seasoned with salt, black pepper, and shredded cheese, which melts into the hot eggs, adding a layer of richness and flavor. This process avoids dry or rubbery eggs by careful temperature control and gentle stirring. The cheese selection offers mild, creamy notes that complement rather than overpower the eggs.
This basic method allows for multiple variations by incorporating ingredients like spinach, feta, tomato, green onions, peppers, chili, or cooked meats for different flavor profiles. It is suitable for breakfasts or quick meals when extra flavors are desired.
Ingredients
- 12 egg large
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack, shredded
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a large bowl.
- Add heavy cream and whisk together until smooth.
- Place butter in a skillet over low heat and let it melt. Add eggs to the skillet and slowly start cooking. Use a rubber spatula to mix eggs around in small circles while they cook.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes if you want your eggs to be more creamy and cook for 5-7 minutes a little bit longer if you want them fluffier.
- Turn the heat off and season eggs with salt, pepper and shredded cheese. Remove from the skillet once cheese is melted.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time to achieve desired creaminess or fluffiness.
- Customize by adding ingredients like spinach, feta, or cooked meats for flavor variations.
- Use low heat and gentle stirring to avoid overcooking and maintain soft texture.
