Mmmm, butter. A Kenji trick: add a small pinch (not a handful) of salt while whisking then let sit for 10-15 minutes. (They will change color slightly) He explains the chemistry behind it. My touch is to add a tablespoon or so of heavy cream toward the end of whisking. Pepper or chopped parsley to serve.

"Eggs can take under a minute to cook" not mine, I be standing there like a Frenchman, furiously scrambling the eggs over the tiniest flame possible, for like 10 minutes. They come out deliciously soft though. I like how everyone does scrambled eggs differently, adds different spices, mixes in different stuff. I like mine with thinly diced onions, bacon, and a shitload of random spice mixes.

@TheCattyKid Жыл бұрын

@@MyBlackandRedCZ I agree that outcome works a lot better - low flame, slowly mixing - then as it comes together, on and off the flame while stirring faster and more vigorously - they seem to come out fluffier, eggier, and have enough moisture/texture that is appealing.

@@MyBlackandRedCZ depending on how long wet you let them, they come out more like a very runny sandwich spread than what most people call a scrambled egg -- which is exactly what I like. Super soft and runny, almost like a thin pudding. The most concentrated egg flavor I've ever tasted.

I like to add garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt to the beaten eggs before cooking. Nothing too extreme, just enough of each to level up the flavor a bit. And definitely use butter in the pan. If I add any other seasonings after cooking, it's just a bit more pepper. That said, I don't tend to scramble eggs as much as cook them over-medium these days.

This is exactly how I cook scrambled eggs. I never understood the fetish some chefs have for slowly cooking eggs over 5-10 minutes, until you get something that's almost like a custard. The myth is that high heat makes tough eggs. Bah! Cook at a moderately high heat, quickly, and the eggs never have a chance to get tough since they're only on heat for a minute or two. I like mine a little less wet than Frank does, so I would finish off-heat for another 20 seconds or so, letting the residual heat of the pan firm them up just a bit more.

if you want the best scrambled eggs, dont rush them like in the video. use a very low temp. when you fast cook them, you'll get watery scrambled eggs. take your time. mine take about 8 to 10 minutes to make on very low heat. for toppings, i add feta, or smoked salmon, or a nice herb crusted potato hash.

I use a fork to beat my eggs, but I stopped cooking with so much butter in my mid twenties. I’m not a “super healthy eater”, but I cut back on butter and salt. I use EVOO instead of butter when cooking. With scrambled eggs/omelette I might mix a little milk or sour cream. It gives them flavor and gets them fluffy. But, just eggs with some fresh pepper and a little salt taste great. The trick to any of this is to not overcook the eggs. 🐓🥚🍳

@jchomedog2887 10 ай бұрын

Yes! Salt and pepper should always go on at the last second. It’s easier to control the flavor that way and it melts into the hot eggs without ruining the seasoning or diluting it nor ruining the curd of the eggs. Salt breaks down the protein in the eggs if you add it before cooking. The only exception to this rule is if you’re going to bake something, in which case you really have pay attention to the planning of how you compose your ingredients to make sure they stay intact and preserve the flavor and texture of the dish.
