Egg Scramble Recipe

Eggs: The main ingredient, providing protein and a rich, creamy texture.

Milk: Adds creaminess and helps to make the eggs fluffy.

Butter: Used for cooking the eggs, adding a rich flavor and preventing sticking.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the eggs.

Pepper: Adds a touch of spice and depth to the dish.

For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of cream or half-and-half instead of milk. Also, make sure to cook the eggs on low to medium heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a soft, fluffy scramble.

• eggs - Substitute with tofu: Tofu can be crumbled and cooked similarly to eggs, providing a similar texture and protein content.

• eggs - Substitute with chickpea flour: When mixed with water, chickpea flour creates a batter that can mimic the texture of scrambled eggs.

• milk - Substitute with almond milk: Almond milk is a dairy-free alternative that provides a similar creamy texture without the lactose.

• milk - Substitute with oat milk: Oat milk is another dairy-free option that adds a slight sweetness and creaminess to the scramble.

• butter - Substitute with olive oil: Olive oil is a healthier fat option that can be used to cook the scramble, adding a subtle flavor.

• butter - Substitute with coconut oil: Coconut oil provides a rich texture and a slight coconut flavor, making it a good alternative to butter.

• salt - Substitute with soy sauce: Soy sauce can add a salty and umami flavor to the scramble, enhancing its taste.

• salt - Substitute with nutritional yeast: Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, savory flavor while also providing additional nutrients.

• pepper - Substitute with paprika: Paprika can add a mild heat and a smoky flavor to the scramble.

• pepper - Substitute with cumin: Cumin provides a warm, earthy flavor that can complement the other ingredients in the scramble.

• Allow the egg scramble to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the eggs watery.
• Transfer the cooled egg scramble to an airtight container. For best results, use a container that fits the amount of eggs snugly to minimize air exposure.
• Store the container in the refrigerator. The egg scramble will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the egg scramble. Place the cooled eggs in a freezer-safe container or a resealable plastic bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the container or bag with the date to keep track of its freshness.
• When ready to reheat, thaw the frozen egg scramble in the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat the egg scramble in a microwave-safe dish. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until warmed through.
• Alternatively, reheat the egg scramble on the stovetop. Place the eggs in a non-stick pan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated evenly.
• Avoid overcooking during reheating to maintain the soft, creamy texture of the egg scramble.

• Stovetop Method:

  1. Place a non-stick frying pan over low heat.
  2. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to the pan.
  3. Add the leftover egg scramble to the pan.
  4. Stir occasionally until the eggs are warmed through, being careful not to overcook.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place the egg scramble in a microwave-safe dish.
  2. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap.
  3. Heat on medium power for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the eggs are heated evenly.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Spread the egg scramble evenly in an oven-safe dish.
  3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the eggs from drying out.
  4. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are thoroughly heated.

• Double Boiler Method:

  1. Fill a pot with a few inches of water and bring it to a simmer.
  2. Place a heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
  3. Add the egg scramble to the bowl.
  4. Stir occasionally until the eggs are warmed through, ensuring they remain soft and moist.

• Mixing bowl: A container used to combine the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper thoroughly.

• Whisk: A utensil used to beat or stir the egg mixture until well combined.

• Frying pan: A flat-bottomed pan used to cook the egg mixture over medium heat.

• Spatula: A tool used to gently stir and fold the eggs as they cook, ensuring they remain soft and fluffy.

• Measuring cup: A tool used to measure the milk accurately.

• Measuring spoons: Tools used to measure the salt and pepper to taste.

• Stove: The appliance used to heat the frying pan and cook the eggs.

• Serving plate: A dish used to serve the scrambled eggs immediately after cooking.

Pre-crack the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl the night before and store in the fridge. This saves time in the morning.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out the milk, salt, and pepper in advance. This makes the cooking process quicker.

Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick frying pan reduces the need for constant stirring and makes cleanup easier.

Keep tools handy: Have your whisk and spatula ready to go. This minimizes downtime during cooking.

Cook on medium heat: Cooking on medium heat ensures the eggs cook evenly and quickly without burning.
