Perfectly cooked WSU scrambled eggs

[pianoman9701]

Instructions for scrambling eggs might sound stupid but it's amazing how many people scorch eggs or overcook them into dried out glop. Scramble your eggs in a blender with a TBLS of heavy cream for each one.  Get 'em nice and fluffy.  Heat a cast iron pan first with a TBLS of veg oil and then as it begins to smoke a little, take it off the burner before pouring in the eggs. You'll cook the eggs without scorching. Use a rubber spatula to turn them constantly until cooked. Plate while they're still moist but not runny and they won't dry out. Grate Cougar Gold white cheddar over the top. Add a few drops of truffle oil, salt and pepper, and viola! Perfect scrambled eggs every time.

Sounds amazing  I personally like my scrambled eggs cooked in lots of butter, salt and not quite cooked all the way... I know, it's a heart attack in the making. I agree, lots of people over cook scrambled eggs where they're too dry. If a guy doesn't have cream, sour cream works well too... yum!

Butter and salt are natural and we've been surviving on animal fats for a long, long time.  Our bodies would absorb them better without all the sugars and chemicals we intake.

I like the sound of this method. There's nothing better than a perfect egg.

just keep it in mind that ,the egg's are still cooking when in the pan.and off the burner..
  when you put them on your plate they are still cooking.
  So it just takes practice for perfection.
  I use olive oil,add a little salt,turn and turn.

Where do you get truffle oil, will a regular grocery store have it?

This morning I woke up to three eggs over medium, hash browns, and hot coffee.  Do I have it better than I deserve, or what?

Nice score. I have an electric egg cooker on which I mostly do boiled, but sometimes poached and egg patties. I use the iron more since I bought it, though. After seasoning it for several days, it's an awesome non-stick pan now. I prefer poached done right in water, though. It's messier but the result is better. A little vinegar and a little salt in the water makes all the difference in the world.

I like me some good poached eggs on toast as well, simple yet satisfying.

That is a fact.  They don't taste as good as cooked directly in water, but I am just a failure at that method.  This thing is a no-brainer and takes exactly 3 minutes.

Poached eggs in water take some doing. You need:
Stainless steel skimmer
glass ramekin/custard cup
saucepan with water up at least 3"
Tbsp of vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of salt


Get the water boiling (not too hard), and add the vinegar and salt. Carefully break the eggs into the ramekin. This helps keep the yolk and the albumen sack from breaking. Gently pour the eggs into the boiling water and set the timer for 4 minutes. Put a wooden spoon across the top of the saucepan. The spoon will prevent the water from boiling over if you're not paying attention. When the timer goes off, take the pot off the stove and use the skimmer to remove and drain the eggs. After 4 minutes, the white is cooked but the yolk is runny. 5 minutes firms up the yolk to medium, 6 to hard.
