BROUILLADE OF MUSHROOMS (OR THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS YOU'LL EVER EAT)



Brouillade of Mushrooms (or the best scrambled eggs you'll ever eat) image

I love this recipe. The title makes it sound so much better than plain old scrambled eggs and appropriately so because it IS much better than just scrambling a few eggs in a pan, without any garnishes. And not much more work either...

Provided by Sackville

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 fresh eggs
2 tablespoons cream
10 mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork for one minute.
  • Add the cream, season with salt and pepper and beat for another minute.
  • Wipe the mushrooms and, keeping separate piles, dice eight of them and slice the other two.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a frying pan and fry the diced mushrooms for one minute.
  • Set aside on a plate.
  • Sauté the sliced mushrooms and place next to the diced mushrooms.
  • Heat the remaining butter in the pan and pour in the eggs.
  • Whisk in a steady movement from the edges of the pan to the centre over a medium heat for a few minutes, until the mixture is smooth and creamy but still fairly liquid.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the diced mushrooms, garlic and parsley and return to a high heat for a few seconds, stirring until the mixture is thick like custard.
  • Pour into a warm shallow dish or individual dishes.

  • Serve with a nice, hearty, buttered toast.

THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS



The Best Scrambled Eggs image

For silky, outrageously good scrambled eggs, cook them low and slow. This method, which Mark Bittman learned from James Beard, is very low and very slow: you place the eggs over very low heat, stirring frequently, breaking up the curds as they form. The results are without compare. Make them for breakfast on the weekend, while the coffee brews and the bacon fries.

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cream
2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them, just until the yolks and whites are combined. Season with salt and pepper and beat in the cream.
  • Put a medium skillet, preferably non-stick, over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the butter or oil and swirl it around the pan. After the butter melts, but before it foams, turn the heat to low.
  • Add the eggs to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. At first nothing will happen; after 10 minutes or so, the eggs will begin to form curds. Do not lose patience: Keep stirring, breaking up the curds as they form, until the mixture is a mass of soft curds. This will take 30 minutes or more. Serve immediately.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

SCRAMBLED EGGS
4 large eggs
1/4 c water
salt and pepper to taste
FOR FRYING
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Briskly beat the eggs, salt, pepper and water together with a fork or wire whisk (about 1 minute).
  • 2. Put oil in skillet to coat the pan well. Add butter. Heat the skillet, when butter is melted, use spatula to spread it around skillet. Add the eggs.
  • 3. Cook the eggs over medium heat. Gently push and turn over the eggs as they solidify. Don't over cook or brown! The eggs should be very moist, fluffy, cooked and not look dry at all.
  • 4. *** I make these frequently, and this is enough eggs for my family for breakfast! We also make breakfast tacos and breakfast sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results. Older eggs may be watery and less flavorful.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the eggs from sticking and make it easier to clean up.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat: Medium heat will help the eggs cook evenly without burning.
  • Add butter or oil to the skillet: Butter or oil will help prevent the eggs from sticking and add flavor.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl before cooking: Beating the eggs will help them cook evenly and make them more fluffy.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are the classic seasonings for scrambled eggs, but you can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Cook the eggs until they are just set: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just set, then remove them from the heat.
  • Serve the eggs immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Scrambled eggs are a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are also a great way to use up leftover eggs. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give scrambled eggs a try.
