Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Butter
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until the whites and yolks are fully blended and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the salt, black pepper, and butter to the egg mixture. Whisk again to ensure the seasonings and butter are evenly incorporated.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. The water should not be boiling; adjust the heat to maintain small bubbles.
Once the water is gently simmering, slowly pour the whisked egg mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
Keep stirring gently as the egg mixture cooks, moving spoonfuls of the egg around to create soft curds. Be careful not to let the mixture stick to the bottom of the pan.
Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes or until they are barely set and creamy. They should have a delicate, custard-like consistency. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the poached scrambled eggs onto a serving plate or toast. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your light, fluffy poached scrambled eggs!
