How to Make Silky Buttered Scrambled Eggs

1. Prepare Starch Mixture

Whisk together 2 teaspoons of potato starch with 1.5 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl until smooth and free of lumps. Add 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter cubes.

2. Add Eggs and Salt

Crack the 4 eggs into the bowl and add a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk until the mixture is frothy and homogenous, breaking up any butter cubes.

3. Heat Skillet

Place a serving plate near your stovetop. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of water. Swirl until mostly evaporated.

4. Melt Butter

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Swirl the pan vigorously for about 10 seconds until the butter is mostly melted and foamy.

5. Cook Eggs

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a spatula, cook by continuously pushing and folding the eggs. For finer curds, stir more vigorously; for larger curds, stir leisurely. Cook for 1-2 minutes until just set but still soft.

6. Serve

Transfer the scrambled eggs immediately to the prepared serving plate. Serve hot.

Variations

Luxury Variations

Elevate your scrambled eggs by adding a spoonful of crème fraîche and a sprinkle of caviar on top for a truly opulent breakfast. Truffle oil or finely grated truffle can be mixed in just before serving for a decadent treat.

Cheese Variations

Fold in grated cheese such as cheddar, Gruyère, or feta as the eggs are beginning to set. For a tangy twist, incorporate a spoonful of cream cheese or goat cheese for creamy decadence.

Truffle Touch

If you're feeling indulgent, a few drops of truffle oil or a shaving of fresh truffle can elevate your scrambled eggs into a gourmet experience.

Cheese Please

Just before the eggs are set, fold in a small amount of grated cheese such as sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or a softer cheese like goat cheese or feta. This will add a creamy texture and a rich flavor profile.
