Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 large eggs
1 cup milk (cream, or half and half)
2 & 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup butter ((1 stick))
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese
green onions (or chives, to garnish (optional))
shredded cheddar cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a blender, add eggs, milk, and all the spices (salt, pepper, garlic, onion, mustard, seasoning salt, cayenne.) Make sure you have a big blender! Mine went over the 4 cup capacity at around 20 eggs and then I was too scared to add more so I just whisked them in. You could of course just skip blending and whisk them all in a bowl. Whatever sounds easier to you!
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a 12 inch high-sided skillet over medium heat. When it is nice and hot, pour in the egg mixture. Lower the heat to medium-low. You have to cook eggs sloooow.
  • Use a spatula to occasionally scrape the bottom of the pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the eggs are starting to set.
  • Then add the cream cheese that has been cut into chunks. Carefully fold in the cream cheese and let it melt away into your dreamy creamy eggs.
  • When the eggs have cooked (cooked meaning you're ok sneaking a bite) but are still quite wet, add the eggs to a crock pot and turn the crock pot to warm. (If there is no warm setting, the low setting will do.) Put the lid on.
  • Stir the eggs every hour or so. You can keep them warm in the crock pot for about 4-5 hours. If you leave them in too long eventually they will become rubbery, so it's best to eat them within 4-5 hours.
  • When serving, top with cheddar cheese and green onions.

BUFFET-STYLE FLUFFY OVEN SCRAMBLED EGGS FOR A CROWD



Buffet-Style Fluffy Oven Scrambled Eggs for a Crowd image

This is the method that restaurants use to serve eggs for a buffet brunch --- for cheesy eggs mix in 1-1/2 cups shredded old cheddar cheese or you may sprinkle the cheese on top after removing from the oven --- 2-1/2 cups half and half cream and milk will produce ultra fluffy eggs, for a firmer texture reduce to 2 cups--- NOTE this recipe was tested using large eggs I cannot promise the same results using small or extra large eggs --- if you are serving these eggs at a buffet some side ideas would be salsa, green onions, cheddar cheese and soft buns :)

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3-1/2 cup butter, melted
24 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use seasoned salt)
fresh ground black pepper (optional and to taste) or white pepper (optional and to taste)
1 1/4 cups half-and-half cream
1 1/4 cups milk (or use 2-1/2 cups all milk)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F (set oven rack to lowest position).
  • Spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray then pour the melted butter into the pan.
  • In a bowl whisk eggs and salt until smooth and well blended.
  • Gradually whisk in the half and half and milk; pour into the baking pan.
  • Bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven then stir the eggs; return to oven and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are just set (to insure soft fluffy eggs do not overbake as the eggs will cook more after removing from the oven).
  • Serve immediately.

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.

BAKED EGGS FOR A CROWD



Baked Eggs for a Crowd image

The French long ago mastered eggs en cocotte -slightly coddled eggs baked at high heat with butter and cream, which thicken to a gravy as it cooks. There's no finer way to enjoy an egg. To pull this off for a crowd, a large casserole dish coated with butter and partly filled with heavy cream acts as a bath in which to gently cook the eggs. To dress them up, add smoked salmon, a handful of kale or spinach leaves, thinly sliced ham, halved cherry tomatoes or sliced, cooked mushrooms to the mix before you crack in the eggs. Really anything goes here, but keep the accoutrements light and let the eggs take center stage. Finish with flaky sea salt (those large crystals melt on your tongue in just the right way) and any fresh herb you love.

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
12 to 16 eggs (depending on your crowd)
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped mixed herbs, such as mint, parsley, dill, basil and chives
16 pieces of toast or 8 English muffins, halved and toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish (square or round). Pour cream in the prepared pan and sprinkle the cubed butter over the top. Add any cooked meat or vegetables, if using. Crack the eggs around the pan and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are still a bit runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with herbs and more flaky salt, and serve immediately, piping hot, with toasted bread or English muffins and shallow bowls. Drizzle the cream over the top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and butter will give you the best-tasting scrambled eggs. If you can, use organic or free-range eggs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you try to cook too many eggs at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the eggs over low heat: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Stir the eggs constantly so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the eggs to taste: Salt and pepper are the classic seasonings for scrambled eggs, but you can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, garlic powder, or chives.
  • Serve the eggs immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served hot and fresh. If you need to keep them warm for a while, you can place them in a preheated oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Creamy scrambled eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs every time.
