New York Steak Salad With Scrambled Eggs Recipes

NEW YORK-STYLE CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• Lay out the greens and all the fixings in small dishes.
• Have a big stainless bowl with tongs. Have everyone build their own salad by throwing what they want into the bowl. Toss and tip the salad onto a cutting board. With 2 knives, quickly chop the salad so that it's chopped into smaller pieces. Throw it back into the metal dish and toss with Herby Ranch Dressing.
• Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
• Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, parsley, chives, oregano, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Chill for a couple of hours before serving.

PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME SALAD WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, toss together the parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and watercress. Add the vinegar, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside. In a medium-size skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until nearly crisp. Lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper.
• Turn the heat to low, add the eggs and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the salad and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and continue to toss, as the eggs continue to cook from the heat of the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve immediately.

SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk together until light and airy.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Add the eggs to the pan and wait about 10 seconds for them to start to set up. Swirl them with a rubber spatula to create soft curds. Season with salt and continue swirling until the curds are set but still a little wet.
• Garnish with chives, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Serve with roasted tomatoes and peasant bread.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
• Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
• Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them, just until the yolks and whites are combined. Season with salt and pepper and beat in the cream.
• Put a medium skillet, preferably non-stick, over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the butter or oil and swirl it around the pan. After the butter melts, but before it foams, turn the heat to low.
• Add the eggs to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. At first nothing will happen; after 10 minutes or so, the eggs will begin to form curds. Do not lose patience: Keep stirring, breaking up the curds as they form, until the mixture is a mass of soft curds. This will take 30 minutes or more. Serve immediately.
