Extra Moist Scrambled Eggs With Chives Food

EXTRA-MOIST SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat eggs, chives, salt and pepper with fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
• In 10-inch skillet, heat milk and butter over medium heat just until butter melts and liquid is steaming. Pour egg mixture into skillet.*
• As mixture heats, portions of eggs will begin to set. Gently push cooked portions with metal spatula to the outside edge of skillet. Avoid stirring constantly. As more egg sets, push it to the edge as well and stack it on top of the set egg mixture already there. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.

CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl with chives, salt, pepper, baking powder and water.
• Set aside.
• Melt butter in a skillet over low to medium heat.
• Add egg mixture.
• As eggs begin to set, push them gently toward the center of the skillet with a spatula.
• (See my note below about adding the cream cheese just before this point, rather than later in the cooking process).
• This will allow the uncooked egg to move toward the sides of the skillet and cook.
• Once eggs are partially set, add the cream cheese.
• Continue cooking for one minute, stirring occasionally.
• Eggs should be set but still moist.
• Spoon eggs evenly over pieces of Ezekiel toast.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHERVIL AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a metal mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, chives, and chervil. Add the butter and cream cheese to the egg mixture and place the bowl over the saucepan with simmering water; the bowl should not be touching the water. (This is a French technique called a bain marie, or water bath.) Season eggs with salt, and stir with a rubber spatula until the eggs look softly scrambled, 2-3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat and continue to stir until the eggs are soft but set. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with sage blossoms (optional), 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.

CREAM CHEESE AND CHIVE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, toss greens with oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside. In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs, chives, pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup water until blended.
• In nonstick, 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture to skillet. As egg mixture begins to set around edge, move it gently toward center to allow uncooked egg to flow toward side of pan. When eggs are partially cooked, add cream cheese and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until egg mixture is set but still mosit, about 1 minute.
• To serve, divide greens about four dinner plates. Place two toast halves on each plate, spoon eggs over toast.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS & CHIVES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Using a non-stick pan over medium high heat, gently heat the olive oil and begin to sauté the mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper and tossing gently.
• It is important not to overcook the mushrooms.
• Once they have been sautéed for 2 to 3 minutes, add the butter then the eggs.
• Reduce heat to medium and gently work the scrambled eggs slowly from the outside of the pan to the centre.
• If the heat is too high, the eggs will be rubbery.
• Once the eggs start to take on the form of a scrambled-egg look, add the 35% cream & the chives.
• This is the final touch& slows down the cooking of the eggs to ensure that they will be soft and tender.
• Gently work in the cream for 10 to 15 seconds.
• Remove from heat and serve.

CREAM CHEESE AND CHIVE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of the chives, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large heavy skillet melt the butter over moderate heat, add the egg mixture, and cook it, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through. Serve the eggs sprinkled with the additional chives.
