Scrambled Eggs Recipe

Eggs: The main ingredient, providing protein and a rich, creamy texture.

Milk: Adds creaminess and helps make the eggs fluffy.

Butter: Used for cooking the eggs, adding flavor and preventing sticking.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the eggs.

Pepper: Adds a bit of spice and depth to the flavor.

For fluffier scrambled eggs, try separating the egg whites from the yolks and beating them separately before combining. This adds extra air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter texture.

• eggs - Substitute with tofu: Tofu can be crumbled and cooked similarly to scrambled eggs, providing a similar texture and protein content.

• eggs - Substitute with chickpea flour: Chickpea flour mixed with water can create a batter that mimics the texture of scrambled eggs when cooked.

• Allow the scrambled eggs to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the eggs watery.
• Transfer the cooled scrambled eggs to an airtight container. For best results, use a container that minimizes air space.
• Store the container in the refrigerator. Scrambled eggs can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the scrambled eggs. Place the cooled eggs in a freezer-safe container or a resealable plastic bag.
• Label the container or bag with the date to keep track of freshness.
• When ready to use, thaw the scrambled eggs in the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat the scrambled eggs gently in a microwave or on the stovetop. If using a microwave, cover the eggs with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
• Stir occasionally while reheating to ensure even warming and to avoid overcooking.
• Add a splash of milk or a small pat of butter when reheating to restore some of the original creaminess.
• Avoid reheating scrambled eggs more than once to maintain their texture and flavor.

• Measuring spoons: These are useful for accurately measuring the milk and butter to ensure the perfect consistency and flavor.

• Stove: You'll need this to heat the frying pan and cook the eggs over medium heat.

Crack eggs in advance: Crack the eggs into a bowl the night before and store them in the fridge. This saves time in the morning.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out the milk, salt, and pepper ahead of time. Keep them ready to mix.

Use non-stick pan: A non-stick frying pan heats up faster and makes cleanup easier, saving you valuable minutes.

Low heat cooking: Cook on low to medium heat to avoid overcooking. This ensures the scrambled eggs are creamy and perfect.

Batch cooking: Make a larger batch and store leftovers in the fridge. Reheat gently for a quick meal later.
