"The Best Scrambled Eggs" The Egg Series.

From the country...

On the search for alternative egg recipes for my second edition to the egg series, I came across this recipe for "The Best Scrambled Eggs". I decided to try to prepare something we cook up all the time, but in a slightly different way. Around here we whisk the eggs with milk, fire up the pan with butter and add the scramble eggs to an already heated pan. This method usually produces a nice fluffy, voluminous scrambled egg.

This recipe does things a little backwards. You basically add the eggs, butter, salt and pepper into the skillet and scrambled them together while the pan is coming to temperature. As the butter melts into the eggs a creamy texture happens.

Rating 7.5 outta 10

Comments: Super creamy and a completely different texture then what we are used to. Really velvety, dense and buttery. Different mouth feel for sure! Not your typical fluffy scrambies. I did not have the caviar or smoked salmon that the recipe suggested as a garnish. Drats! (not too many jars of caviar around here...) Because of the texture, the yield was less then what we would normally get from 5 scrambled eggs. Will make again from time to time.

Next up: Eggs Benedict

Something Different. An egg series.

From the country...

We have ALOT of eggs being laid here. The hens are worth their weight in gold, laying the Best Eggs Ever. I love eggs and could have them every morn but we switch from egg morning to oat/yogurt morning with pancakes/waffles on Sunday. I get slightly irritated on oat morning, it just isn't as satisfying as good ol' eggs. We are lucky here at the farm to be able to go out to the coop and scoop up some warm eggs under the bottoms of some hard working ladies.I could never buy eggs at the grocery store again.

Once you go fresh, you can never go back to mundane.

I digress...

Anyway we grow slightly tired of the standard poached, scrambled, and fried with the odd omelet the we often prepare. I am on a mission to try different way to cook eggs, so the egg series is born! Today I tried soft boiled eggs.

Rating: 6 (out of 10)

I followed the directions cooking them for only 4 minutes but the kids found them a little too runny. The presentation in the egg cups reminded me of Royalty- like getting out the fancy tea cups. Our fresh eggs stuck to the shells a little bit , so next time I will try to use slightly older eggs. You can serve them with toast soldiers so that the kids can dunk them in the yolk.

In conclusion, soft boiled eggs are fun to eat and are kinda fancy. I will cook the eggs longer next time and use older eggs for ease in eating.

Next up coddled eggs.
