Soft Scrambled Eggs  Hacks and Technique

Eggs

Salt

Butter

Water (Optional)

INGREDIENTS

Cornstarch (Optional)

In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter and allow it to get hot.

STEP ONE

Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and add the salt. Use a fork or whisk to beat until the yolks and egg whites are well-combined.

STEP TWO

For creamier, richer eggs, skip this step. For lighter fluffier eggs, add the cornstarch and water to a small bowl and mix to combine, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the cornstarch slurry to the beaten eggs.

STEP THREE

Once the butter is melted and hot, add the egg mixture to the center of the pan, and watch as it spread out across the bottom of the pan. If need be, slightly tilt the pan back and forth until the egg is in an even layer across the whole pan.

STEP FOUR

Wait about 30 seconds until the edges just start to cook. Then, use a rubber spatula to slowly push the eggs around the pan in a circular motion, starting with the outermost edges and slowly moving inward.

STEP FIVE

Continue to push the eggs around in a circular motion moving inward, until the eggs are all cooked and in the center of the pan. The top of the eggs should be ever so slightly underdone (they will continue to cook while the egg cools).

STEP SIX

Slide the soft scrambled egg onto a plate and serve warm by itself or with toast or other breakfast items. Enjoy!

STEP SEVEN

If you are making more than two eggs, increase the amount of butter and salt, but keep the amount of cornstarch and water the same (if using).
