PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS



Perfect Scrambled Eggs image

Easiest thing in the world, right? And sure, anyone can scramble eggs, but Perfect Scrambled Eggs...there are a few tricks of the trade: first, use a nonstick pan. Second, cook over low heat. Give yourself a little time. Third, undercook them! Cut the flame just before you think your eggs are done and let the carry-over heat finish cooking them. Fourth, butter. Lots of butter. That plus a touch of creme fraiche. Fifth, do not season with salt until the very end. Follow these rules and you will never have flabby, rubbery scrambled eggs again.

Provided by Airboat

Categories     Breakfast

Time 17m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs (I always use range eggs as they have a much better flavor to me. If you cannot get your hands on the)
1 tablespoon of soften cream cheese
1 teaspoon of helmann's mayonnaise
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
sea salt
coarse black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • * Note this is an optional way of making the eggs even more light and fluffy. If this step is not taken, they will still be the best eggs you have ever eaten.
  • Soften the cream cheese so it will blend easily into the egg mixture.
  • Break the three eggs into a bowl, now add the mayo, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese.
  • Put the butter into a hot skillet and let it melt down.
  • Blend with a high speed blender or electric whip. * You want the eggs to be whipped at a high speed to infuse air into the egg mixture.
  • Add egg mixture to hot skillet and saute until they are starting to set. Stirring all the time.
  • Option: You can continue to saute the eggs until they are ready to serve according to how you want their texture -- (wet or dry) or you can place the eggs into the oven as they start to set and allow the 450 degree heat to finish the job of causing the eggs to rise and become even more fluffy. If put in the oven, and allowed to finish cooking they will be as light as feathers. Either way they are going to be delicious.
  • After cooked to a golden hue, place onto a plate and sprinkle with seasalt and coarse black pepper.
  • Option: You can add your favorite cheese about 2 minutes before taking them from the oven, and allow the cheese to melt over the eggs.
