Cracker Barrel's scrambled eggs are a Southern comfort food classic, known for their fluffy texture and rich flavor. This recipe aims to recreate that beloved dish in your own kitchen, with simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps.
In this article, you'll find two variations of the recipe: the classic scrambled eggs and a loaded version packed with savory ingredients like cheese, ham, and bell peppers. Both recipes start with whisking eggs and milk together, then cooking them over medium heat while stirring gently. The classic recipe keeps it simple with salt and pepper, while the loaded version adds a flavorful combination of cheddar cheese, diced ham, bell peppers, and onions.
Whether you prefer your scrambled eggs plain or loaded with toppings, this recipe has you covered. Both variations are sure to satisfy your craving for a hearty and delicious breakfast or brunch. So gather your ingredients, preheat your skillet, and let's get cooking!
SOFT AND CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Scrambled eggs should be soft, creamy and gently scrambled. A quality non-stick pan and silicone spatula are really useful. It's important that you use low heat and don't forget about the chance of carryover cooking. Eggs are delicate and cook very quickly. I like to take the pan off of the heat before the scramble has finished cooking. Give the eggs a few seconds in the hot pan (off the heat) and you'll find the eggs turn out to be perfectly cooked - not dry, and not too wet.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until well blended.
- When the butter begins to bubble, pour in the eggs and immediately use a silicone spatula to swirl in small circles around the pan, without stopping, until the eggs look slightly thickened and very small curds begin to form, about 30 seconds.
- Change from making circles to making long sweeps across the pan until you see larger, creamy curds; about 20 seconds.
- When the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, remove the pan from the heat and leave for a few seconds to finish cooking. Give a final stir and serve immediately. Serve with an extra sprinkle of salt, a grind of black pepper and a few fresh chopped herbs (if desired).

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
- TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
- Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
- Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
- Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs will make them tough.
- Cook the eggs over low heat: Cooking the eggs over low heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Stir the eggs constantly: Stirring the eggs constantly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Season the eggs to taste: Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Add-ins: For extra flavor and texture, you can add cheese, bacon, sausage, or vegetables to your scrambled eggs.
Conclusion:
Scrambled eggs are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scrambled eggs that are fluffy, tender, and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give this recipe a try!
