Best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had. I’m thinking of just ditching the whites altogether when I make eggs from now on.

Doooo iiiiiit. The whites are lame anyway :grin:

I do make a mean crepe-like omelette where the whites do actually matter, but other than that I can live without them!

No see, you can’t throw teasers like that out without more info… a crepe like omelette???

I think we’re officially food buddies?? And it amuses me that we’re bonding over eggs, because I’m not actually a big fan of them. This and the bacon hollandaise are the only 2 ways I eat them.

Here’s my recipe:

For a 2 egg omelette, I use a 10 inch nonstick skillet - you’ll want a larger skillet if you want to use 3 eggs. Cast iron or stainless don’t work as well.

Heat the skillet on medium-low and add 2 tbsp fat (bacon fat, obv, or butter/oil). In a bowl, scramble eggs and a splash of heavy cream until very well combined. When you lift your fork from the eggs, the egg should run down in a smooth stream - if you have plops of egg, keep scrambling.

Pour eggs into the skillet once the fat is warm and melted. Once they begin setting, use a rubber spatula to begin scrambling them around. Stop when you have some partially scrambled pieces but it’s still liquid enough to just coat the bottom of the pan when you tilt it around. Reduce heat to low and add salt and pepper.

Let cook on low until the top is mostly set. Add in your choice of toppings - I usually do 1.5oz shredded cheese and 2oz cubed ham or chorizo. You can put the cheese all over but try to put the meat down the center. Let sit undisturbed until the cheese is melted.

Use the spatula to gently fold into thirds and then roll out onto a plate. Top with more cheese, sour cream, and/or chives. I usually just go for a dollop of sour cream.

Side note, I tried putting pepperoni in the middle to make a pizza omelette and this was NOT a good choice. The pepperoni made the whole thing so greasy it was inedible.

You make it sound so simple, yet I have total confidence I’ll screw it up and end up with a pile of scrambled eggs.

Win win.

I’ve found a couple brands without added sugar and low carbs at Sprouts. I don’t recall the names but I just read the labels. I have since seen this Rao’s everyone speaks of :slight_smile:


#9347

If nothing else, now you have two new ways of making tasty scrambled eggs :joy:


#9348
