Easy Scrambled Eggs

 

I was born and raised in the south where milk is a popular ingredient in scrambled eggs.  It makes them soft and fluffy.   
 
However, if you prefer firm scrambled eggs, omit the milk.  
 
  
 
SEASON WITH WHITE OR BLACK PEPPER
 
Season with salt and coarse ground black pepper. 
 
 
If you prefer eggs without the dark spots from black pepper, consider using white pepper. 
 
Pepper Black or White
 
 

MELT BUTTER IN HOT SKILLET 

Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or use olive oil) in a skillet on top of the stove…

over low heat.   

Use LOW HEAT to avoid over cooking which causes a thick and dry texture.  

 

POUR EGG MISTURE INTO SKILLET WITH MELTED BUTTER 

Before pouring the egg mixture, make sure you have a spatula ready.  Eggs cook quickly and a spatula is required to quickly and lightly fold them while they cook… so they don’t get too dry. 

 

LIGHTLY FOLD EGGS… INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY STIRRING

Lightly fold scrambled eggs to create larger pieces. 

Do not stir.  Constant stirring will cause the eggs crumble into small pieces.  

 

Scramble the eggs by lightly folding with a spatula until preferred doneness.

BROWN & FIRM SCRAMBLED EGGS 

To make scrambled eggs with a brown crust, cook a minute longer. They will be firm instead of soft and fluffy.

To keep scrambled eggs hot, serve on a warm plate.

    That’s the way I make my scrambled eggs and I like them “dry” as opposed to “wet” as preferred by many people. You know it would be even better with a bit of bacon grease! But that’s the southern in me.

      Hi Carol! I also like “dry” scrambled eggs. Taste much better than the ‘wet” in my opinion! I also like ’em with brown edges. YUM!! Bacon grease definitely adds delicious flavor. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please come again!
