Scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast favorite that can be easily elevated with the right ingredients and technique. Our superb scrambled eggs recipe combines the richness of eggs with the creamy texture of sour cream and the buttery flavor of butter, resulting in a delightful and satisfying dish. Follow our simple steps to create perfect scrambled eggs every time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Discard shells.
- Measure out 1 cup of light sour cream.
- Cut 1/4 cup (54 grams) of butter and set aside.
- Have salt and pepper ready for seasoning.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the butter and let it melt completely, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- While the butter is melting, whisk together the eggs and the light sour cream in the bowl until they are fully combined and slightly frothy.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the melted butter.
- Allow the eggs to set slightly without stirring for about 1 minute.
- Gently stir and fold the eggs using a spatula, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking.
- Cook slowly, stirring constantly until the eggs are just cooked through but still creamy and slightly runny. This should take around 5–7 minutes.
6. Season to Taste:
- Just before the eggs finish cooking, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Give the eggs a final gentle stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat to avoid overcooking.
- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately while they're still warm and creamy.
- Add chopped chives, parsley, or green onions for a fresh touch.
- For a more filling meal, serve on toast or alongside sautéed vegetables.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before cooking to ensure a uniform texture.
- Cook the eggs over low heat to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Stir the eggs gently and constantly to create soft, fluffy curds.
- Remove the eggs from the heat slightly before they seem fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Consider adding fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for extra flavor.
Creating superb scrambled eggs is all about balancing the ingredients and cooking them with care. By using light sour cream and butter, you achieve a rich and creamy texture while keeping the flavor light and delicious. With just a few simple steps, you can make scrambled eggs that are perfect for any occasion!
