Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Description of the Dish

The key to good scrambled eggs is to remove them from your hot plate or stove before they overcook. Cooking over a low, even heat allows the eggs to scramble without drying out or tasting rubbery. Adding dairy, such as sour cream—or, alternatively, milk—helps eggs retain moisture and makes them more forgiving so you can count on delicious, fluffy eggs every time. Once you’ve mastered the base, you can get creative by adding sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers and onions and even a teaspoon of freshly chopped herbs, such as chives, to brighten up the dish. — Robin Fields, The Easy Three-Ingredient College Cookbook

Ingredients List

Preparation Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs for 2 minutes or until well combined and small air bubbles form over top of eggs. Whisk in sour cream and salt until fully combined.
  2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Once halfway melted, pour in eggs. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir eggs in a figure-eight pattern. Run the spatula along the sides of the skillet and push eggs to the center before doing another figure-eight pattern. Once eggs begin to firm up (about 2 minutes), turn off the heat.
  3. With the heat off, continue stirring eggs in the same pattern, then scrape the sides until eggs are firm and mostly set. Use the spatula to break eggs into small bite-sized pieces as needed. Serve warm.
