Perfectly Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs are a breakfast classic, but achieving the perfect balance of creaminess and fluffiness can be tricky. Follow this simple recipe to make delicious scrambled eggs on the Arteflame grill, ensuring an even cook and a delightful texture every time.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Fire Up the Grill
Start by firing up your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Ensure the flat cooktop is clean and lightly buttered to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk or heavy cream. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra smooth texture, pour the batter through a strainer before using it. This will removes all lumps, etc. and result in a silky smooth texture.
Step 3: Melt the Butter
Place the butter on the flat griddle cooktop and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture onto the buttered cooktop. Let it sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow outwards. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Step 5: Remove from Heat
Once the eggs are just about done, remove them from the heat while they are still slightly undercooked. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to perfection.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve immediately.
Tips
- Low and Slow: Cooking the eggs over medium-low heat ensures a creamy texture without overcooking.
- Butter for Richness: Butter adds a rich flavor and helps achieve a creamy texture.
- Don't Overcook: Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly runny to prevent them from becoming dry.
Conclusion
Perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs are a delightful addition to any breakfast. Cooking them on the Arteflame grill ensures an even cook, resulting in a creamy and delicious texture that is sure to impress.
