EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
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.

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.
Tips:
- Use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh. Older eggs will have a less creamy yolk and may have a slightly off flavor.
- Mash the eggs with a fork or potato masher until they are finely chopped. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Add mayonnaise a little at a time, until the egg salad is creamy and moist. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the egg salad too dry.
- Season the egg salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as Dijon mustard, celery salt, or paprika.
- Chill the egg salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the egg salad to firm up.
- Serve the egg salad on a bed of lettuce or watercress, or in a sandwich or wrap. You can also use it as a filling for deviled eggs.
Conclusion:
Egg salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and creamy egg salad that everyone will enjoy.
