Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

9 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or cream, plus a splash
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh marjoram or oregano
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 scallion, minced (green only)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Green Salad, recipe follows
1 head green, red or butter lettuce, torn into small pieces (5 cups mesclun salad mix)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs plus 1/4 cup of milk or cream until no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Over medium-low heat, melt butter in a large nonstick saute pan. Pour the eggs into a pan and using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs and cook over low heat. The eggs will turn creamy with soft curds. When the eggs have nearly lost the "raw look" toss in the marjoram, thyme, scallion, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper and stir to distribute. Once the eggs are no longer runny, but still very creamy and moist, immediately pour a little splash of milk (1 or 2 teaspoons) on the eggs to stop the cooking, and remove the eggs from the heat. Serve immediately with wedges of lemon as garnish and Green Salad.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard and the vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the green salad with the vinaigrette and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 12m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
6 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted French bread or brioche, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
  • Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside. Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks. (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)
  • Place 2 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked. (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.) The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS



Extra-Creamy Scrambled Eggs image

Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, easy, quick

Time 5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 teaspoons potato starch, tapioca starch or cornstarch
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
4 eggs (see Note)
Pinch of kosher salt

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.

CREAMY HERBED SCRAMBLED EGGS



Creamy Herbed Scrambled Eggs image

This is a versatile recipe for scrambled eggs that I threw together trying to use up leftover low fat 'Laughing Cow' spreadable cheese wedges since I had run out of crackers. The flavored cheese gives it a wonderful taste and texture. Ingredients could be added to suit your tastes and what you have on hand.

Provided by pheebess

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons diced onions
5 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 wedges of spreadable cheese (I use Laughing Cow, French Onion flavor, which are 3/4 oz each)
1 -2 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small non-stick pan over medium heat, and saute onions until soft and translucent.
  • Whisk together the eggs and milk and add to the pan, lowering the heat to medium-low. As the eggs cook, give them an occasional stir to shift the uncooked portions to the bottom.
  • Cut the cheese wedges into small cubes.
  • Once the eggs are a little more than half-way cooked through, add the parsley and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Keep a close eye on the eggs, gently stirring til cooked through. They should be solid, light and fluffy, but not dry.
