Simply Good Eggs Recipes

SIMPLY GOOD EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring salt water to a boil and immediately remove pot from heat. Cover pot and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Pour hot water out of pot and run cold water over eggs until completely cool. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise.
• Separate the yolks from the whites of each egg. Mash the yolks in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, pickle relish, sugar, yellow mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to egg yolks and mix until smooth. Spoon yolk mixture into the egg whites and sprinkle paprika over yolk filling. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
• TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
• Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
• Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
• Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.
