SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH AVOCADO



Soft Scrambled Eggs With Avocado image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cream and whisk until the eggs look foamy and light. Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter until it foams, then turn the heat down to low and slowly pour in the eggs. Using a heat resistant rubber spatula, slowly stir the eggs from the outside of the pan to the center. Once the eggs begin to set, stirring slowly will create large, cloud-like curds. This sounds easy but perfect scrambled eggs that are soft and custard-like with no brown color are a sign of a really good cook. This process takes about 10 minutes. Season the eggs with a few cranks of black pepper and good salt, like fleur de sel. Serve with a few slices of avocado and a little chopped fresh chive.

Crab-and-Avocado Eggs Benedict image

Cold eggs hold their shape better than room-temperature eggs when poaching. If using farm-fresh eggs that have not been refrigerated, chill them for about 1 hour before poaching, if desired.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 large egg yolks, plus 4 whole eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
2 English muffins, split
8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon, egg yolks, and 3 tablespoons water in a heatproof bowl. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Very slowly drizzle into lemon mixture, whisking constantly, then season with salt and pepper. Return to saucepan; set aside.
  • Bring 1 inch water and vinegar to a simmer in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Meanwhile, mash avocado in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toast muffins and spread avocado onto split sides; top with crab. Gently crack eggs into simmering water. Simmer until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; let drain 30 seconds, then place atop crab. Warm Hollandaise over low, whisking constantly (do not let boil), until thickened slightly and heated through, 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in tarragon, and spoon evenly over eggs. Serve immediately.

This savory and hearty brunch tower is not only full of flavor but the presentation is restaurant quality. Poached eggs have a great texture and appearance. Many people are intimidated by poaching eggs, but trust me, it's super easy when you follow my simple method.

Provided by Danielle Sepsy

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1/2 jalapeno, seeded, deveined and finely chopped (or more, if desired)
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
Salted butter, for frying
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons white vinegar or rice vinegar
2 ripe medium avocados
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 very ripe, medium tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
6 to 8 ounces smoked salmon (I use nova)
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the corn cakes: Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature setting.
  • Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the egg, buttermilk and oil in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture along with the jalapeno and cilantro. Whisk just until combined to make a batter.
  • Add a pat of butter to a griddle or large skillet. Heat over medium heat until the surface is hot and the butter is melted. Working in batches and adding more butter as needed, pour about 1/4 cup batter to form each 4- to 5-inch pancake; cook until bubbles form on the top and the bottoms are golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook on the other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the corn cakes to a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, poach the eggs (see Cook's Note): Bring a large pot of water to almost a boil. Add the vinegar, which will help the eggs set.
  • Swirl the simmering water, then gently crack each egg into a small bowl and release right above the surface of the water. This is very important in order to prevent them from breaking and to achieve the proper consistency.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, cover and let stand until the egg whites are fully cooked and the egg looks like a smooth ball, about 4 minutes. You want the yolks to be runny!
  • Remove each poached egg with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • While the eggs poach, prepare the toppings: Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve: Dollop about 1 tablespoon (or more, if you like) mashed avocado onto each corn cake. Top with 1 slice of tomato and a poached egg. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Drape a nicely folded piece of smoked salmon (about 1 ounce for each cake) over the top and garnish with black pepper and cilantro sprigs. Serve and enjoy!
