Level: Easy
Total: 10 min
Active: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

  1. 2 large eggs
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small bowl and whisk with a fork until frothy. Set aside.
  2. Add about 2 inches of water to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer (about 190 degrees F) over medium heat. Small tiny bubbles should come up to the surface, but not large bursting ones. 
  3. Stir the water vigorously with a small whisk several times in a circular motion so it creates a whirlpool. Immediately pour in the eggs. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat and let stand until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes. 
  4. Lift the eggs out with a fine-mesh sieve and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to a serving plate and season with salt and pepper.

Sounds good but seems like a lot of work for scrambled eggs. I just make mine in the microwave. Maybe when I’m retired and have the time, lol.

Best scrambled eggs EVER

That it an easy quick way to prepare scrambled eggs. I used the eggs on my version of McDonald’s egg McMuffin. Mine of course was way better.
