Cooking scrambled eggs just isn’t that complicated.
Hard to go wrong when you add a tablespoon of butter per egg.
Basic...two or more eggs, milk or half & half measured appropriately, a little butter in the pan. heat until cooked as desired.
But these days everyone is a wannabe Chef.
“Cooking scrambled eggs just isn’t that complicated.”
Except for those who want it to be so.
Here is Anthony Bourdain’s recipe. From

Scrambled eggs might seem like a simple dish, but there’s a lot of debate about how to make them the right way.
Top chef Anthony Bourdain is here to settle this breakfast dispute, once and for all. In a recent video for Tech Insider, the culinary king shared his simple secrets for making the perfect scrambled eggs.
First, you need four simple ingredients: eggs, butter, salt, and pepper. He emphasizes that the eggs must be very fresh—because after all, they’re the star of the show here.
Heat up a pan so it’s hot, but “not too terribly hot”. Then crack your eggs on a flat surface and deposit them into a bowl or cup. Next, beat the eggs with a fork—being careful not to over-beat them—to achieve a “ripple of white and yellow throughout.” Add salt and pepper, but nothing else—no water, no milk, and no cream. “It’s about the egg,” he says in the video. “You’re not making a quiche here.”
Immediately after mixing the eggs, deposit them into the preheated pan with plenty of hot, foaming butter. Anthony emphasizes that you shouldn’t let the eggs sit before cooking them. Let them “form up a little bit” in the pan before pushing them around in a figure-eight pattern. This folding technique helps achieve fluffy eggs with a favorable texture (and none of those little broken bits).
“Like a lot of really good, simple things, more often then not, people find a way to overcomplicate them and screw them up,” says Bourdain. So remember: It’s breakfast, not brain surgery.
You’d think but with very few exceptions I have yet to come across a restaurant that has grasped the concept.
“Cooking scrambled eggs just isn’t that complicated.”
Exactly. Pseudo-intellectuals think they, and only they, have the secrets to the world simple tasks. They’re not very bright if scrambled eggs are a puzzle.
How do y’all make scrambled eggs? I might try to make them your way and report back on how they were.
is anybody else sick of our betters telling us what to do and how to do it and that we’re so stupid that we can’t make scrambled eggs properly?
The secret is being competent enough with a spat that ‘over easy’ is actually a thing and doesn’t become scrambled.
3 farm fresh jumbos every morning with meat. It’s been Jimmy Deans sausage lately but I am kinda going a little carnivore/lion diet with a thin steak or sirloin burger with A-1.
Yum yum.
Nope!...but I'm sure as a Marine you might want to think...Maybe “Gunny” does have a better way to approach this...Its worth a try!....*wink*...after all..its only scrambled eggs...
I use one of these. Spray a little Pam, break the egg in it, scramble with a fork and cook in the microwave 40 seconds. Done. I love eggs and am not picky about them.
