Tips and Tricks for the best Cheesy Scrambled Eggs
Sure, we only need three ingredients (+ salt, and pepper) for this recipe, but we still like to follow a few tips and tricks that help make this Cheesy Scrambled Eggs recipe foolproof.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl, without salt, and pepper. We will season the eggs in the end, right before serving. The saltiness will come from adding the cheese, and this way we can control the flavor and seasoning better.
- Add the shredded cheese only when the eggs are already slightly cooked. This way we ensure that the eggs will stay perfectly scrambly, and the cheese will melt beautifully.
- Use a non-stick pan, to prevent sticking and overcooking the eggs.
- Watch the heat. The heat should never be high when making scrambled eggs. When in doubt, lower the heat.
- Use unsalted butter, not oil. Butter makes the eggs extra creamy, custardy, and delicious.
- Use a rubber spatula for folding the eggs. It's so much easier to make longer strokes with a rubber spatula.
- Serve the eggs immediately to ensure the best texture and flavor, or use them in sandwiches, wraps.
