How Can I Serve Scrambled Eggs?
We are huge fans of good scrambled eggs for both breakfast or dinner! For breakfast, serve them with a side of toast and fresh fruit, such as orange or grapefruit slices. Yum! For dinner, make easy egg sandwiches by spooning the scrambled eggs on pieces of toast. Top with cheese slices and another slice of toast on each; cut the sandwiches in half. (If you like, you can spread the toast with a little mayo and mustard first.)

Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/3 cup water, milk or half-and-half
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Instructions
-
Step1In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, water, salt and pepper with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
-
Step2In a 10-inch skillet, heat the butter over medium heat just until it begins to sizzle and look hot.
-
Step3Pour egg mixture into skillet. The egg mixture will become firm at the bottom and side very quickly. When this happens, gently lift the cooked portions around the edge with a turner so that the thin, uncooked portion can flow to the bottom. Avoid constant stirring because the eggs will become dry and rubbery rather than light and fluffy.
-
Step4Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist and creamy. Serve immediately.
