Home Made Scramble eggs

Okay, to those who rolled your eyes at the title - I HATE YOU. =X Okay, I'm kidding, but seeing that I'm having some time off, I've decided to do the most "so-not-evette" thing which is -  TO BE DOMESTICATED. So yes, I know its just scramble eggs, I know its like "Seriously? You learning to cook now?" But in my defense, I'm guessing there are other ladies out there who really can't do an egg. :|

So in the spur of the moment, I decided to make some scrambles on toast. Here are the ingredients and equipment:




I'm using two eggs but if you prefer a bigger portion, I suggest three. You can use a non-stick frying pan as well, But seeing that the frying pan is being used by my grandma, I'm using the non-stick saucepan. Anything that's around 8" would do, actually.

Crack the eggs and add in a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. For those who prefer flavourful eggs, be generous with the pepper. You can see that mine has more pepper than salt, but not too much else you'll kill the taste.


Whisk everything together. I added in around 20ml of water to make the eggs fluffy. So after whisking, add water in.

I don't use cooking oil, although some do for their eggs. As I prefer my eggs to be quite creamy, I've used butter instead. No measurements for butter. If you ask me, go for an estimate. You only want to grease the pan with oil, you don't wanna bake a cake, so go low. This is how much butter I used to greased the pan with. I'm using a disposable spoon as you just have to throw the spoon away. You don't need to wash the grease and chunks of butter off the spoon.


Heat the pan on low (Or medium low), as scrambles are very delicate. You don't want to have dry, lumpy eggs like this:


We want the fluffy ones like these:


After greasing the pan, on low heat, pour your egg mixture in like so:


Cook your mixture from the sides to the centre. Meaning when  white curds are forming, keep bringing the mixture towards the centre. I've got a video on how its done, so look at how I'm bringing the mixture into the centre. By doing so, the mixture that's not cooked, will overflow to the sides and thus cooking it. Of course, the one thing we worry is the consistency. I.e. We do not want the lumpy eggs, so you guys must make sure the heat is on low and stir continuously. As long as the egg is cooked quite thoroughly and not lumpy, turn the gas off. 


The end result?



TASTY IF I MAY SAY SO MYSELF. HAHAHA!!! Of course, I'm going to try it out on Cw and if he says yes, you guys know that Evette can cook! Okay, abit exaggerating as its just scrambles. But hey, next up - Japanese curry rice! You guys must give me credit on that. :)

On a side note, Leia's started school already. My girl is all grown up now. Will blog about it soon. I need to catch up on movies + sleep. Tata everyone! Wanna know what I'm watching now? Loving Colin Firth in this:
