Creamy Scrambled Eggs With Crispy Potatoes Food

QUICK EGG & POTATO SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add potatoes, onions and jalapeño peppers; cook 7 to 8 min. or until onions are tender and potatoes are golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Beat eggs and black pepper in small bowl; add to skillet. Cook 3 min. or until eggs are set, stirring occasionally.

CRISPY POTATOES WITH CHEESY EGGS

Steps:

• Put a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil. Peel and grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor. Sprinkle the potatoes well with salt and pepper and toss to coat. When the skillet is hot, add the potatoes, pressing them down and flattening them out to evenly cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the potatoes are well browned on the bottom, monitoring the heat as you go so they don't burn. Carefully flip over the pancake, keeping it in one piece, and brown it on the other side. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and keep warm.
• While the potatoes are cooking, put a small skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted, add the shallot and cook until it softens. Sprinkle over the flour and cook for a minute or 2. Pour in the cream and bring to a boil. Add the whiskey and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens a bit. Turn off the heat and add half the cheese. Stir to melt the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• In another medium skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining tablespoon butter. Whisk the eggs well, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan, add the remaining cheese and reduce the heat to low. Cook slowly until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through but soft.
• Place the potato pancake on a serving plate. Top with the cheesy eggs and pour on the sauce. Dollop on the caviar and sprinkle over the chives. Cut into 4 slices and serve.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
• Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
• Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the potato, rinsed, drained, and patted dry, stirring, for 6 minutes, or until it is crisp and golden. Transfer the potato with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• In a bowl whisk together the eggs and the cream. In a skillet melt the butter over moderately low heat and in it cook the eggs, stirring, until they are barely set. Stir in the potatoes, cook the mixture, stirring, until the eggs are set, and add the salt and pepper to taste. Divide the egg mixture between 2 heated plates and serve it with toast.
