Got the idea from Chef Michael Symon. French Soft Scrambled Eggs
Here's the video:
Summary: Add butter, low heat, off heat, low heat.
I used my rubber spatula to move the eggs like in the video.
The taste and the texture are divine.

(3,853 posts)After decades of failing to perfect scrambled eggs on the stove top I finally decided to try using one of the recipes for the microwave. The results were perfect the first time I tried it. I feel silly for not trying the microwave sooner but I'd convinced myself it couldn't possibly give me the type of scrambled eggs I wanted; light and fluffy. The recipes give you a choice of using water or milk. I've found milk works much better than using water.

I have to say that was one of the few culinary disappointments. He had a fairly adventurous palate, otherwise. He might have starved to death had he been all meat and potatoes.

(113,130 posts)My mother hated cooking and it showed. I just never learned to like them. I'm in the English muffin or oatmeal for breakfast group.
Salsa is good. I did get the ex off kid stuff ketchup and onto salsa.

(54,270 posts)I used a French method.
Steel or glass bowl on top of a pot of a couple inches of simmering water.
Butter in the bowl, melt and add completely combine d yolks and whites. NO snotty parts showing. Uniform color and texture. I use a little three bladed chopper powered by a string pully thing that I call 'The Pulley-Pulley'.
They cook VERY slowly. Stir and stir and stir.
When done, they almost like creamed eggs.
Maybe they ARE creamed eggs.
