EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
- Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, toss greens with oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside. In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs, chives, pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup water until blended.
- In nonstick, 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture to skillet. As egg mixture begins to set around edge, move it gently toward center to allow uncooked egg to flow toward side of pan. When eggs are partially cooked, add cream cheese and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until egg mixture is set but still mosit, about 1 minute.
- To serve, divide greens about four dinner plates. Place two toast halves on each plate, spoon eggs over toast.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, beat eggs, chives, salt and pepper with fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
- In 10-inch skillet, heat milk and butter over medium heat just until butter melts and liquid is steaming. Pour egg mixture into skillet.*
- As mixture heats, portions of eggs will begin to set. Gently push cooked portions with metal spatula to the outside edge of skillet. Avoid stirring constantly. As more egg sets, push it to the edge as well and stack it on top of the set egg mixture already there. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
