How to Make Extra Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Extra Fluffy Scrambled Eggs on the Arteflame Grill

Introduction

Take your breakfast up a notch with extra fluffy scrambled eggs, grilled to perfection on the Arteflame grill. The solid flat top cooktop gives you full control over heat, allowing you to achieve soft, airy, and creamy scrambled eggs with a gentle, even cook. Using the flat top ensures you’ll never overcook your eggs, keeping them light and tender. Perfect for a morning meal, brunch, or even an afternoon breakfast, these eggs are a delicious way to start your day.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Start by lighting your Arteflame grill. Place three paper towels soaked in vegetable oil in the center of the grill and stack firewood over them. Light it and wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up.
2. The flat top of the grill offers even heat distribution. Use the outer edge of the cooktop for the eggs, as this area is less hot and perfect for slow cooking.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add water.  For creamy eggs add milk (or half-and-half).
2. Whisk vigorously until your arm falls of or for about 2 minutes to incorporate air. The eggs should appear pale and frothy, which is key to making them fluffy.
3. Optional: Try separating the egg whites from the yolks and whip the egg whites separately until fluffed.  Then add the yolks back in.

Step 3: Melt the Butter on the Grill

1. Once the grill is hot, place butter on the cooler outer edge of the flat top cooktop. Let the butter melt slowly, spreading it to coat the surface where you’ll cook the eggs.

Step 4: Cook the Eggs Low and Slow

1. Pour the whisked eggs onto the buttered area of the grill’s flat cooktop. Allow them to sit undisturbed for a few seconds so they can begin to set.
2. Use a silicone spatula to gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Continue to cook slowly, stirring occasionally, so the eggs don’t dry out or overcook.
3. As the eggs begin to firm up, fold them gently rather than stirring constantly. This creates larger, fluffier curds.

Step 5: Remove from Heat Early

1. Once the eggs are just slightly undercooked (they will still look slightly wet and soft), remove them from the grill. The residual heat will finish cooking them, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.

Step 6: Season and Serve

1. Season the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Optionally, garnish with fresh chives or parsley for added freshness and flavor.

Pro Tips:

• Whisking: Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which is crucial for creating fluffy scrambled eggs.
• Butter: Don’t skimp on the butter; it adds richness and helps the eggs cook evenly on the grill.
• Low Heat: Using the cooler part of the grill’s flat top ensures slow, even cooking, giving you soft, creamy eggs.

Variations

1. Cheesy Scrambled Eggs – Add shredded cheese like cheddar, gouda, or feta during the last minute of cooking.
2. Herb Scrambled Eggs – Stir in fresh herbs like basil, tarragon, or dill for a flavorful twist.
3. Bacon & Eggs – Grill some bacon on the center of the Arteflame, then fold crispy bacon pieces into the scrambled eggs.
4. Smoked Salmon Scramble – Add small pieces of smoked salmon toward the end of cooking for a luxurious breakfast.
5. Veggie Scramble – Sauté spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers on the grill’s flat top before adding the eggs for a veggie-packed scramble.

Best Pairings

• Serve with grilled toast or grilled tomatoes right off the Arteflame.
• Pair with freshly squeezed juice or a hot cup of coffee for the perfect morning meal.
