SPICY SCRAMBLED EGGS



Spicy Scrambled Eggs image

By most, the humble egg is not considered substantial dinner fare, but these spicy scrambled eggs, which are incredible on their own, make a satisfying meal when piled into a burrito, teamed with rice and beans. Bittman's cooking technique, borrowed from Jeans-Georges Vongerichten, calls for combining the eggs with butter in a cold saucepan then cooking until creamy and soft - not unlike loose oatmeal - with small curds throughout.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, like corn or canola
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 cup trimmed and roughly chopped scallions
1 jalapeƱo or other fresh chile, stemmed, seeded and minced, or to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
8 eggs
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Put butter or oil in a skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. Add garlic, ginger, scallions, chile and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Beat eggs lightly with a little more salt and pepper. Return pan to medium-high heat and add eggs. Stir occasionally, until curds begin to form, then remove from heat and stir to break up curds. Return to heat and repeat, stirring occasionally until mixture begins to clump. Cook and stir until eggs are creamy and thick but not dry: they will continue to cook under their own heat after you remove them from pan, so stop a moment short of your desired consistency.
  • Stir in cilantro and serve immediately.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs or 4 large egg substitute
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion (I use Vidalia)
1 medium plum tomato, diced
2 -4 tablespoons chopped cilantro, depending upon personal taste
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup coarsely shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • If using whole eggs, whisk together with 2 Tbsp water until well blended, this is not necessary if using egg substitute.
  • In large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
  • Add onion and cook, stirring until golden, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high and add diced tomto, cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.
  • Cook until tomato is heated through and any juices have evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Add eggs all at once, reduce heat to medium and cook without stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Using spatula, stir the eggs from the edges of the pan toward center.
  • Continue to cook and stir gently until eggs are almost cooked, but are still moist, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with grated cheese and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Divide and serve on warmed plates.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will scramble more evenly and have a better flavor than older eggs.
  • To make sure your eggs are cooked evenly, stir them constantly while they are cooking.
  • Don't overcook your eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season your eggs with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • If you like your eggs to be extra fluffy, whip them with a whisk before cooking.
  • Serve your scrambled eggs immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Garlic Cilantro Scrambled Eggs is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
