What is your favorite recipe for scrambled eggs?

Question

When I make them, it always tastes so plain!! How do i spice it up?

Answer 1

Whip up your egg with a wire wisk. Add salt and pepper and a teaspoon of milk or half-half. If you want them fluffy, add 1/4 tsp baking soda before cooking.
When cooking, start with a heated pan, medium-hot. Add butter. Add the eggs. When you see them start to bubble, lift them gently with a spatula so that the runny, uncooked egg can cook in the pan; don't stir too much. Just keep on lifting and turning the egg, maybe flipping it before it starts to brown. It should be done in less than a minute from then.

Here's a scrambled egg and scallion recipe. If you substituted pepper for scallion, would this work?

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup minced scallions
8 large eggs
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into bits and softened
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Snipped chives or thinly sliced scallions tops for garnish

In a medium non-stick skillet cook the scallions in the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until soft. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, cream cheese and salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, or until cooked. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with the chives or scallions.

Answer 2

You can add almost anything to eggs.

For spicy, to your taste, add two or three teaspoons of whatever salsa you have in the fridge, and scramble as usual.

For something a bit different, try a quarter teaspoon of vanilla and a fair amount of cinnamon. I know it sounds strange, but try it.

You can add some crumbled bacon and some cheddar cheese.

McCormick makes a pepper blend called "Hot Shot." Add a bunch of this and just a bit of salt.

Try adding a few tablespoons of Barbecue sauce.

Just experiment. Try anything.

Hope these get you started.

Answer 5

I saute some minced onion in a tiny bit of butter, then pour beaten egg on that, then shredded cheese. Scramble as usual and season with salt and pepper.

You can also add herbs like tarragon, parsley, or chives.

Answer 6

I dice some onions and saute them in butter. While they are cooking I beat eggs with a little milk. When the onions are clear, I add the eggs. When they are done, I plate them and put salsa and nacho cheese on them. You can sprinkle some chopped green onions on too if you want or crumbled bacon.

Delicious!

Answer 8

I love eggs, eat them all the time. One way is like an omelette, onion, green pepper, ham, when done lay swiss cheese on top.

the other way is take left over spaghetti warm in the pan w/ little olive oil. scramble eggs around it, top with pepper & grated cheese. try it...before you say sounds gross

Answer 9

My boyfriend (who went to culinary school) says a bit of water added makes them fluffier.

I use grated cheddar cheese, or the mexican blend. I love to add that plus some ham (not deli, but baked ham) chunks. Add some toast, a few tater tots, and some orange juice - that's my favorite breakfast!

Answer 10

This is what I like to do:
Take five eggs, whip them into a puree, put pepper, chopped up tomatoes chopped up onions, and chopped jalapenos and shredded cheese and mix them all together. Pour it in a frying pan, wait till eggs are solid and you got yourself a great omelet.
