Are you a bachelor starving at 3 in the morning but do not know how to cook? Or are you an office goer with absolutely no time in the morning to prepare something for the breakfast? Maybe, you are anyone who wants a quick solution to your hunger on your plate.
Scrambled eggs are the best thing to think in such cases. The best part? They are easily accessible to almost everyone. You need nothing but just the regular items available in your fridge or the kitchen.
Scrambled eggs serve almost every way — you can have the dish as your breakfast, lunch or maybe dinner. Its origin dates way back to the Ancient Rome. Yes, ancient Romans had been scrambling and eating scrambled eggs!In fact, scrambled egg is where the idea of making omelettes came from.
The principle difference between the two dishes, namely, scrambled eggs and omelettes is the action you take after pouring the yolk solution in the pan. While you let the omelette get cooked and dry out, you scramble yolk solution into fluffy pieces while making scrambled eggs.
Also, an omelette contains a lot of veggies including pieces of onion, tomato, chilly, coriander leaves, spices, etc.
How to Cook Rice And Their Different Flavor
Following is a guide on making Scrambled Eggs
Things you will need as ingredients:
1. Two eggs (or any number of eggs you want to scramble).
2. 1 tablespoon of water (or milk, cream)
3. Coconut Oil (or any fat, mustard oil, or olive oil).
4. A pinch of salt (according to your taste).Desirable: Pepper (and/or spices you would like to have its flavour in the dish).
1. First of all, take two (or according to servings required) eggs and gently rub the yolk out of them. Collect the yolk extracted in a big bowl.
2. Now, add a pinch of salt according to the taste required and a bit of pepper to the yolk. Also, add a tablespoon of water to the solution.Note that it completely depends upon the choice of your flavour. If you like cheesy, creamy, and fluffy eggs, refrain adding even a drop of water to it. Rather, add an amount of milk or cream to the yolk.
3. Mix the materials in the bowl with a spoon or fork gently. Please take a note that you do not need to make a very adulterate solution. Keep it mixing only up to an extent that it still remains a bit viscous. By here, you have prepared the most fundamental part of the dish.
4. Now, heat up a pan on a low to middle flame. Pour some fat to the pan when the base of the pan is just warm that you could easily touch it. Again, as we mentioned above, it depends on you what kind of flavour would you like to dominate the dish.
By this, we mean that you can add any kind of fat — it may be butter, coconut oil, or olive oil or simply just a thin layer of mustard oil.
5. Wait till the fat layers down and make a thin film on the base of the pan. Once you see the coating of fat, gently pour the solution you made in the above steps. If you feel the need of spices, you can add them here.
6. Spread the solution all over the area of the pan. Keep the flame on still and wait.
The dish is almost ready. Start scrambling randomly as the heat grows. As soon as you feel that the scrambled egg is cooked enough to consume, put it in a plate and serve.
Precautions:
1. Remember not to overcook, it makes the scrambled egg hard, dried out and non-edible.
2. Refrain the use of cast iron. Although, there is no known harm caused by the use of cast iron while scrambling eggs, still it is advisable to avoid its use as it leaves a greenish shade on the dish.
Tips for Making Very Fluffy Scrambled Eggs:
As mentioned above, take the yolk out in a container. Swirl it well but keep it viscous. From here,
in this case, you must use cream or milk in place of water. Also, only use butter or mayonnaise as fat and not coconut/olive, or mustard oils.After you pour the solution in the medially warmed up the pan, very soon you will notice the formation of white belts of on the circumference of the pan. These are cooked part of the solution. Drag them towards the centre of the pan with the help of a pan stick.
By doing this, you would be able to collect most of the fluffed (cooked) egg in the centre while the raw solution will remain over the circumference of the pan which will get cooked eventually.
Once you find the scrambled eggs dry enough to consume, you can pile them out in a plate and serve.While Scrambled Eggs are this easy to prepare and consume, there can be other forms of scrambled eggs. They can be sandwiched inside buns or can be made spicy and flavoured with herbs.
