I no longer 'scramble' eggs...

[VictorLouis]

Try this hack, and see if you like it.

Put your chosen fat into your chosen pan, but I use a good teflon for this.
Crack your eggs into the pan, but take care not to break yolks if you can.

Now, let the whites start to set-up, all-around. Again, no stirring or whipping.
IF you want to add cheese, or chives or whatever, do so at this point.
Also, your salt, pepper, and whatever.

Using a flexible, thin mixing spatula(like for cake-batter), I then start working the edges inward. 'Folding' it a bit conveys the technique. Though, you're not trying to be careful as with an omellette. Some yolks will break early, some not, but again....you're not trying to mix-it, just gently cook it to the texture you want. This short vid shows the technique, though he whipped the eggs to scramble.

Ideally, I finish up with the some of the runniness left in the yolk. You get multiple textures from the cooked whites, and yolks, and the flavor of some runny yolk. Plus, the contrast of the white and yellow is kinda neat, vs. the atypical pale blah of traditional scrambled.

Well, Victor.... Um... Enjoy!

(Interesting about the large "tad" of water. I've used milk, in the past, but never water.)

I was always told water makes fluffier scrambled eggs

Hmmm… I guess I have never thought of scrambled eggs as “blah.” I love them, and I would probably eat them at least 5-times/week - if I didn’t think they would soon kill me. Breakfast food is great. I think I’ll go make some blueberry pancakes right now. This egg-cooking technique strikes me as way too sophisticated for my skill (patience) and taste levels.

I use heavy whipping cream.

My Mama cooked wheelbarrow loads of scrambled eggs for me and my two brothers when we were little boys. With grits and toast ... it would keep us going until we were able to get to our sack lunches at school! Have some precious memories of growing up eating breakfast for supper. Would pay serious money to have more scrambled eggs cooked by my Mama, even more if I could share them with my brothers and my Father. Sincerely. bruce.

That's the way I like my eggs cooked. I call it soft-scrambled .

I call it an omelet! Fill it with cheese, sausage, or mushrooms.

Plus onions and bell pepper. Larry

In this house we call that "frambled eggs".
The guy in the video is using a metal spatula in a non-stick pan and is therefore not credible.

My chickens thank you for the tip!

I always called it loose scrambled. It's the way I almost always do it. I do break the yokes but then let it sit a bit before slowly turning (or folding if you prefer). I like the scramble left kind of chunky with the white and yoke not totally mixed up but in little slabs.

My secret to perfect soft-scrambled eggs, omelettes and frittatas is to let Ruthie make them.

I win.

Got a laugh from the video and the paper towels by the toaster.

Some choose to live dangerously. LOL

I just take 3 eggs, whip them up good, add some half-n-half, then scramble in a buttered skillet with some shredded cheddar. I like them cooked medium.

I like the technique of leaving the yolks whole until the end. I’m going to try it next time.

Here is a excellent tutorial explaining the different techniques to make a country omelette vs a French omelette.

That is the way I cook them!

This time of the year I like my eggs nogged.

That is the way I scramble my eggs. We call it ranch style, and I did learn how on a ranch in California. I also like them easy over and an omelet. I put Cheddar cheese on all three ways. Salsa on the omelet.
My Army MOS was cook, and I have scrambled a lot of eggs. After cracking about 20 dozen eggs, my hands would be numb from the cold. We learned to use both hands. Just eggs, no milk or cheese. The military called them an omelet if there was anything added.
