Grandpa Farrells Scrambled Eggs Recipes

GRANDPA FARRELL'S SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in the cast iron pan.
• Beat up the eggs while cooking the bacon.
• Take the bacon out and pour off most of the grease.
• Dump the eggs into hot pan and stir off heat till done.

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.

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.

SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with a scant tablespoon water. Whisk only enough to mix. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
• Cook the eggs: Place 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. Lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Stir the eggs gently and constantly. Then, allow the eggs to cook 15 to 30 seconds, then stir again, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to keep the eggs moving.
• Finish: When cooked but still somewhat "soft", 2 to 3 minutes, sprinkle with a touch more salt. Stir and transfer to a serving dish so the eggs don't continue to cook in the hot pan.

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.

CHEF JOHN'S SUMMER SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Beat eggs and red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Stir tomatoes, feta, and basil leaves into egg mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat until oil starts to shimmer. Pour egg mixture into hot oil and cook, without stirring, for 5 seconds.
• Cook and stir egg mixture until eggs are scrambled and softly set, about 30 seconds. Transfer eggs to a plate and sprinkle with sea salt.

THE SECRET TO FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute bell pepper and mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk eggs with salt until completely combined and very foamy.
• Melt butter in another skillet over low heat until bubbling. Add eggs and stir frequently for even, moist curds, 2 to 3 minutes. Once eggs are thickened and creamy, but still shiny, add sauteed vegetables, and stir to incorporate. Remove scrambled eggs from the pan before they begin to look dry, as they will continue to thicken off the heat.

MARTHA'S SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk eggs well; season with salt and pepper. Toast and butter English muffin; place on a plate and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Melt clarified butter in a small or medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until large curds form and are just barely set, about 2 minutes. Transfer immediately to muffin halves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot, with asparagus and bacon.

MEAN CHEF'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, add 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and beat thoroughly with the whisk.
• Place a 2-3 qt saucepan with a tablespoon of butter over medium heat, swirling to film the bottom and sides.
• When the butter foams, pour all the eggs into hot pan and immediately being stirring with the whisk, clearing the thickening eggs from the sides and bottom of the pan and breaking up any lumps.
• Be sure to run the whisk around the bottom corners to dislodge any egg that may stick there.
• Cook for a minute or slightly more, steadily whisking, until the eggs are uniformly thickened but still quite soft, with very small and creamy curds.
• Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in another spoon of butter and 1 or 2 tablespoons of cream, and quickly spoon the eggs into a soft mound on a warm plate.
• Serve immediately with a garnish of your choice.
