Tips To Make Perfectly Soft and Creamy Scrambled Eggs
The Eggs – when you make simple dishes like this. It is essential to ensure that your ingredients are fresh. No, you don’t need to buy expensive eggs for this to taste good. You just need to make sure they aren’t stale or old. Just the check the sell by date before buying at the store.
Cheese – Yes real parmesan is going to taste better. But there are lots of decent grocery store brands that will do the trick just right. Remember to use a the fine side of you grater to get light feathery shards which will melt seamlessly into the eggs.
Heavy Cream – Adding heavy cream, gives you a little more leeway when cooking scrambled eggs and this way there are less chances of overcooking them into a rubbery mess. Cream also adds a nice richness to the texture to get those silky curds at the end.
Pan – Use a non toxic, non-stick pan or a well seasoned cast iron to make eggs is the safest bet to silky eggs. I have found that in other pans the eggs stick to the bottom immediately!
Agitating – Use a fork or spatula to gently agitate your eggs as soon as they hit the pan. Do this by using circular motions while moving the pan with your other in the opposite direction. This helps breaking the proteins down while also mixing those curds.
Cooking temperature – Do not raise the heat to more than medium when making scrambled eggs. Controlling the heat is helps gently break the proteins down instead of seizing them right up and causing your scramble to turn brown. Aim for a golden-yellow custard color as your marker.
