I like to have friends and family over for a special Sunday brunch, especially when there's a "big game" on television. These colorful scrambled eggs with veggies go perfectly with sausage, toasted English muffins and fresh fruit. -Marilyn Ipson, Rogers, Arkansas

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 0

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.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 diced orange bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed
1 thinly sliced scallion
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Coarse salt
Ground pepper
2 large eggs

1/4 cup fresh prepared salsa
1/2 pitted and diced avocado

Steps:

  • In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Add bell pepper and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add scallion, corn, and cumin and cook until scallion has wilted, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe skillet with a paper towel; reserve skillet.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 2 teaspoons water until well combined. In reserved skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium. Add egg mixture and cook until bottom is set, 30 seconds. Gently stir with a spatula to bring cooked curds up from the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in cheese and reserved vegetables. Serve with salsa, avocado, and tortillas.

SOUTHERN EGG SCRAMBLED BREAKFAST

This is my husband's favorite dish on the weekends, when we usually eat breakfast late. It is also my son-in-law's most requested dish when they come down for the weekend. It's easy to mix and match whatever of the ingredients you happen to like to suit your tastes. Light, fluffy, and flavorful. The sour cream will produce a very light fluffy egg, so don't leave it out!
