I want my scrambled eggs to look this way...?!


Question: I want my scrambled eggs to look this way!.!.!.!?
I want them to look like they do at most restaurants!. I went to Bob Evans and their scrambled eggs are king of flipped and folded around, moist, and a heck of a lot better than how I learned to make them!.

I beat my eggs with a fork, add a little milk, then toss them in the pan and as they cook I chop 'em up!. Quick and crazy lol!. And they are pretty dry!. I'm always afraid I will under cook them!.

But how can I change my ways and make them restaurant style!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Heat your pan well before cooking!. Add in your oil and then pour the eggs in!. Tilt the pan and with a heat tolerant spatula or wooden spoon pull the cook eggs up so raw egg pours onto the hot bare part of the pan!. Repeat until the egg no longer runs and remove from heat!. Fold over and leave in pan for about another minute!. Serve!.

The way restaurants cook is they have a large heavy flat griddle!. The eggs are ladled onto it and they are folded over with a hamburger turner!. It usally takes less than a minute to cook!. Cooking eggs fast keeps them moist!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Basically follow these omlet tips just don't add any omlet fillers!.


Whisk together the eggs with a little milk or water, your choice but just a quick splash!. Or put them in the blender for a really light and fluffy omlet!.

Heat a medium sized pan on hi!. Add butter, olive oil what ever fat you want to use!. When the pan and oil are heated pour in the egg!. Immedietly reduce the heat to medium low!.

Using a spatula (I like the rubber ones best for this part) slowly scrape the edges in!. The runny egg will fill in, in the "wake"!. Work your way around the pan letting it "crumple" up!. Don't over cook or of mex the eggs in the pan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The secret to scrambled egg fluffiness is getting this concept: You are not "cooking" the eggs, you are "setting" the eggs!.
The mix looks fine, make sure the pan is not too hot!. A little butter should bubble in the pan, not sizzle!.
Pour the eggs in, wait a little until the egg on the bottom starts to set a little, tilt the pan one way and gently move the slightly set part up so that the unset part flow down!. level off the pan!.
Leave it a little then repeat until lthe eggs are set through!.
Get them out of the pan and away from the heat fast to stop the cooking process!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mine are always fluffy and moist!. I add one teaspoon of cottage cheese for every egg I am scrambling!. It makes them so light and fluffy!!!!!! :)
I beat them pretty well with a fork or whisk, then cook them on medium-low heat, with a little Smart Balance melted in the pan!. I'm gentle with them and flip large sections with a silicone spatula!. When they look slightly dry but are moist to the touch (NOT drippy though), they are done!.
YUMMY!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cook them over a lower heat!. You could also try throwing in a bit of butter in as they cook!. also, rather than "chopping" the eggs as they cook, try using a spatula to lift up sections of the firmer, cooked eggs as they set!.

Good luck!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Whip them with the milk like you are doing!.!.!. but cook them in a pot, not a pan!. And use the fork while cooking them!.!.!. don't chop them up in the pot, beat/whip them while they cook!. So they get a fluffy texture and not a dry choppy look!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've tried to make eggs all different ways, but the best way to make them light and fluffy is cream, and then either blend or beat before you put them into the pan!. the better the eggs and dary are mixed, the easier they will be to cook properly!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I used to cook mine like you do!. But now I always do them in the microwave and they come out perfect and oh so fluffy and light and tasty!. Depends how many eggs you use!.!.!.!.but cook it for about 2 mins them give a light stir then another 1 minute or so!. You wont go back to frying them again !Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eggs continue to cook after they're off the heat source!. When they look a little loose, they're actually done - call everyone to the table!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

maybe beat your eggs a bit then put the milk in and beat it until it is all air rated and yeah also dont cook it for to long!! Www@FoodAQ@Com
