Recipe 2016.04.10 - Scrambled Eggs

I hear you saying, surely everyone knows how to make scrambled eggs. Anybody can make scrambled eggs, but not everyone can make great scrambled eggs.

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• salt and pepper
• 2 tsp. butter
• shredded cheese

Steps:

• Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
• Heat butter in non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle some shredded cheese.
• As egg mixture begins to set, gently pull the egg across the pan with a wooden spatula. Continue pulling, lifting, and folding eggs, until no visible liquid egg remains. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.

Pro-tips:

• Do not allow the butter to burn, or this will discolour the egg.
• Do not stir the egg mixture for the first 20 seconds. Lift and fold every 10 seconds afterwards.
• Pull the cooked  outer edges IN towards the center. Uncooked eggs will flood the area you just pulled back.
• Never leave a surface in contact too long with the skillet or it will become overcooked.
• Don't overcook. Remove pan from heat when egg softly set and slightly runny. The retained heat in the pan will continue to cook and firm up.
