SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

CAST-IRON SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, water, salt and pepper; set aside. , Place a 10-in. cast-iron skillet on grill rack over medium-hot heat. In the skillet, saute onion and jalapeno in butter until tender. Add egg mixture; cook and stir until almost set. Stir in cheese and chives; cook and stir until eggs are completely set.

FILET MIGNON AND SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Generously sprinkle the filets all over with salt and pepper, including on the sides. Add the oil to the pan. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the filets and cook for 1 minute. Add a third of the butter and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the filets and cook another 3 minutes or so for medium-rare, occasionally spooning melted butter over the top. Using tongs, brown each filet on its side, then transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Immediately add the remaining butter and the eggs; cook undisturbed just until the eggs begin to set at the edges, about 40 seconds. Then begin to stir the eggs gently to form large curds. Continue cooking until the eggs are just barely set, with some large curds surrounded by a bit of liquid egg, 45 to 60 seconds. Season with salt. Drop pieces of goat cheese and spoonfuls of romesco sauce over the top and sprinkle with parsley. Stir quickly just to marble in the romesco; the eggs should still be very softly set. Remove from the heat.
• Working quickly, remove the strings and slice each filet into 3 pieces; arrange on 4 plates. Spoon some eggs next to the meat, and top with a drizzle of olive oil and some more parsley. Serve immediately.

BAKED CHEDDAR EGGS & POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add potatoes; cook and stir until golden brown and tender. Stir in parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. With the back of a spoon, make 4 wells in the potato mixture; break 2 eggs into each well., Bake until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 9-11 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; bake until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Cook sausage in the hot skillet until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to the bowl with the bacon.
• Heat canola oil and butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add hash browns and onion. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on top and stir together. Spread out the hash browns; cook, without stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn hash browns over and sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
• Stir remaining garlic powder, eggs, and milk together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the Cheddar cheese-covered hash browns in the skillet. Sprinkle bacon and sausage pieces on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is puffed, cheese is melted, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes.

CHEESY SKILLET GRITS

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups each milk and water to a simmer in a medium ovenproof skillet; whisk in 1 cup quick-cooking grits, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally, until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 tablespoon butter and 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Top with 3/4 cup more cheese; broil until bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes.

CHEESY SKILLET CRESCENT ROLLS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe the skillet clean.
• On the wide end of each dough triangle, spoon a scant tablespoonful of caramelized onions and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon Swiss cheese. Starting at the wide end, gently roll up the dough around the filling; place in the skillet. There will be some space between each roll, but the rolls will puff up and come together when baked.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the rolls are golden and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
