How To Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs Recipes

HOW TO MAKE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• If you plan on adding cheese to your eggs, make sure that the cheese is shredded/prepared and set aside so you can add it to the non-stick skillet quickly. Place your skillet on the stovetop and turn on the heat. I leave the heat somewhere between medium low and medium, so it warms up but doesn't get too hot.
• Meanwhile, prepare your eggs. Break them into a bowl with a tablespoon of milk, half and half, or water (I prefer half and half or milk). Add some salt and pepper - I typically add about 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt and a few turns of black pepper. You might use more or less according to taste. If you're dairy intolerant or don't like the taste of milk, feel free to use water - but don't skip adding a little liquid, as it helps to add fluffiness to the scramble. I personally love the way creamy half and half enhances the flavor of the eggs.
• Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs briskly for 30-60 seconds, making sure the eggs are fully broken up and mixed well with the milk and the seasonings. Use a little elbow grease here, the more you whip it the better.
• Lightly grease your hot skillet, coating the surface with a thin layer of oil or butter. I typically use butter, but only if the skillet isn't very hot - butter has a low smoke point, which means it burns easily. If the skillet has heated up a lot, try using ghee, avocado oil, or something with a higher smoke point. If using nonstick spray oil, use caution and keep it away from any open gas flames.Pour the eggs into the skillet. Keep the heat on medium/medium low, you don't want to rush it here-- if the skillet is too hot the eggs will cook too quickly and become rubbery. Once you pour the eggs in they will begin to cook immediately. Using a spatula (I use a wooden or silicone spatula so I won't damage my pan's nonstick coating), begin pulling the cooked outer edges in towards the center of the eggs. Uncooked eggs will flood the area you just pulled back. If you are adding cheese, now is the time to sprinkle it into the skillet. This will allow ample time for the cheese to melt and integrate into the eggs.
• Move the spatula around the edge of the skillet, pulling the cooked edges towards the center and re-flooding repeatedly. Cooked scrambled eggs will gather in the center of the skillet.
• At a certain point, the uncooked eggs will no longer flood and the scramble will all collect in the center of the skillet, but it will still be slightly runny in texture. Begin breaking up the scramble; quickly turn undercooked areas and keep the scramble moving to make sure that all surfaces cook evenly. Never leave a surface in contact too long with the skillet or it will become overcooked.
• Turn off the heat when the eggs are about 90% cooked. When the eggs are done, serve immediately. Perfectly cooked scrambled eggs are moist but not runny, with no crisp or brown edges. This technique may take a bit of practice, but it is quite simple. With time you too will be making and serving moist, fluffy scrambled eggs!

HOW TO MAKE FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Invest in a nonstick pan. Avoid using cast-iron or stainless steel pans when you cook your eggs-they're much more likely to stick and burn. Use a small nonstick pan for cooking 1-4 eggs, a medium sized nonstick pan for 4-6 eggs, and a large nonstick pans for 6 or more eggs. Don't use metal utensils in a nonstick pan, as they will scrape and scratch the nonstick coating.
• Stir your eggs with a silicone spatula. Avoid using metal utensils, wooden spoons, or any utensil that has a firm edge because they won't be able to fully scrape the sides of the pan as you cook. When you stir, make sure to scrape the sides of the pan, the bottom, and especially that little corner where the sides connect to the bottom. If you don't have a silicone spatula, a wooden spoon is the next best option; it's less likely to scratch your non-stick pan than a metal utensil.
• Add milk, cream, or crème fraîche for creamier, fluffier eggs. Add more liquid if you want your eggs to be creamier, and less liquid if you prefer a firmer scrambled egg. Use about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of liquid per egg you are cooking. Whole milk and cream give a better texture to scrambled eggs than non-fat milk.
• Season your eggs right before they finish cooking. Wait until your eggs are just a little bit runny still, and then sprinkle on your salt and pepper. Some cooking aficionados claim that seasoning the eggs too early will make them watery and rubbery. Some experts say to season the eggs before they even go into the hot pan. This is one of those areas where you'll have to test it out to see what you like the best, as there is more than 1 way you can season your eggs.
• Crack the eggs directly into the pan. Or don't. This is another area where experts are split. Try it out both ways-cook scrambled eggs by cracking the eggs directing into the pan, and cook them by cracking them into a bowl and whisking them together there first. Try it out to see which method you prefer, then you can speak with confidence when making your own scrambled eggs.
• Remove the eggs from the heat right before they finish cooking. When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, take them off the heat. The residual warmth from the pan will finish cooking the eggs the entire way, whereas if you left them on the burner a little longer, they would start to dry out and get less fluffy. If you accidentally take your eggs off the heat too soon, just turn your burner back on and continue cooking the eggs for another minute.
• Add in tasty toppings, like cheese, chives, or even chopped olives. Wait to add your toppings until you've removed the eggs from the heat. Then, just before you transfer the eggs to your plate, sprinkle your topping onto the eggs. For cheese, the heat from the eggs will help it melt and meld to the eggs. If you're hosting a brunch, you could even have a variety of toppings available for your guests to choose from, like chopped ham, olives, shredded cheese, fresh basil, chives, and a myriad of hot sauces.

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.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT, FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Crack the eggs into a glass mixing bowl and beat them until they turn a pale yellow color.
• Add the milk to the eggs and season to taste with salt and white pepper. Whisk the eggs like crazy. If you're not up for that, you can use an electric beater or stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whatever device you use, you're trying to beat as much air as possible into the eggs. Note that it may be easier and quicker to beat the eggs in two batches (4 at a time) to make sure you don't have any lumps.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed, nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
• When the butter in the pan is hot enough to make a drop of water hiss, pour in the eggs. Don't stir. Let the eggs cook for up to a minute or until the bottom starts to set but doesn't brown.
• With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push one edge of the egg into the center while tilting the pan to allow the still liquid egg to flow in underneath. Repeat with the other edges, until there's no liquid left.
• Turn off the heat and continue gently stirring and turning the egg until all the uncooked parts become firm. Don't break up the egg, keeping the curds as large as possible. If you're adding any other ingredients, quickly add them now.
• Transfer to a plate when the eggs are set but still moist and soft. Eggs are delicate, so they'll continue to cook for a few moments after they're on the plate. Serve immediately and enjoy.

SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

EASY FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl with a fork. Add milk, salt, and pepper; beat until well mixed.
• Coat a small skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into hot skillet; cook and stir until eggs are set, 3 to 5 minutes.

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.

FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Beat 1 Tbsp. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread and eggs with fork or wire whisk in medium bowl about 2 minutes (small lumps of Spread will remain in egg mixture).
• Heat remaining Tbsp. spread in nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted. Add egg mixture to skillet and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until eggs are thoroughly cooked, about 2 minutes.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
• Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
• Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.
