the Best Eggs

Posted by ChroniclesCapersCanards
the Best Eggs So, I have always enjoyed cooking eggs. I love making them and I love eating them any style: poached, sunny side up, Benedict styled, omelets or baked with bread and sausage. I love it all. But, recently I discovered possibly the best way to eat an egg: scrambled. Now there are several components to making the best, more delicious, absolutely awesome scrambled eggs. First off, what is the best scrambled egg? Well, the most ideal egg is light and fluffy. It doesn't have that weir burnt layer on the bottom. The final product should look like soft yellow curds, not a mash up of overcooked egg that you need to chew off. It should taste soft as well. Personally I don't enjoy having my eggs smoky or burnt. This leads to Gabby's guide for an awesome scrambled egg. When you first scramble the egg, beat it till its just combined. If you scramble it too much, its tends to be tougher. Its not a huge difference but, less whisking tends to make more lighter fluffier eggs. The second most important thing I’ve also discovered about making eggs is that a little bit of half and half or even plain milk tends to make the eggs even better. Okay, now onto the actual cooking part. Whenever you make scrambled eggs, the best thing to do is start on high heat. However don't cook it over high heat the whole time because then you'll get that crusty burnt bottom part which I have already mentioned. We do not want that. Once you can drag the wooden spoon across the pan without a trail, you turn the heat down to low. From there, you simply cook the egg till its finally light and fluffy. This is the middle ground between two extremes. If you cook an egg over low heat, it doesn't always that throughly cooked and can be runny or soupy. Yuck. But you also don't want to over cook by heating it over high heat. This method works wonders. I love it. And finally the ultimate secret to the best scrambled eggs: mix in cream cheese. Whether it be half a tablespoon or whole chunks, it makes your meal twenty times better. You can whisk it in or you can put int little dollops. Instantly your eggs becomes creamy and smooth and oh so satisfying.

Scrambled eggs with cream cheese could very well end up on my last meal menu! BTW..eggs continue to cook from residual heat so you should stop cooking them BEFORE they appear "done". Also,have you ever tried stirring your cooking eggs with chopsticks?
Creates nice creamy curds.
