Best Killer Scrambled Eggs Recipes

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
• TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
• Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
• Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
• Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.

SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until the mixture is homogenous.
• Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture, then increase the heat to medium-high. Stir with a rubber spatula until curds begin to form. Lower the heat to low and add the creme fraiche and chives. Stir until the creme fraiche is fully incorporated and the eggs are just set.
• Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

THE PROPER SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with the egg yolk in a bowl until smooth and evenly yellow.
• Put the beaten eggs in a small saucepot with the butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring the entire time with a spatula. The eggs should begin to thicken; transferring them on and off the heat will allow you to control the temperature, creating soft creamy eggs. When the eggs start to become thick and soupy, season with salt and pepper. Return to the heat and cook until desired doneness is achieved; if you'd like them cooked more, simply apply more heat.
• Mix in the sour cream and garnish with chives if using.

BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS EVER

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs. Then, into a medium bowl, pass the eggs through a fine-mesh strainer. Add the half-and-half and whisk until smooth. Add the pepper and whisk until well combined.
• Heat a nonstick skillet on low heat and melt the butter. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, stir the egg mixture over low heat to create soft, creamy curds. Continue to cook until soft and creamy, then sprinkle in the salmon. Cook until light and fluffy. Serve, garnished with chives. Serve with a toasted bagel.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until light and frothy and uniform in color. Strain the eggs through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the creme fraiche.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat until it melts. Add the eggs and gently mix using a heat resistant rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until soft curds form.
• Remove from the heat (the eggs will still be somewhat wet), season with salt and pepper and let the heat of the pan finish cooking them for another 1 minute. Gently fold in any of the Optional Additions just as the eggs are coming off the heat, if using.

KILLER SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack 7 whole eggs into a medium bowl. Separate remaining egg. Add yolk to the bowl; reserve white for another use. Pour in milk. Whisk until thoroughly combined and bubbles form on top.
• Melt bacon grease in a pan over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture, followed by bacon bits. Cook and stir until set but still moist, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt.
