Directions

  • Whisk eggs with salt until completely combined and very foamy.

  • Melt butter in a skillet over low heat until bubbling. Add whisked eggs; cook, stirring frequently for even, moist curds, until thickened and creamy, but still shiny, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Remove scrambled eggs from the pan before they begin to look dry, as they will continue to thicken off the heat.

Cook's Notes:

Variation: Saute 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper and 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir into eggs just before serving.

You can add blistered tomatoes and shredded aged and/or soft cheeses to this if you like; add just before serving.

And don't worry if you do over-cook it. It simply becomes an omelette (and a very nice one) or a frittata! Read More

LOVE IT, I have been doing this for years, I prefer the mayonnaise or a touch of aioli . I may add a pinch of herbs or minced onion. They are so fantastic and versatile .... great for any taste at any time. They are perfect when you're not too hungry. Serve them open face on a piece of toast with a slice of cheese. Hits the spot every time. Thank you for an easy bit of gold !!!!! Read More

I have tried this method, but I prefer to add just a wee bit of water or milk, much fluffier. Read More

A bit too greasy for me with the oil and butter. The way to fluffy eggs is to add a little water and mix with a whip. I learned this method from my father many years ago. Read More

I've always made this but with less butter. I can honestly say that the small amount of extra butter was enough to make a huge difference in taste and texture. Read More

Ok, but not great flavor was good with peppers and mushrooms but egged were lacking. For fluffy eggs whisk in 1T of water per egg. Cook bringing edges to the middle when egged begin to set flip the over and remove pan from heat. Read More
