Next, let's turn our attention to scrambled eggs, a breakfast classic that, when done right, can be a masterpiece. The secret to perfect scrambled eggs is stopping them from overcooking, which makes mastering heat management crucial.
When preparing scrambled eggs, avoid the common mistake of whisking them before cooking. This can lead to a grainy texture. Instead, crack whole eggs directly into the pan. Like with fried eggs, starting with butter is essential—two knobs should suffice.
Using a spatula, begin stirring the eggs gently after they've been placed on the heat. This is where breaking the eggs down without whisking comes into play. It’s critical to clean the sides of the pan to ensure all the eggs are cooked evenly.
