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.

Steps:
- Cut top and bottom from onion and peel.
- My personal preference is to slice horizontally and vertically from the top without slicing completely through, then turn the onion on its side and slice from the top.
- The remaining base is then sliced horizontally and vertically as well.
- Remove garlic cloves from the bulb, peel and chop.
- Thoroughly blend Eggs, Pepper, Garlic Powder and Mrs. Dash in a bowl.
- Slice Polska Kielbasa lengthwise, turn sideways, and slice lengthwise again -- the result is a length of kielbasa with a "+" cut.
- Slice thinly from the end.
- In a 10-inch skillet (with lid) saute' onions in oil.
- When the onions become translucent, add diced garlic.
- When the onions become more brown than translucent, add chopped kielbasa.
- When the onions start to become predominantly brown, add scrambled egg mixture, stirring constanly with spatula, flipping occasionally (as you would pancakes).
- When the eggs are fully cooked, remove from fire, serve and enjoy!
- Option: Grate Cheddar cheese on top as desired.
EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
- Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.
Tips for Making the Best Scrambled Eggs:
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will produce fluffier, more flavorful scrambled eggs.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This will help prevent the eggs from sticking and make them easier to stir.
- Cook the eggs over medium heat. This will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Stir the eggs constantly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from forming large curds.
- Season the eggs to taste. Salt and pepper are classic seasonings for scrambled eggs, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the eggs immediately. Scrambled eggs are best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
No matter how you like your scrambled eggs, there are a few things you can do to make sure they come out perfect every time. By following these tips, you can make light, fluffy, and flavorful scrambled eggs that will be a hit with everyone at the table.
