Perfect scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs are a timeless and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. This recipe will guide you to make perfect, creamy scrambled eggs using just a few simple ingredients: eggs, light sour cream, and butter. Follow these steps to achieve the ideal balance of texture and flavor.

Ingredients:

6 eggs
300g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
Start by gathering all of your ingredients and kitchen implements: a medium-sized mixing bowl, a whisk, a non-stick skillet, and a spatula.
2. Whisk the Eggs:
Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl. Add the light sour cream to the eggs. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and the sour cream is fully incorporated into the eggs. This will help create creamy and fluffy scrambled eggs.
3. Heat the Skillet:
Place the non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-low heat. Drop in the butter and allow it to melt completely. Be sure to spread the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the skillet.
4. Cook the Eggs:
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit for a few seconds until the edges just begin to set. Use a spatula to gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges towards the center. This helps to create soft curds.
5. Continue Cooking:
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring gently every few seconds. Keep the heat low to avoid overcooking the eggs. You want to cook them slowly to maintain their creamy texture.
6. Check for Doneness:
Once the eggs are just about set but still slightly runny (they will continue to cook even after you turn off the heat), remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to perfection.
7. Serve Immediately:
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as toast, avocado, or fresh fruit.

Tips:

- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are completely combined.

- Add the light sour cream to the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. This will help make your scrambled eggs extra creamy.

- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan.

- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds without stirring, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center.

- Cook the eggs slowly over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. This gentle cooking method ensures that the eggs remain tender and do not become overcooked.

- Remove the pan from the heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh herbs such as chives or parsley if desired.

By following these tips and steps, you'll be able to make deliciously creamy and fluffy scrambled eggs every time. The addition of sour cream adds a delightful tang and richness, while cooking the eggs gently with butter ensures a perfect, custardy texture. Enjoy your perfect scrambled eggs as they are, or serve them with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
