SCRAMBLED EGGS



Scrambled Eggs image

It took me many years to perfect the simple art of a few scrambled eggs. Seems the simpler the dish, the harder it becomes! My simple rules are this: Rich, creamy eggs? Use a splash of heavy cream whisked in with the eggs. Lighter, fluffier eggs? Use a splash of water whisked in with the eggs. Decadent and rich eggs? Use a splash of water whisked in with the eggs and stir in some tiny cubes of butter at the VERY last minute of scrambling.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with a scant tablespoon water. Whisk only enough to mix. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
  • Cook the eggs: Place 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. Lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Stir the eggs gently and constantly. Then, allow the eggs to cook 15 to 30 seconds, then stir again, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to keep the eggs moving.
  • Finish: When cooked but still somewhat "soft", 2 to 3 minutes, sprinkle with a touch more salt. Stir and transfer to a serving dish so the eggs don't continue to cook in the hot pan.

COUNTRY EGG, CITY EGG MASHED-POTATO BAKED EGGS



Country Egg, City Egg Mashed-Potato Baked Eggs image

Always motivated to get dinner on the table quicker than the night before, I create leftovers to get ahead on the next night's meal. I'm forever looking for inventive and savory ways to incorporate my leftovers into the simplest preparations. This recipe is an inspired short version of the irresistible original, "lifted" from my very favorite egg cookbook, "Country Egg, City Egg," by Gayle Pirie and John Clark. Served with a simple salad, this is a great midweek meal.

Categories     side-dish

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups mashed potatoes, heated through
4 eggs
Coarse salt and cracked black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, oregano, or thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Divide the mashed potatoes into four individual baking dishes. Make a deep well in the center of the mashed potatoes. Crack an egg directly into each well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese over each egg. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until eggs are done to your likeness.
  • Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

SLOW-SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH POTATOES, MUSHROOMS, AND BACON



Slow-Scrambled Eggs with Potatoes, Mushrooms, and Bacon image

For years, I would eat eggs only as an excuse to have bacon and hash browns. And then I made this discovery-the French method of slow cooking. The results of this technique are so good, I'd be perfectly happy to eat the eggs plain, without embellishment, but in this version I still get my potatoes and bacon. This dish requires patience: it's tempting to turn the heat up and finish the eggs quickly, but if you do, they will lose the creamy, custardy consistency that elevates this dish beyond breakfast. Try these eggs as a first course before something simple and light, such as a vegetable or chicken sauté, or grilled fish or beef. You can also serve them for brunch, with fresh fruit or a green salad.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large potato, peeled and diced
Salt
2 strips thick-sliced bacon, diced
1/4 pound button mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
Pepper
3 tablespoons butter
10 eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Salt and pepper
4 individual brioche rolls, or 2 slices good-quality bread, crusts removed, sliced in half into triangles
Potatoes, Mushrooms, and Bacon
Slow-Scrambled Eggs
Snipped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the potato dice in a small pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add the potatoes to the leftover bacon fat, and cook over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until mushrooms are tender and lightly brown. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set it aside while you cook the eggs.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs and cream. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula until they just begin to thicken, about 10 minutes.
  • At this point, lower the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir. Don't cheat-in order to make the eggs as creamy as possible, it's important to stir gently and continuously, and take your time. When the eggs begin to thicken, after about 5 minutes, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Warm the brioche or toast the bread lightly. Set the potato-mushroom mixture over medium heat, add the bacon, and warm thoroughly. Return the eggs to low heat and cook until they will just barely hold together and resemble a thick, creamy sauce, then spoon them over the brioche or toast. Spoon the potato mixture over or around the eggs and sprinkle with chives.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PEPPERS, TOMATOES AND POTATOES



Scrambled Eggs With Peppers, Tomatoes and Potatoes image

I've always been partial to creamy, slow-cooked scrambled eggs, but for this week's dishes I found that I preferred larger curds, cooked at medium heat rather than very low heat. If you prefer a creamier curd, just reduce the heat before you add the beaten eggs to the pan, and stir the mixture slowly until the eggs are set. These Tunisian-inspired eggs make a satisfying one-dish meal. The eggs are spiced with cayenne or harissa, ground caraway and coriander.

Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound boiling potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pound mixed green and red bell peppers 2 large peppers, seeded and sliced
4 garlic cloves, puréed in a mortar with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound tomatoes, seeded and grated on the large holes of a grater, or peeled, seeded and diced; or 1/2 of a 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes, drained
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander seeds
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper more to taste or 1 teaspoon harissa
6 to 8 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes in a steamer placed over one inch of boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add the peppers. Cook, stirring, until the peppers begin to soften, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, ground caraway and coriander seeds, and cayenne or harissa. Stir together. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring often for 20 to 30 minutes, until the mixture is cooked down and the peppers are very tender. Stir in the potatoes, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt to taste. Stir into the vegetables. Cook until the eggs are scrambled, stirring every few seconds to create large curds. Remove from the heat, and serve.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a microwave, you can also bake the potato in a preheated 400-degree Fahrenheit oven for 45-60 minutes, or until it is tender.
  • To make the scrambled eggs, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Then, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are cooked through.
  • Once the scrambled eggs are cooked, spoon them into the potato shells. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, or salsa. Potatoes are very versatile, so you can get creative with fillings.
  • If you are making the recipe ahead of time, you can store the potato shells in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve, simply reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Scrambled eggs in potato shells are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try experimenting with different toppings and fillings to create your own unique recipe.
