Eggs are very versatile ingredients that can be cooked in any method or style. Eggs have become a staple fare during breakfast and can be cooked in numerous ways. One of the egg dishes that are usually eaten during breakfast is scrambled eggs. When scrambling eggs, it incorporates air into the egg which creates that “curdled” or “scrambled” appearance for this breakfast dish. However when cooked the wrong way, you are left with a rubbery and terrible tasting scrambled eggs. Here are some ways of making a batch of perfect scrambled eggs and some variations to this classic dish.
- In making scrambled eggs, make sure to use fresh eggs. Some people prefer to use fresh organic eggs than supermarket ones because organic eggs are creamier and fluffier when cooked.
- Let the eggs develop the right temperature by letting them stand at room temperature. If you have them stored in the fridge, leave them for a couple of minutes at room temperature before starting to cook them.
- Avoid cracking eggs at the side of bowl as there is a possibility that little bits of eggshells might get into the bowl. A scrambled egg with bits of eggshells is not a dish that everyone would enjoy.
- Add a bit of fat into the scrambled eggs like milk or creamy. This would develop its flavor which adds that creaminess to the dish.
