Your recipe for scrambled eggs.

J Town Girl — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 22:55:58 GMT

The only way that I like my eggs prepared is scrambled. My mother always made them with a small amount of milk. That is the method that I've always used.

In many recipes I've seen water being used instead of milk. I'm sure that keeps the calories down but it doesn't seem as tasty to me.

How do you prepare scrambled eggs?

@J Town Girl I've always used a little milk also.

I've seen recipes with water too, but prefer and use milk.

I dont add anything to my scrambled eggs while cooking them in butter. I try to be patient and use medium to lower heat and move the eggs to form soft curds. Bobby Flsys says not to add salt until the end so i don't anymore. I will add cheese at the end if I have it. I cut the burner off early and let residual heat finish.

Confession: I love ketchup with scrambled eggs.

Is there a difference between scrambled eggs and a plain omelet ? Just curious...

2% milk about 1 tablespoon per 2 eggs and low heat. .

I make them with water or milk depending in my mood. Water makes them fluffier and lighter, IMO.

Sometimes I fry some onion in the pan before I add the scrambled eggs. This makes a good egg sandwich.

I like them with small cubes of cream cheese and bits of smoked salmon scrambled in with the eggs.

Cottage Cheese, sour cream or yogurt makes scrambled eggs yummy.

They are best cooked in a little butter.

Isn't an omelet cooked in one piece instead of broken up. I don't know if the omelet is about how it's cooked or that stuff is added to it.

I grew up with them made with milk, but I tried water once and they are much fluffier and I prefer that. To make them creamier, I use about a teaspoon of parmesan cheese!

I blend them with a splash of half and half and Slap Ya Mama seasoning, in my mini blender that I keep next to my stove. I cook them in butter. My 10 yr old granddaughter told my daughter that grandma makes the best fluffy eggs... I love that kid! lol

When making an omelet, you never add water or milk to the egg mixture. You just pour the whipped eggs into a pan and tilt the pan to spread the mixture. An Omelet should be disk shaped and in one piece.

Scrambled eggs are stirred while cooking and should be in soft crumbles when served and a liquid can be added to the eggs before cooking them.

I guess the taste is just about the same if it is a plain omelet.

I make mine with water. cooked in butter. Used to make with milk but they came out more watery/runny that way. Plate them up just BEFORE they look done as the residual heat will finish them to nicely done not overcooked on the plate as someone else said too. I also add a teensy bit of vanilla once in a while.

Salt, pepper, scallions & butter. Never used milk or water. Never heard of those combinations when scambling eggs.

And, for the record.....I never scramble in a bowl. I break the eggs right in the frying pan (cast iron), throw in the incredients & scramble in there.

I just add some milk and scramble them up.

I've always used milk and cooked in butter, but I found a recipe in Good Housekeeping that calls for 1 tablespoon of water for 4 eggs and cook in olive oil. My new recipe for scrambled eggs. I like the taste of the olive oil.

Definitely, add water. Something I learned many years ago and it sounds gross if you've never tried it, but the eggs are much fluffler. Now, if you like a more dense consistency, maybe you don't add it.

It's just a splash, depending on how many eggs.

Then I stir the mixture (seasoned, of course) from the outside in. Love scrambled for dinner. Always good for adding veggies or leftovers like meatloaf, pasta, etc.

Made with water does make for fluffier eggs - with milk if cooked too long they def get runny but richer flavor. . Due to digestive problems with milk - rarely have milk in the house......... and thought I was the only person in the world who makes S Eggs with water.

I taught Foods and Advanced Foods.

Water makes scrambled eggs fluffier.

Milk can cause a scorched flavor (and, therefore, we always use water in an omlet).

This is the way I do it, too. No liquid, low heat, stir to form curds. Allow to finish cooking with heat off.
