Making scrambled eggs is one of the most important things to learn because they are delicious and inexpensive. First, beat the eggs in a bowl, then melt a little butter in a flat pan, then pour the eggs into them. Stir the eggs constantly until they start to clump together. Cook the eggs until they are as firm as you like and enjoy them while they are still hot and soft.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs per person
- 1 teaspoon (4.5 g) butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For approx 1 serving
Step
Method 1 of 3: Making Scrambled Eggs on the Stove
Step 1. Beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork or an egg beater
Decide how many servings you will make. The serving of one person requires 2 eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat until the whites and yolks are combined.
To prevent eggshell shards from getting in, break the eggs on a flat surface, not the rim of the bowl
Do you know?
Season the eggs with salt at this point to keep them soft, but adding salt before starting to cook may turn the eggs slightly gray.
Step 2. Heat the butter in a flat skillet over medium-high heat
Place 1 teaspoon (4.5 g) of butter in a flat nonstick skillet and turn the stove on to medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to heat for about 1 minute to allow the butter to melt and slightly foam. Tilt and turn the pan so that the butter can coat the bottom and edges of the pan.
- If you prefer, use olive or coconut oil instead of butter.
- If you want to make soft scrambled eggs, don't heat the butter in the pan. Instead, pour the eggs into a flat pan and add the butter at the same time.
Step 3. Pour the eggs into a flat pan and then turn on the stove over low heat
Slowly pour the beaten eggs into a flat pan. You will hear a soft hiss as the egg hits the pan. Then reduce the heat so the eggs don't cook too quickly.
Step 4. Scramble and cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes
Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to stir the eggs constantly as they cook. Continue to scramble the eggs until they clump together and fall off the edges of the pan. If you prefer denser scrambled eggs, cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes.
To get soft eggs, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the eggs for about 30 seconds. Alternate between cooking and whisking the eggs on the stove and removing them from the heat until the eggs form soft lumps
Tip:
If you like scrambled eggs with small lumps, stir or scramble the eggs quickly while cooking them. For larger lumps, stir gently and gently so the eggs don't crack too much.
Step 5. Serve the scrambled eggs immediately to get the best texture
Turn off the stove and immediately transfer the eggs to a serving plate before they cool. Sprinkle the eggs with additional seasonings, such as salt, pepper, or fresh herbs. Then serve the eggs with toast, bacon, or fresh fruit.
Scrambled eggs cannot be stored for long as they will be runny if stored
Method 2 of 3: Cooking Scrambled Eggs in the Microwave
Step 1. Put the eggs and seasonings in a microwave-safe bowl
Take a bowl with a round bottom and break 2 eggs into it. Sprinkle salt and pepper in it.
For added flavor, use your favorite seasoning instead of salt and pepper
Step 2. Beat the eggs and seasonings until well blended
Use a small egg beater or a fork to beat the eggs and seasonings. Keep beating until the egg yolks are mixed with the whites.
Step 3. Microwave the eggs for 1 1/2 minutes on high heat
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat the eggs for 30 seconds. Stop the microwave and stir the eggs before heating the eggs for another 30 seconds. Stop the microwave and beat the eggs again before you heat the eggs for the last 30 seconds.
The eggs will form lumps and be cooked through before you finish cooking
Step 4. Add a little butter to add flavor
Remove the bowl from the microwave and enjoy the eggs while they are still hot. If you like eggs with a buttery taste, add 1 teaspoon (4.5 g) of butter until the butter is melted.
Tip:
If you want to add fresh herbs, mix them with the eggs that have been cooked. Try parsley, chives, or basil.
Method 3 of 3: Trying Different Variations
Step 1. Put a little milk product into the scrambled eggs to make it softer (creamy)
To prevent the eggs from continuing to cook and enrich the taste, add a large tablespoon of cold milk product. For example, add cream cheese, sour cream (sour cream), creme fraiche, mascarpone, or cottage cheese.
If you're using cream cheese, melt it in the microwave for about 10 to 20 seconds. This will prevent the cheese from clumping in the scrambled eggs
Step 2. Add your favorite cheese to enrich the taste
Some people like to add a handful of grated cheese to a beaten egg while others like to put cheese on top of a cooked egg. Use one type of cheese or your favorite combination of cheeses. Try these cheeses:
- Cheddar
- Mozzarella
- Feta
- Goat's milk cheese
- Parmesan
- Smoked gouda
Step 3. Add and stir the meat for added savory taste
If you want to add raw meat, such as uncooked bacon or chorizo, cook it in a flat pan before pouring in the eggs. If you are using cooked meat, dip some of the meat into the eggs about 1 minute before cooking. This is to give the meat a chance to heat up.
Meat Options:
Bacon
Ham
Chorizo or sausage
Smoked Salmon
Step 4. Add fresh herbs for a fresher taste
Chop a few stalks of fresh herbs and add them to the hard-boiled eggs. Use one type or combination of your favorite herbs, such as fennel, oregano, basil, parsley, or chives.
To get a strong, herbaceous taste more quickly, add enough fresh pesto. Remember, this can change the color of the scrambled eggs
Step 5. Garnish the eggs with your favorite sauce or spices for a unique taste
Once the scrambled eggs have been placed on a serving plate, sprinkle with a little spice instead of salt and pepper. For example, use a spice mix like za'atar or garam masala. You can also put a sauce on the eggs, such as sriracha, salsa verde, soy sauce, or english sauce.
For a simple and intense topping, sprinkle a little ketchup on the scrambled eggs
Tips
- Make as many scrambled eggs as you like. Remember, if you're cooking a lot of eggs, you'll need a wide, flat pan or you'll need to cook several batches.
- Although adding milk to eggs is common, most chefs or cooks agree that it's actually not good. The milk, or any liquid added, will cause the eggs to separate before they are cooked, resulting in dry, tough scrambled eggs.
