Scrambled eggs
(6 servings)
6 large eggs
6 teaspoons of low-fat milk(1 teaspoon for each egg)
3 dashes of salt (1 dash for every two eggs)
1 Tablespoon butter for frying Heat a large non-stick frying
pan to a setting just above medium. A 12-inch pan works well
for 6 eggs.
Do not add butter yet. We just want get the pan ready.
In large metal or glass mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the
milk and salt. Beat vigorously for 2 minutes.
Alternatively, you can place the eggs, milk and salt in a
blender and blend for 20 to 25 seconds. Allow the mixture to
set for a couple minutes to let the foam settle.
Melt the butter in the frying pan. As the very last of the
butter is liquefying, add the egg mixture.
Do not stir immediately. Wait until the first hint of
setting begins. Start the Martha Stewart scrambling
technique ("Using a spatula or a flat wooden spoon, push
eggs toward center while tilting skillet to distribute runny
parts.")
Continue this motion as the eggs continue to set. Break
apart large pieces as they form with your spoon or spatula.
You will come to a point where the push-to-center technique
is no longer cooking runny parts of the egg. Flip over all
the eggs. Allow the eggs to cook 15 to 25 seconds longer.
Transfer eggs to serving plates. Add salt and pepper to
taste.
A note about milk and water: Soy milk works effectively in
the recipe. Whole milk lends an overly milky taste to the
eggs. No-fat milk and water can both be used in place of the
low-fat milk but the creamy texture of the finished product
is reduced.
