PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
• TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
• Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
• Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
• Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.

LIGHT AND FLUFFY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• * Note this is an optional way of making the eggs even more light and fluffy. If this step is not taken, they will still be the best eggs you have ever eaten.
• Soften the cream cheese so it will blend easily into the egg mixture.
• Break the three eggs into a bowl, now add the mayo, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese.
• Put the butter into a hot skillet and let it melt down.
• Blend with a high speed blender or electric whip. * You want the eggs to be whipped at a high speed to infuse air into the egg mixture.
• Add egg mixture to hot skillet and saute until they are starting to set. Stirring all the time.
• Option: You can continue to saute the eggs until they are ready to serve according to how you want their texture -- (wet or dry) or you can place the eggs into the oven as they start to set and allow the 450 degree heat to finish the job of causing the eggs to rise and become even more fluffy. If put in the oven, and allowed to finish cooking they will be as light as feathers. Either way they are going to be delicious.
• After cooked to a golden hue, place onto a plate and sprinkle with seasalt and coarse black pepper.
• Option: You can add your favorite cheese about 2 minutes before taking them from the oven, and allow the cheese to melt over the eggs.

SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet or nonstick pan. Combine the eggs, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl. Briskly whisk, pour into the skillet, and turn the heat very low. Gently stir the egg mixture, lifting it up and over from the bottom as it thickens. Continue to stir until the desired texture is achieved. They thicken and dry out very quickly toward the end, so if you like them soft and moist, remove them from the heat a little before they reach the desired texture; they will continue to cook after being removed from the pan.
• Scrambled Eggs with Ham.
• Add 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked ham to the egg mixture.
• Scrambled Eggs with Cream Cheese.
• Cut 4 ounces cream cheese into small cubes and add to the eggs after they begin to thicken in the skillet.
• Scrambled Eggs with Chives.
• Add 1 tablespoon chopped chives and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley to the egg mixture, and substitute 2 tablespoons cream for the water.
• Scrambled Eggs with Lox.
• Fry 1/2 onion, sliced, and 2 slices lox in the butter before adding the eggs, and eliminate the salt from the mixture.
• Scrambled Eggs with Chicken Livers.
• Fry two chicken livers, diced, in the butter before adding the egg mixture.
• Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus.
• Add 2/3 cup crisp-cooked asparagus, in 2-inch pieces, to the eggs just after they begin to thicken in the skillet.
• Scrambled Eggs with Peppers and Onions.
• Fry 1/2 red pepper, diced, and 1/4 onion, chopped, in the butter for about 5 minutes before adding the egg mixture.
• Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms.
• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet. Sauté 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms with 4 tablespoons finely chopped onion over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. Lower the heat before adding the egg mixture.
• Cooking Temperature
• No matter what the technique, it is essential to use low, gentle heat when cooking eggs: egg protein beings to thicken at only 144°F, and toughens rapidly. The only exception is omelets; there the bottom is cooked quickly over medium-high heat, but the surface remains slightly runny, making for a soft interior when folded. Serve cooked eggs on warm, not sizzling hot, plates or they will continue to cook after they are removed from the pan.
• Food Safety and Eggs
• There is an ever-growing concern about the threat of salmonella, bacteria that contaminate eggs, poultry, and meat. Because we often eat eggs lightly cooked and even raw (in sauces like mayonnaise, for instance), they pose a greater threat. In trying to assess the seriousness of the problem, I have consulted government agencies - the Food and Drug Administration, the Agricultural Department, and the Centers for Disease Control - and many other food safety experts. The findings are frustrating because there seems to be no collective information as to how many eggs are infected, and how many people have been stricken with salmonella in this country, so there is no way of knowing the degree of risk one is taking when eating raw or lightly cooked eggs, which are used in many recipes. Government officials recommend that immuno-compromised patients, the very young and the elderly, all of whom are the most severely affected when stricken, should not eat raw or lightly cooked eggs. Until the problem has been licked, the rest of us are consuming eggs that have not been cooked to 165° at our own risk. Incidentally, eggs in cakes, cookies, and breads have been sufficiently cooked to be safe.
