Best Extra Moist Scrambled Eggs With Chives Recipes

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHERVIL AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a metal mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, chives, and chervil. Add the butter and cream cheese to the egg mixture and place the bowl over the saucepan with simmering water; the bowl should not be touching the water. (This is a French technique called a bain marie, or water bath.) Season eggs with salt, and stir with a rubber spatula until the eggs look softly scrambled, 2-3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat and continue to stir until the eggs are soft but set. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with sage blossoms (optional), and serve.

CHIVE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and salt.
• Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat and add butter. When butter has melted and the foam subsides, pour eggs into pan. When eggs begin to set along edges, pull them to center of pan with a spatula and tilt pan to draw uncooked eggs out. Turn eggs over a few times until they are no longer runny but are still wet. The entire cooking process will take less than 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer eggs to a plate, sprinkle with chives, and serve immediately.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH FRESH RICOTTA AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, chopped chives, and 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel in medium bowl until well blended. Melt butter in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides, add eggs and stir with heatproof silicone spatula until eggs are almost cooked but still runny in parts, tilting skillet and stirring with spatula to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add ricotta and stir just until incorporated but clumps of cheese are still visible.
• Arrange 2 toasts or 4 baguette slices on each of 2 plates. Spoon scrambled eggs atop toasts. Sprinkle with more fleur de sel and pepper. Garnish with whole chives, if desired.
• Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS

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.
