It’s a Matter of Opinion

The first thing we’ll get out of the way is that this topic is certainly a matter of opinion. There are so many different ways to make scrambled eggs, and thus milk is certainly not required for them to taste amazing. However, we’d be remiss if we didn’t explain why milk can truly elevate this dish.

A Creamier Texture

While yes, you don’t HAVE to add milk to your scrambled egg mixture, it certainly adds a nice element to it. A creamy texture is what you’ll get if you include milk and even some extra richness in the taste. However, if you’re lactose intolerant, or you’ll simply just trying to eat less dairy, you can still make a perfectly good batch of eggs without milk!

Instructions:

Hollandaise Sauce

1. In a food processor, combine egg yolks and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
2. While the food processor is running, slowly stream in the melted butter until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper. Keep the Hollandaise warm.

Poached Eggs

1. Fill a large, shallow pan with water and add white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.
2. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool. Poach for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.
3. Use a slotted spoon to lift the poached eggs from the water and drain on a paper towel.

Putting It Together

1. Place a toasted English muffin on each plate. Butter each muffin and top with half a slice of smoked salmon. Carefully place a poached egg on each salmon-covered muffin.
2. Generously spoon Hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs.
3. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Garnish with chopped fresh chives for an extra burst of flavor.

Mozzarella

Mozzarella is one of the most popular cheeses in the world, and for good reason. Although it’s usually found on pizza, Mozzarella is so versatile that it can also make your omelet taste amazing. Its mild yet rich flavor is something that you really can’t go wrong with.

Cheddar

Many believe that Cheddar is the best cheese for omelets, and they certainly make a compelling argument. Its strong flavor pairs amazingly well with it, and its bright orange color adds a nice touch from a visual standpoint (if you care about that sort of thing).

Pepper Jack

Finally, if you like a little spiciness in your eggs, Pepper Jack is for you. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but those who enjoy it swear by it to anyone who will listen. Give it a shot and see how you like it!

A New Idea

In order to make fluffier eggs, many people use a little bit of milk. While this is fine, there’s something better. Next time you’re making scrambled eggs, try adding a dollop of sour cream per every two eggs and watch them turn into the creamiest, most delicious breakfast you’ve ever had.

Such a small amount of sour cream won’t change the flavor or color of your eggs, but it will add richness and make them fluffy, and you definitely want that. Full-fat sour cream is best, but you can also use non-fat sour cream and get a similar effect without adding too many calories. Just whip the two ingredients together before pouring them in the pan and watch the breakfast magic happen! You’ll never make eggs without sour cream again.

People typically keep the eggs in the fridge, so when it comes to using them, we don’t always remember to take them out in advance. You probably didn’t know this, but the egg temperature can affect the baking process, and using cold eggs from the fridge is really not a good idea.

If you want to make the fluffiest, lightest cookies, you want to use room-temperature eggs. It’s really that simple, and this little hack can make the whole difference in the final result. Unlike cold eggs, room-temperature eggs will mix better with the other ingredients. If you plan to bake in advance, take the eggs out of the fridge the night before. If you didn’t do that, letting them sit in warm water for a few minutes will also do the trick.

Published by TikTok user @reducedfatmeal, who posts a lot of food videos and often makes eggs, and this video blew up in just a few days. People shared it a lot, which resulted in nearly 100,000 likes. One of the reasons is that not everyone likes it, which makes it a bit controversial. We get that from different comments under the video that clearly show that people are divided about this one.

The video owner starts by cracking an egg above a frying pan, but he only lets the whites drop out of the shell. He then swirls the pan so that the egg whites create a big, thin layer before he places the yolk in the middle of it.

The best part comes next. Using chopsticks, he folds the egg whites over the yolk, kind of like an envelope. The final product looks delicious, especially with the green onions and the sauce he uses. It’s time to head to the kitchen to try this technique and see if it’s really as good as it looks!

TikTok Hack

Luckily, there’s a new hack that allows you to get perfectly hard-boiled eggs day after day with virtually no effort. It only requires an air fryer, and if you already have one, you’re probably looking for new ways to use it anyway. We found this tip on TikTok, where it was published by user @kortneyandkarlee.

The instructions are simple: just place an egg in the air fryer and let it cook for 15 minutes at 270° F. Once the 15 minutes are up, take the egg and put it in the bowl with some cold water and ice to stop the cooking process. While your breakfast is preparing, you can do something else and efficiently save time.

Making the perfect hard-boiled eggs has never been easier! Enjoy your simple breakfast without stress whenever you want.

My favorite way to prepare eggs is to scramble them with other ingredients, and the following recipe for a Western Egg Scramble is a classic option that takes just minutes to prepare. Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 slices of deli turkey
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 ounce diced onion
• 1 ounce sliced red and green peppers
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil

Instructions

Start off by heating a tablespoon or so of olive oil on medium heat in a medium skillet. When the oil has heated up, add the three large eggs and scramble them with your spatula.

Next, begin to add shredded pieces of deli turkey and cheddar cheese, your diced onion, and the sliced red and green peppers. Mix in and allow them to cook along with the eggs, adding a touch of salt and black pepper, to taste.

After just a couple of minutes, your eggs should be fluffy and ready to serve and eat. Bon appetit and enjoy your breakfast!

Poached

Poached eggs are fantastic on toast or in a salad. They are boiled in water without their shells to make a firm white body with a runny yolk. Add some salt and pepper, and you have yourself a delicious start to the day.

Soft Boiled

Another classic technique for preparing your eggs is to soft boil them. Add the eggs to boiling water for around two minutes, and then serve in their shells. The egg white should have a gooey consistency and the yolk should be runny. Dip in slices of toast and enjoy!

Scrambled

If you prefer your eggs without a runny yolk, try scrambling them. Mix the egg white and yoke together and fry over a gentle heat. Scrambled eggs are best served on toast or with sausages and tomato.

Omelet

If you are looking for something a bit more substantial, a great option is an omelet. Fry whisked egg until its firm, and add your pick of toppings.

Fried

The easiest and quickest way to prepare your eggs is to fry them in olive oil. Just break your eggs directly onto a heated pan and cook them until they go white.
