Today you will learn how to make scrambled eggs just like the ones you get at a hotel—they are incredibly easy to make and taste absolutely amazing. Let’s get to the recipe!
Ingredients for Hotel-Style Scrambled Eggs:
- 3 large eggs;
- Salt and black pepper to taste;
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter;
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
How to Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:
- First, choose a heavy-bottomed saucepan or skillet;
- Crack the eggs directly into the pan;
- Add the butter immediately, while the eggs are still cold. This is the secret to a glossy finish and a rich, velvety flavor;
- Do not beat the eggs or add seasoning yet, as this can affect the texture;
- Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly using a heat-resistant spatula or a wooden spoon;
- Here is the most important step: as soon as the eggs start to set, remove the pan from the heat and place it on a cool surface;
- Keep stirring. After about 30 seconds, place the pan back on the heat. Repeat this process about 3 times to ensure the eggs stay soft and don’t overcook;
- The last time you take the pan off the heat, stir in the heavy cream;
- Lower the heat to low;
- Mix for a few more seconds until incorporated;
- Season to taste and remove from the heat;
- Enjoy!
Pro Tip:
You can garnish your scrambled eggs with fresh chopped chives or some shredded cheese.
