Creamy scrambled eggs are a delightful twist on the classic scrambled eggs recipe. With a rich and smooth texture, these eggs are perfect for a luxurious breakfast or brunch. Adding light sour cream and butter not only enhances the creaminess but also adds depth of flavor. Chopped chives and fresh tomatoes provide a burst of freshness, making this dish both indulgent and balanced.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under running water.
- Carefully dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack open the 6 eggs.
- Whisk the eggs until they're fully blended and have a consistent color.
- Add the light sour cream into the bowl with the beaten eggs.
- Continue whisking until the sour cream is well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is warm, lightly coat it with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
- Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling the pan to ensure the butter covers the entire surface.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet.
- Cook the tomatoes until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg and sour cream mixture into the skillet with the tomatoes.
- Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
- Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are almost set. The residual heat will finish cooking them while keeping them creamy.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives over the scrambled eggs.
- Give it a gentle stir to distribute the chives evenly.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- Whisk thoroughly: Whisk the eggs thoroughly to break up the yolks and mix them evenly. This ensures a consistent texture throughout.
- Low and slow: Cook the eggs on low heat to avoid overcooking and maintain their creaminess. Patience is key for the perfect texture.
- Gentle stirring: Stir the eggs gently and continuously. This helps to cook them evenly and prevents large curds from forming.
- Add butter at the right moment: Add butter halfway through the cooking process. This melts into the eggs, adding richness and helping to achieve the creamy texture.
- Fold in sour cream gently: Fold in the sour cream just before the eggs are fully cooked to keep the texture silky and creamy.
- Fresh ingredients: Use fresh chives and tomatoes for the best flavor. Adding them at the end preserves their freshness and brightens the dish.
