My Favorite Scrambled Eggs
Written by joythebaker on October 28, 2009 – 12:30 am -
These eggs aren’t the only thing that’s scrambled.
My brains…. also pretty scrambled right now.
As far as I see it, there are two solutions to the scrambled brain mess that I’ve got going on inside my head right now: a whole weekend worth of sleep or a bag of fun size Snickers bars.
Aaaand Snickers it is… but first, let me show you what I eat morning, noon and night: scrambled eggs.
Are you picky about how you cook your eggs? Maybe a little? That’s no crime… everyone likes their eggs a different way. I’m more of a dry scramble kind of girl. Here’s my step-by-step guide to eggs for one.
Start with good quality eggs. Fresh medium or large eggs from the farmer’s market are mighty fine.
Break three eggs into a bowl.
Beat eggs lightly with a fork.
Melt just over a tablespoon of butter in a pan over low heat. Add eggs and stir eggs immediately and constantly with a wooden spoon.
It may take 3 to 4 minutes for the eggs to become just set but still creamy. At this point add a scant tablespoon of heavy cream, a small pat of butter and a generous pinch of salt. Continue to stir.
When eggs are scrambled to your liking, remove from the pan, top with a touch more salt and fresh ground pepper, and serve with buttered toast. I garnished my eggs with nasturtium petals (they’re pretty), but chives are also lovely.
((Yes… I just wrote a post about scrambled eggs. That just happened.))

my favorite comfort food.
i love all your recipes you don’t only make them look so awesome they taste epic too!
Scrambled eggs are a favorite of mine as well. As are hard boiled eggs. Yum!
Delish but so fattening! But you’re a skinny thing, you can take it!
My favorite cheap luxury.
My aunt used to make scrambled eggs just like these when I was little. About 8 months ago I finally(!!!) discovered the method and oh.my.God. I really cannot get enough of them. Really the most delicious thing. And now we have friends who keep chickens so I can eat them within 24 hours of being produced!! Yum =)
There’s nothing wrong with posting about eggs. Eggs is one of those things I wish I liked better than I actually do (kinda like yogurt.) I’ll eat them upon occasion but I never get excited about them….unless they’re in a breakfast taco…
I LOVE you. Do you know why I read your blog?
1. Because I can’t cook. Thank you for not judging me for not knowing how to make scrambled eggs. Serious. NO idea. (Okay I knew there were eggs in there somewhere.)
2. You are delightfully witty.
Hey, Joy!!!
Love, love, love your blog. I really liked when you blogged about your 15 year old friend, Tracey. I, too, am 15 and just started a blog yesterday:

Thanks,

My favorite thing to make is scrambled eggs. I recently taught my granddaughter how to make them and she scrambles them up every chance she gets! With melted cheddar cheese rolled inbetween toast. So yummy.
yum, just found my breakfast for today:) thanks for the reminder!
You are so right about people being picky with their eggs. I made “dry” scrambled eggs for years before my husband told me he did not like them. He and my 4 yr old like them a little runny. Ick!
Every saturday morning, where do i end up??? in front of my computer checking out your blog for breakfast inspiration. you’ve never let me down. so here’s a big “THANK YOU”, for your creativity, your wit, your ‘down-to-earth-ness’ and your consistently yummy recipes that are simple enough for me to recreate, yet fabulous enough to make our saturday mornings very special around here.
Just made these….AMAZING! Thanks Joy!
u are too cute! i do something similar, but will definitely have to try this method! thanks for sharing : ))))))
I *heart* your post about eggs.
Yum. That butter on the toast looks INCREDIBLE. These sound so much better than my “scrambled eggs”, which consist of breaking some eggs in a pan and breaking the yolks.
Eggs are DELICIOUS! Especially with a couple of slices of bacon or sauces…oooh or with tomatoes, basil & parmesan inside! YUM.
This is very similiar to a chef in LA who’s show I watched one day – he was a Julia Child fan and used to make them for her. I’m not an egg eater, but my kiddies love ‘em this way. Thanks for sharing the deets.
