The Perfect Fluffy Scrambled Eggs



Ok, well this particular blog post isn't so much a recipe as it is a cooking method. But I promise you, these will be the fluffiest, creamiest and best tasting scrambled eggs you've ever had!


Ingredients: 

3-4 Eggs

1 Heaping Spoon of Butter

1 Tablespoon of Crème fraîche (can sub sour creme)

Salt and pepper to taste


Preparation:

This is where it gets different than your typical scrambled eggs that you are used to making. Its all about on again and off again heat.  

First thing you do is add the butter to a saucepan. Thats right, no skillets here!


Next you are going to add your eggs right into the saucepan, don't premix them either. 


Then over a medium high heat we will put it on and start stirring for about 30 seconds.



Then we are going to take them off the heat for about 30 seconds, never stopping stirring.


Now we are going to repeat this a few times until the eggs start to ribbon up and solidify.

On heat...

Off again.....and repeat. The eggs will continue cooking due to the heat in the pan so pull them off before they are what you could consider fully cooked but close to it. 

Now once they are off the heat for good they will still be cooking in that hot pan, this is when you add your spoonful of Crème fraîche. This obviously adds to the flavor and helps the creaminess but the coolness will stop the cooking process of the eggs as well. 


At this point you can go ahead and add your salt, pepper, maybe some chives or bacon bits. Whatever strikes your fancy!


And there you have it, one hell of a scrambled egg dish! Serve it with some toast, eat by itself, however ya like it, but I promise, you'll love em!
