How do you prepare scrambled eggs?

[DizBelle]

For me, I just scramble the eggs and cook. MIL adds milk and I don't really like them. I'm not sure why you would add milk. It just dilutes them.

I just let my chef figure that stuff out.

I beat them very well , add a couple of drops of water and beat again, add some Mrs Dash original, and scramble in the pan

My dad always added milk when I was a kid. I thought it was to "stretch" them to feed more people.

DS likes them dry and fluffy, so I don't add anything.

How did I know you would be the first one to reply to this thread? lol Let's see how your new friend Shirley would do it, or would that be left to husband # 5, who must be on the horizon by now?

I add milk. I've never known any other way.

I remember when I was a kid I used to take home children's cookbooks and the had a recipe for scrambled eggs where they added a little milk to make the eggs light and fluffy. I just scramble them good with a little salt and pepper and I like to cook them in butter. DH uses oil which I don't like as much.

Eggs + splash of half and half + dash of salt. Cooked just until firm--I hate overcooked scrambled eggs.

I put a little half-and-half in them along with a drizzle of olive oil.

Makes them fluffier.

I crack them in a cup, beat them with a fork, add salt and pepper, and cook them in a wonderful cast iron omelette pan with a little bit of melted butter. I prefer them soft scrambled. MY mother made hers with milk and cooked them until they were starting to brown. YUK!

Shirley is more of a Willy friend than mine. I've seen her around, but have really not gotten involved in her shenanigans for the most part.

good thing, you might get added to her list as a potential 'next husband'!

Something I've been avoiding from the start.

Fried in bacon grease ;p

When i do scramble, I usually just use butter, but will sometimes add a splash of milk.

 

[Vicki926]

A splash of water per egg. I used to do milk, but I saw a chef once in Oprah that said a teaspoon(tablespoon?) of water per egg, salt, pepper and that's the perfect scrambled egg..so that's what I do.

Just eggs (no milk or water) with a little butter in pan. Cook low and slow, folding often with a little salt, pepper, and Old Bay!

I was taught to make them with milk, which does seem to make them a bit runny. Until Alton Brown told me to use butter only on his old show. Can't remember the name of it, but I loved that show. And I really hate to cook. So scrambled eggs with buttered pan for me only now.

Maybe MIL just adds too much milk. They turn out this super pale yellow.

 

[BrianL]

I use a little milk, but very little. Then salt & pepper, and cheese if I have it.

 

[JaneBanks]

Just eggs, salt&pepper, cheese sometimes. I butter my pan and I "stir" the eggs constantly until ready. I take them off of the pan when they still look a little "wet" and they are cooked perfectly.
