You're Doing it Wrong!

How do you make scrambled eggs? Do you premix the eggs in a bowl and do you add milk or water? Do you gently fold the layers repeatedly until the eggs look like stacks of paper or one big blob? Well, that's wrong, that is an omelet.  Don't get me wrong, I love a nice fluffy omelet. When I want scrambled eggs, I want nice creamy flavorful, non-dry, non-runny eggs.Also...What's the difference between white and brown eggs?


Savings: 8-22$ (Restaurants typically charge 1-2$ per egg.)
Ingredients: One dozen organic eggs are roughly
four dollars. Plain white eggs are typically just under two dollars. 
Trust me, organic eggs taste 10x better, in this instance you really "get what you pay for".

First things first, preheat the pan on medium high. Using butter or olive oil will help prevent the eggs from sticking; this is a must if using a steel pan like the one in the picture. Once the pan is very hot (2-4 min), crack the eggs DIRECTLY into the pan. Yes, that is correct...do not premix them.

 Now take the pan immediately off of the heat. Now SCRAMBLE the eggs vigorously. This is not hard, but it requires someone who is passionate about their food. Once you start this process, you cannot leave the pan to make coffee or bacon. That shouldn't matter anyways because eggs should be cooked last any ways and they only take 3-4 minutes to cook and about 75 seconds to get cold.

Place pan back on the heat and continue scrambling. Notice the texture and color of the egg; it's still creamy and starting to get that yellow color. Before the eggs get firm, take it off the heat again.Continue mixing off of the heat to ensure eggs are being evenly scrambled without getting over cooked.

Eventually the eggs will firm up and if you did not leave them on the heat for too long they should be evenly scrambled. They should have a crumbled blue cheese texture on the outside but they should still be very soft and not actually crumble apart. Now you can add salt and pepper and even a little shredded cheese if you wanna go crazy.

These are real scrambled eggs. You should try it for yourself and see how much better they taste. The process is very quick and results in eggs that have more flavor and a creamy but still firm texture. The advantage of buying organic eggs is the delivery process; typically organic eggs are extremely fresh because they are shipped to the stores immediately. The fast delivery ensures they do not lose any flavor from being stored in warehouses and sitting in a back room for long periods. Not to mention the chickens are not given any hormones or antibiotics. 

And here's the difference between white and brown eggs; "It’s a widespread belief that hens with darker feathers and red earlobes produce brown eggs, while hens with white feathers and white earlobes produce white eggs. Kenneth E. Anderson, professor and poultry extension specialist at North Carolina State University, says it’s not an absolute rule, though he does acknowledge that most hens with white earlobes produce white eggs, and most hens with red earlobes produce brown eggs. Ultimately, eggshell color is a matter of a chicken’s genetics." - Chow.com
