Double Boiler Scrambled Eggs Recipes

FRENCH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Place 1-inch of water in the bottom of a double boiler and heat until boiling, reduce the heat to very low.
• When the water is simmering, place the top of the double boiler over the water.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and heat until melted.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl just until combined.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces, salt to taste and a grinding of pepper.
• Pour into the double boiler.
• Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs are thickened into soft curds, 10 to 15 minutes.
• To serve, place a slice of toast on the side of each of two plates and spoon the eggs into the center.

SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 1-2 inches water in the bottom of a heavy saucepan or double boiler until just simmering- not boiling.
• Place eggs, cream, and salt in a small mixing bowl, and with a fork, whisk until it is fairly homogenized (mass of white will start to break up), but take it easy- don't try to make whipped cream or meringue here.
• Place a stainless mixing bowl or top of the double boiler over the water and add the butter to the pan, swirling it as it melts.
• When the butter is completely melted, add the eggs to the pan.
• You should not see instant action around the edges of the egg- if you do, your heat is way too high.
• Don't jump right in with your spoon and stir the things to death.
• As they start to cook, you will see curds form from the bottom.
• Using a spoon or spatula, gently lift these curds to the top to allow the uncooked egg to flow beneath.
• As it cooks more, it will be more a matter of lifting and folding, than stirring them briskly.
• When the eggs are almost set (still a little wet looking), remove them from the pan, as they will cook a little more on their own.
• If you desire smaller curds, you can chop the egg a bit and stir lightly.
• Garnish with fresh herbs, such as chives, chervil, parsley or tarragon before serving.

BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Lightly whisk 2 large eggs, 6 tbsp single cream or full cream milk and a pinch of salt together until the mixture has just one consistency.
• Heat a small non-stick frying pan for a minute or so, then add a knob of butter and let it melt. Don't allow the butter to brown or it will discolour the eggs.
• Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit, without stirring, for 20 seconds. Stir with a wooden spoon, lifting and folding it over from the bottom of the pan.
• Let it sit for another 10 seconds then stir and fold again.
• Repeat until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places. Remove from the heat and leave for a moment to finish cooking.
• Give a final stir and serve the velvety scramble without delay.
