  • Scrambled eggs are a delicious way to start your day, but it can be tricky to get them fluffy and creamy. Everyone's had dry, sponge-like scrambled eggs, and it's easy to let them get that way. Maybe you've seen Gordon Ramsay cook his creamy scrambled eggs, using indirect heat and adding crème fraîche. That's certainly one way to do it, but purists might balk at the idea of adding fermented cream to such a simple dish. So how does domestic goddess Martha Stewart, known for her simplicity and authenticity, cook her scrambled eggs? It turns out that she has a secret ingredient that's pretty brilliant. This is the secret ingredient Martha Stewart uses in her scrambled eggs.

      I'm not crazy about eggs, but back in the 1950's, my Dad used to take me to a place in N.Y.C. that were cooking scrambled eggs by the window of the restaurant, so people could watch. It was such an unusual way of making them so fluffy and in unusual shapes. My Dad would go home and try to copy them but wasn't able to. Does anyone remember a place like this in N.Y.C.?

      The more orange vs. yellow tells you what you paid for. Yellows seems more "lighter" and "empty" than the preferred and tastier orange protein ballz.

    The "real" secret to cooking good scrambled is to beat two of them with a fork and add about one tablespoon of whole or 2% milk. Preheat the pan on medium low heat and melt one patty of real butter in the pan before adding the beaten eggs. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and with a spoon push the edge of the eggs toward the middle. As the eggs begin to solidify but still have some semi-liquid to them stir and remove the pan from the heat. Continue to stir the eggs in the pan to the degree of firmness or fluffiness desired. Turn them onto a plate where your jellied and buttered toast is waiting and enjoy with salt and black pepper to taste. A hot cup of coffee to wash them down is a bonus. Nothing too complicated about this method. This was taken from a video that Julia Child made about 20+ years ago.

    Interesting- will try the clarified butter to see what difference(s) it may make, mainly flavor. I am quite satisfied with my scrambled eggs, the reason being is I already use all of these techniques; mostly learned through experience (trial and error). I'm a pretty decent amateur chef. I use a wooden spoon to agitate the eggs while cooking. For the fat though, I use a low taste olive oil with a spot of butter. The butter helps break the surface tension of the oil thus allowing it to spread in my non-stick pan more readily. Using a little butter with olive oil will work for you in many sautéing instances. With eggs though, the amount of fat (oil) though is critical. A tad too much and you'll end up with oily-tasting eggs, so I find the clarified butter suggestion quite interesting. It's on my shopping list.

    My technique is browned butter, med/high heat, very well beaten, I only move the eggs a little keeping them more whole than lumpy and I only cook them until the shine starts to disappear. Occasionally I add half a t. of milk and 1/4 t. of cornstarch to the bowl first to make them more creamy. Very good with green onions too.

    5. Cook over low heat and don't over cook.

They were light, fluffy and so rich tasting. My cooking fat of choice is extra virgin olive oil...from Cosco.

    Using oil is just perfect. If someone cannot make scrambled eggs should stay away from cooking altogether. Also you can use lard or some bacon or bacon like cutlery bits, i.e. smoked pork fat, and melt that first and then add the eggs. You can also sauté some shallots or green onions before adding the eggs. Beats ghee any time.

    I don't agree with her method. I hate eggs that are undercooked and have that slimy coating on them. My best method is, using regular butter in the pan, mixing in plenty of milk, and once you pour the eggs in the pan, don't touch them until the very end! Also, whisk the salt and pepper into the eggs before you add the milk, for better distribution. Medium low heat is best. Cover the egg pan with a lid, until they are almost completely set, then use your spatula and break them up, stirring until the last of the raw egg is cooked. you will have some water separating out, but that doesn't matter. These eggs are as fluffy as it gets.
