How do you prepare scrambled eggs?

[Clifton Tesh]

First I have a talk with them and let them know what's about to happen.

I give them some time to say their goodbyes and get their final affair in order.

Then I crack them into a cup and wisk them to shreds with a fork, add a dash of milk, pour in to a hot cast iron skillet, and mix them around with a wooden spatula until they're cooked.

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

That's me, too.

I'm surprised how many people add milk. I thought MIL was just an odd duck. I guess not.

Nope......I'm a duck, too.

I love Chef Ramsay's scrambled eggs.

For 2 people; 5 eggs with one white removed. Melt bacon grease in a sauce pan, whip the eggs with a dash of half and half, a pinch of Kosher salt and a few twists of the pepper mill set on coarse. Pour the mixture in. let it start to cook and tear up 3 slices of Premium American cheese. As the cheese starts to melt, foldthe eggs until they are cooked.

I was taught to use milk for scrambled eggs, water for omelets in junior high Home Ec class.

It turns out that my mother already knew that.

We always add milk. They just aren't fluffy enough without it and they taste better.

Eggs, dash of milk and salt & pepper

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

Very similar. A few drops of water makes them fluffier.

Scrambled eggs contain eggs that are scrambled, nothing more.
But I grew up hearing my mom say how restaurants try and stretch out the eggs by putting milk in.
I know that IHOP makes their eggs fluffier by putting pancake batter in them.

My mom always added a little cold water, so that is what I still do. I know lots of people who add milk including my grandmother.

My biggest problem is that most ppl over cook them IMO. I hate dried out eggs and I really dislike any brown color on them.

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.

Agreed! My MIL does the same thing. I like them how my Mom did them As she says "scramble them so the bounce" They can't be slimy!! And, to possible gross some people out, I add mustard. Just a bit and mash them up.

I love Chef Ramsay's scrambled eggs.

I'm taking away his michelin stars. He forgot the bacon!!! BTW the butter does the same thing as milk.

 

[DVC-Don]

Just a splash of milk, has to be whole milk. That's what my dad taught me, my mother could not cook water.

A splash of milk, pinch of salt and cook in butter. My MIL put herbs du provence in hers because she likes to pretend she is french. Gross.

Waitress: How do you want your eggs?
Me: Scrambled.

I was alone for dinner tonight, and this thread inspired me to do scrambled eggs. I threw in a big hunk of goat cheese, and it was amazing. Eggs are good.

I usually just beat them then pour them into a skillet, or I have used a griddle before too. (Well I will add some olive oil or some spray to the surface first) I know a lot of people add stuff like milk or sour cream, but I just never have.
