Egg chatterbox. Scrambled Eggs - Step by Step Recipe

06.11.2019 Salads

Scrambled eggs are probably the most popular breakfast dish, not only in our country, but in the whole world. Each country has its own numerous recipes for scrambled eggs, well, and the simplest of them is, of course, scrambled eggs. It is with this dish that the path to culinary begins most often, it is this dish for many that is the first self-prepared, and even in distant childhood.

Over time, our culinary skills improve, many become real aces in culinary. But the very first dish is still relevant and in demand, not only because it is quickly prepared, but also because it is unusually tasty and healthy.

Even children know how to cook scrambled eggs. So with me, such scrambled eggs were the first independent dish. We called it "Shake". Often I cook it and now, I think, soon my granddaughter will master this simple recipe.

We need two eggs for one serving, but this, of course, is very individual: someone wants all four. Wash the eggs, break them into a bowl and add salt. You can add pepper immediately, or you can add pepper to an already prepared dish.

Mix the eggs well with a whisk, fork or spoon. You don't need to whip, just make it so that the mass is homogeneous. Add a little water - 1-2 tablespoons per egg - and mix again.

You can start frying. Before pouring the eggs, heat the pan well with butter or vegetable oil. The edges will immediately "grip".

Move the toasted edges with a spatula. The liquid egg mass will immediately rush to the vacant place. We also move the new fried mass aside, and so on until all the liquid is fried. It takes only a few minutes.

If the scrambled eggs lose their shape, it's not scary. For scrambled eggs, this is perfectly acceptable.

Put it on a plate. You can use it both independently and with various additions - bacon, tomatoes, herbs, cheese, etc.

Chatterbox - breakfast is every bit as tasty as a proper French omelet, and at the same time, perhaps easier to prepare. The ideal scrambled eggs take some practice to know exactly when the moment is right to stir the eggs in the pan or remove them from the heat, but practice is profitable. However, to cook with a chatterbox without filling is to deprive ourselves of special pleasure, and we don't want that, right? Therefore, you can safely use this recipe for cooking both ordinary (but ideal) chatterbox, and for scrambled eggs with a variety of fillings.

Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt, beat with a fork and let sit for 10-15 minutes while you work on the rest of the ingredients. What you need to do with them depends on the fillings you choose: chopped greens, grated cheese, finely chopped tomatoes should be added to the egg mixture just before frying, and the ham, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers should be quickly fried in a pan before you add eggs.

There is only one exception: bacon, which I prefer to fry beforehand and add to the plate. If you use it, put the pan on a low-medium heat (it is better to use the one with a non-stick coating and a flexible silicone spatula - bacon does not care, but scrambled eggs will be easier to cook with scrambled eggs), fry the bacon strips until golden brown and transfer to paper towels if you cook eggs without bacon - melt a piece of butter in a frying pan. Pour most of the butter (or melted fat) over the eggs and stir quickly, add the filling as described above and pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

After waiting 20 seconds for the eggs to grab slightly, begin with gentle movements of the scapula to shift them from the edges to the middle, so that the eggs, which have already acquired a dense consistency, are mixed with the still liquid ones. Stir the contents of the pan every 10 seconds, and when you notice that there are almost no liquid areas left, stir the eggs one last time and remove from heat: they will reach perfect creaminess in the cooling pan on their own. Arrange the eggs in bowls, season with black pepper, add fried bacon, garnish with chopped herbs and grated cheese, drizzle with truffle oil if you have one, and serve immediately with breakfast.

Scrambled eggs - recipe for cooking in water


Ingredients

  • Eggs - 3 pieces
  • Chilled boiled water - 100 g
  • Refined olive oil - 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Spices to taste

Cooking scrambled eggs with water is similar to cooking with milk. The only difference is that the egg mixture is prepared by replacing milk with water.

  1. Pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil into a frying pan or thick-walled pan. We put on a slow fire. Strong fire dries up the finished dish.
  2. Prepare an egg mixture of eggs, chilled boiled water, salt, spices. First, mix thoroughly until the eggs are homogeneous, then add cooled boiled water, salt, spices.
  3. Do not whisk the ingredients into a foam, but gently mix with a fork, whipping movements until smooth.
  4. Pour the prepared mixture into the heated olive oil.
    When the protein begins to curl, begin to gently stir the mixture with a wooden spatula to the middle of the pan (saucepan), forming soft egg grains.
  5. We remove the chatterbox from the fire when all the fried eggs acquire a grainy texture. Due to the internal heat, the eggs will quickly reach readiness. Overcooked chatterbox loses the softness and delicate creaminess of the lumps.
  6. Freshly fried scrambled eggs are served hot, You can put the eggs on bran bread toast, season with chopped herbs. You can decorate the dish with baked cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms.

Ingredients:

1. Vegetable oil (sunflower, corn, olive) 1-3 tbsp. spoons, as if in fried eggs.

2. Eggs (depending on the composition of the family, there are four of us, but it is possible less, more can be) - 5 pcs.

3. Slice of bacon, ham or ham (I have a ham) 1-2 pcs

4. A small piece of cheese - here 3 pieces of medium thickness "Russian".

5. Cucumber and tomato were not included in the photo (they were found later).

6. Greens - there is parsley, but the basil is also very suitable, it just ran out, and the new one has not yet matured.

So - it's time to pour the oil into the pan and while it is heating we chop the meat and cheese into cubes.

Eggs in a bowl and pepper (or other favorite spices) in my case SMP (fresh ground pepper), BUT do not salt! There is salt in cheese and meat :).

And whip, without fanaticism, tk. no time.

Here it is necessary to make a small explanation - it is necessary to stir on the fire immediately and continuously, I paused for photographing, because the quality of the finished product was reduced. What can you do - documentary filming.

Pour into a frying pan.

We do not stop interfering (fotik, infection, does not).

Cheese with meat would be needed almost immediately (after 10 seconds), but it doesn't matter.

If the pan is hot, then the dish becomes ready in 40-60 seconds. The main sign of readiness is protein folding, as soon as all the protein is curdled - covered with a lid - turn off the heat. And set the table at a run, and here the kettle began to sing. Rushing into the refrigerator for a creamy one brought two additional trophies: a cucumber and a tomato - to their cause! There would have been time, I would have hit the road to the garden for a green onion, but the crowd had already rushed in, and then my back thought suggested adding a couple of slices of sweet pepper, but everything had already been eaten.

Well, here's the result:

As a result, the dish took 4 minutes (the fotik took time) and the whole breakfast in 7 minutes. The son was not late for school, the whole family had breakfast.

P.S. In our family, we call such a dish scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs (because you have to stir or "chat" all the time). Of course, this food looks more like a yum, but there is one BUT! The eggs prepared in this way are very tender, because they do not have prolonged contact with hot surfaces and, as a result, they are simply delicious. Cheese and meat (by the way, it is possible without meat) simply expand, complement the taste. By the way, if you add cheese right away, it disappears visually - it mixes with the egg almost completely, but the aroma remains. Well, the main bonus is time!
