Simple Scrambled eggs
Equipment
- Non Stick frying pan or skillet 100% Nontoxic Made Without PFOA or Chemicals is what I use and recommend.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs** see NOTES
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1 tbsp milk regular or plant based
- sea salt and black pepper as needed
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
Optional Add Ons
- 2 tbsp Grated or goat cheese
- 1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
To Serve
- Salad greens
- Sliced fresh tomatoes
- sautéed Asparagus
- Toast
Instructions
- I normally place a slice of bread to toast in a toaster before I begin making the eggs, so they're ready simultaneously. Maybe prep an avocado too.
- Crack the eggs in a medium sized bowl, and whisk until the yolk and whites are thoroughly combined. If the eggs are in the fridge, leave them out on the counter for 30 minutes to bring it to room temperature.
- Add the milk, and whisk again! The beaten eggs should be an even yellow color, with no translucent spots or streaks.
- Warm the pan and add olive oil, or melt a little butter. Swirl to spread it evenly. Warm the skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture, and let it cook for a 8-10 seconds, undisturbed. Then, pull a rubber spatula across the bottom of the pan to form large, soft curds of scrambled eggs.
- Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds. Make sure to scrape your spatula along the bottom and sides of the pan to continue to form curds and to prevent any part of the eggs from drying out.
- For a soft, creamy scramble, stop when the eggs are mostly set, but a little liquid egg remains. It will continue cooking with the residual heat.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and season to taste with salt and pepper. The whole process will be done in under 5 minutes. Enjoy as is or garnished with suggested options.
Notes
When it comes to eggs quality matters. I was one of those people who rolled their eyes when people bragged about pasture raised, organic eggs. There is a huge difference in the quality of eggs. Color of the yolks matter. The bright orange are top of the range and are packed with nutrients, its achieved by allowing the chickens to run around in open spaces so they feed on bugs, insects, grains seeds etc. A healthy happy chicken eating nutritious diet, running around will produce quality eggs.
