How to Make Scrambled Eggs
Some say that you can tell whether someone knows how to cook based on how they make scrambled eggs. Although it competes for the title of the easiest egg dish to make, you’d be surprised to know that even scrambled eggs have various preparation methods.
Scrambled eggs can be a quick addition to any breakfast, whether dairy, parve, or meat-based. The nutritional value of eggs helps our bodies accumulate energy needed for daily functioning. Making scrambled eggs is considered easy and fast; essentially, it’s like making a regular omelet, but you need to stir the eggs during cooking instead of flipping them once.
Ingredients:
Eggs – as needed
Oil – as needed (can use butter instead)
How to Make Scrambled Eggs:
- Crack the egg into a bowl or cup and whisk it well until it reaches a uniform color.
- Pour the mixture into a hot pan on medium-low heat.
- Stir or scramble the eggs as they begin to set, until the eggs are fully cooked and in small pieces.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove the pan from heat and transfer the eggs to a serving dish.
Tips for Proper Preparation:
- To prevent the scrambled eggs from sticking to the pan, it’s best to start with a pan that’s already hot or at least on its way to get there. Don’t place the eggs in a completely cold pan.
- To add oil to the pan, use just a little to coat the surface.
- When adding salt or pepper to the mixture, it’s recommended to do so gradually while stirring to avoid getting a bite that’s too salty. Using a salt shaker after the eggs are in the pan might work better.
Upgrades for Scrambled Eggs:
- You can add a little milk to the egg mixture and stir; the milk will soften the taste and color of the scrambled eggs, making them fluffier and lighter.
- Adding a bit of oats to the egg mixture will create fluffier scrambled eggs with additional nutritional value.
- To get fine egg crumbles that almost resemble a spread, cook on low heat and keep stirring until done. Sometimes, you may need to remove it from the heat briefly if the eggs are cooking too quickly.
- For larger pieces of scrambled eggs, stir gently and let the eggs continue setting before stirring again.
Good luck! Enjoy your meal!
