Unique Scrambled Eggs: My Secret Recipes
Have you ever wanted to break away from the ordinary and explore new, exciting ways to prepare scrambled eggs? If so, you're in for a treat as I share my unique recipes and cooking techniques. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting in the kitchen, these creative ideas will keep your meals exciting and flavorful.
1. My Custom-Coated Pan Scrambled Eggs
Don't settle for plain scrambled eggs. I add a whole new layer of taste by coating my pan with a generous amount of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." This luxurious vegetable oil not only adds a rich flavor but also ensures that my eggs come out perfectly every time. Here's how I make a truly unique and indulgent version:
Preheat your non-stick skillet or pan. Cook a hefty amount of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" in your pan until it gets a bit hot. Crack the eggs into a mixing cup, then add a tiny bit of fresh or whole milk and a sprinkle of seasoned salt. Stir the mixture well until the eggs are thoroughly beaten. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan on medium heat. Let it cook for a bit without moving it around too much. Once the eggs have set a little, gently flip them almost like flipping a pancake, or a few pancakes if they don't hold together. Continue cooking until there is almost no moisture left in the eggs. I prefer my scrambled eggs to be firm, with just a touch of runniness.2. Fluffy and Delicious Egg Mix
For those who love a fluffy, airy consistency in their scrambled eggs, here's a recipe that guarantees a delightful experience:
Add a healthy dollop of heavy cream to the beaten egg mixture first. You'll notice the mixture becoming lighter and fluffier. Whisk in freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt until the egg mixture lifts completely out of the bowl as you whisk. Use an even combination of bacon drippings and whole butter in your non-stick skillet. Make sure to preheat it well until the butter begins to bubble a bit. As the butter and bacon drippings combine, gently place the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring it as it begins to set on the bottom. Using a spatula, gently turn the set part, allowing the unset egg mix to roll down into the skillet. Repeat until the entire portion is cooked. Stir more vigorously to break up any large pieces and cook until there's no glistening moisture left in the eggs. Transfer the scrambled eggs directly onto a plate to eat. This entire process usually takes me 2 minutes or less on medium heat.3. The Expert's Quart of Liquified Eggs
For those of us who have experience in professional kitchens, making egg dishes at scale can be a different ball game altogether. Here's a method I used to whip up a quart of liquified eggs for the hot breakfast line:
Instead of using fresh eggs, I used liquid butter to create a consistent and creamy texture. Added some bacon drippings to the mixture to add depth and flavor. Seasoned the mixture with kosher salt and restaurant-ground black pepper for that professional edge. Took the mixture directly to the sheet pans to finish cooking and serve.My regulars always knew the difference when I was cooking for the hot breakfast line. This method allowed me to produce a large volume of perfectly cooked eggs that were just right for the busy breakfast service.
From precise coating techniques to the art of achieving a perfect consistency, these recipes and methods will take your scrambled eggs from ordinary to extraordinary. Experiment with different ingredients and techniques to suit your taste, and enjoy the unique flavor and texture each time you cook.
