Scrambled eggs

[redneck1]

Scrambled eggs ... Simple right ?
Well yea , except your doing them wrong . oh sure deny it all you want
But about 90% of you are .

So how do you make them correctly you might be wondering with a bit of
Scorn for my rather bold statement .

Well rest assured making them right is still easy .
All you need is eggs , REAL BUTTER ! , salt and pepper .

Let's start with 4 eggs .. Crack them in a bowl and beat well .
Season to taste with salt n pepper . go light the first time you make these though .

Next put your skillet on medium low heat ... Err on the low side
Heat is not your friend with scrambled eggs .
Then .... And this is important . put your butter in the pan
3 table spoons to be exact , and when in doubt add more .
Then just as soon as your butter is melted add your eggs .

Grab a spoon and start slowly stirring your eggs and don't stop
Till they are done ... And please don't over cook them .
They should look kinda runny without being runny . . don't worry you'll know it when you see it .

Dump them on a plate and enjoy ... Be prepared to make a second batch if there happens to be anyone else your cooking for .
Because you'll likely wolf down the first ones before you know what your doing .

Obviously these aren't what I'd call healthy so save them for Sunday breakfast .
And dont forget to use real butter .....

I used to make them like that with butter if I didn't have any bacon grease.

To make them 'fluffy': Add about 10% or so milk by volume, and run them in a high speed mixer for a minute or two.
Only flip them a couple times so they end up in a pile rather than a bunch of little chunks.

Something I haven't tried, but looks pretty good from watching youtube videos is an Asian 'Tornado omlett'.

Exactly the way I make mine.

[Walks]

WOW !

Simple instructions, wrong !!

Hot pan w/bacon grease, 8" for 2 eggs, 10" 3-4 eggs, 12" 4-6 eggs and whip them up fast and hard.
Pour into pan, 10seconds then roll with silicone spatula, another 10seconds and Easy is done, med is 10 more seconds, 10 more seconds are Hard.

You'd never make it in a Hash house with that way.

Forgot the tablespoon of milk.

[Minerat]

If your going to do them without milk, might as well just cook them over easy then you don't have to mess with the stirring.

Instead of milk, I use a little bit of water. They come out fluffier

Do not season to taste before cooking.

You left out crushed red pepper flakes. Or saute onion, chopped green pepper, halved cherry tomatoes and any other ingredients you like and have an omlet.

To make eggs here this morning, it's going to be more work. First I have to thaw out the chickens to get some frozen eggs. It's 3 degrees outside now, a little early for winter.

I never mix the eggs when I scramble them, I let the whites cook a bit before I bust the yolk and let it cook a bit as well. Once they are mostly cooked, then I mix up the eggs a bit and serve. As to the seasonings, depends on who I am making them for, mostly just salt and pepper with regular vegetable oil. If making bacon, or sausage, as well, then they get cooked in the leftover fat, and they do taste better that way IMO, but I also like putting some pico the gallo (salsa) over them to spice things up, so the extra flavor isn't entirely needed.

You’re doing it wrong, 4 eggs, salt, pepper, and milk (equal to the depth of the eggs) put in the skillet and stir until (well, you got this part right) they’re not runny, put on plate salt and pepper to taste.

Oh, my! So many right ways to do it.

[woodbutcher]

And if you want them REALLY fluffy add in a bit of baking powder.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

3 eggs in an empty cool-whip container. Break the yolks and stir them up. Add some diced onion, some diced green pepper, a dab of diced jalapeno, salt and pepper. Microwave for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Quick and easy, and no, not as good as from the skillet, but a lot less mess to clean up.

Milk in scrambled eggs will make them watery.

Water will make them fluffier

Splash of beer makes them fluffier and tastier! Cook gets the rest of the beer for that Sunday hangover cure.

Heat the butter until it foams then add the eggs.

S&P like you would on a fried egg, comes out perfect then.

I happen to prefer my scrambled eggs done and set, proper way is slightly soft/runny but runny egg white is gross to me, set that stuff solid!

I never thought milk made them any better, but for sure add a little water that turns to steam and makes them nice and fluffy. Be sure to beat them really well. I like the skillet hot and use a little bacon grease that doesn’t burn like butter. When they are just about done is when I add the butter. Plenty of it now that it’s been found out it ok(healthy in fact). Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

I have my own chickens so plenty of eggs. I eat six a day myself. I’ve started using twice the amount of eggs, but removing half or a little more of the egg whites. The yolks are where all the taste and good stuff is. The whites are more or less filler. The scrambled eggs come out much richer and tastier. Give it a try if you don’t believe me. You won’t go back.

Yuppers. This.

Neat little trick I learned sometime back, if your camping/hunting, crack eggs into quart or sandwich plastic bag, as many as you desire. Add tbsp milk per egg, and anything else you want--ham, cheese, onions, peppers, etc. Onions and peppers can be dehydrated variety. Close the bag up tight, massage it to break the eggs and mix all ingredients. Put in the cooler and when ready to use, boil water in an appropriate size pot, drop bags in, and go for 15-20 minutes--quick omelets.

I can't say I expected a different reaction ... I didn't .

But I will say that you should try them my way at least once .
You don't know what your missing .
