Perfectly done scrambled eggs! Not too wet, not too dry. Buttery flavor down to the last bite. I ate these every single day on my FOODFIT Healthy Body Reset program, and now every single morning no matter what. They’re very quick and easy to make and come out perfectly every time. I make them in the morning while my coffee brews and chase them down with a small sized banana. 

I eat 4 cage free eggs, which is roughly 28 grams of protein. Protein is critical for your body, your cells need it to perform all their important functions.

Each egg is roughly 7 grams of protein.

Protein helps you retain and gain muscle. 

A lot of people shoot for 1 - 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. I like those numbers and have tested it out personally.

If you lift weights consistently, you will want to work up to the higher end of the range. If not, then you’ll probably feel very comfortable at the lower range.

I recommend you start working your way towards that goal and begin noting how different you feel. 

You should see your cravings reduce, even your snacking and overall hunger. 

Also, you will begin retaining your existing muscle muss. This is vitally important as we get older. 

What are Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are typically a breakfast meal, but can be enjoyed any time of the day. 

I love breakfast for dinner!

The eggs are whisked, or beaten together in a bowl then fried in oil or butter over medium heat. 

A lot of people will add milk to the eggs, I use water to thin out the mixture. I like the texture and fluffiness without the lactose or added calories. 

Not everyone likes or eats dairy products, like milk.

How to Make Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

Eggs - I use brown cage free eggs, I want my chickens to be happy and roaming in their natural environment. I also want the chickens to be fed good food. Happy chickens make healthy eggs. 

Butter - I use Kerrygold Irish butter because I love the taste. You could use a lactose free butter, or even a butter that has been cultured. All great choices. 

Water - I use water from the tap. That sounds funny as I type it. Use filtered water if possible. You could even use milk. I have not tried alternative milks, so I don’t know how they would turn out, but I suspect they would be fine. 

Directions

Begin by preheating a small frying pan over medium heat. I use one by All Clad, because it is fool proof. It’s non-stick and performs very well. 

In a small mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk them well together. 

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Add ¼ water or milk to the whisked eggs and blend well together. 

Once the butter has melted, pick up the pan and tilt it in all directions until the butter is evenly coats the entire base and lower sides of the frying pan.

Add the egg mixture. 

Let the eggs begin to set up, 1-3 minutes. Then, with a spatula begin scraping the bottoms and sides of the pan to scramble the eggs into small egg curds. 

Continue scrambling the eggs until they have fully come together and are no longer runny, or wet looking. They will appear perfectly, yellow, fluffy, and moist. 

This entire process should take around 5 minutes. Keep your eye on the eggs so they do not brown. 

Remove them from the heat and enjoy.

Tips for Making the Best Scrambled Eggs

Don’t skip using enough fat, like butter or oil. Eggs need fat to set up nicely.

Do not walk away from the stove, keep your eyes on the eggs. They cook quickly.

Always add water or milk to get a fluffy delicious egg curd.

How to Store Scrambled Eggs

You can store cooked and fully cooled scrambled eggs in the refrigerator for 3 days in an airtight container. 

I wouldn’t store scrambled eggs personally, but they will hold up for a few days. 

Reheating Instructions

You can microwave them starting at 20 seconds in a microwave safe dish, but the microwave gives food a rubbery like feel. 

You also could put them in a freezer bag and lay them in hot water until the water warms the eggs in the bag. This is similar to a sous vide method. This takes around 7 minutes. 

I can cook fresh eggs in around 5 mins, so at that point I’d make fresh eggs. 

What to Serve with Scrambled Eggs

Any breakfast food you like to eat, including bacon, sausage, toast, avocado toast, fruit, or even pastries. 

I eat mine with a small banana and collagen coffee, every single day of the week.
