/ Our magazine / Scrambled eggs: many variations of a quick yet tasty dish
Scrambled eggs are a healthy and genuine dish that takes little time to prepare. For a champion's breakfast, a lunch, and a lion's dinner!
This is a very common and economical dish based mainly on eggs, typically chicken eggs, that allows everyone to handle cooking, even if they have never taken a pot in hand.
In fact, it simply involves mixing together the egg white and egg yolk and frying in hot oil, breaking (scrambling) the protein coagulation that has formed.
The preparation of scrambled eggs includes numerous variations thanks to the addition of further ingredients such as broth, cream, milk, butter, water, or a drizzle of oil to obtain a fluffier mixture. Salt, pepper, and other flavors are usually added to adjust the taste.
Scrambled eggs can be made in many recipes and variations. Some eat them "bare" because along with a low-calorie black coffee, they can last until lunch; others prefer exclusively sweet versions, spreading in spoonfuls of hazelnut chocolate or fruit jam.
However, most hotel guests who wake up early to head to the breakfast room usually prefer to enjoy them salty with melted cheese, cold cuts, sliced tomatoes, or some seasonal fried vegetables, mushrooms, and potatoes.
Regardless of how you taste them, the fact is that scrambled eggs are a substantial and very flavorful dish.
Scrambled eggs are quick and nutritious, an ideal dish for those who want to stay in shape and start, especially in the morning, with a load of energy. Preparing them is really easy; you just need to follow some simple tips.
First of all, never crack the eggs directly into the pan but always in a bowl or on a plate. The pan into which the beaten eggs will be poured must be well heated and buttered.
Finally, the secret to perfect scrambled eggs is to not stir them during cooking but rather continuously shake the pan to avoid them sticking too much, perhaps aided by a wooden spoon.
On average, you calculate 2 eggs per person: they should be cracked and lightly beaten with salt, pepper, milk or cream. Then, they need to set in a well-heated pan with oil or butter (if you want excellent scrambled eggs, choose the latter), moving them continuously and adding, for example, some chives or parsley to give the dish a bit of flair. Once ready, you can accompany them with good crispy bacon and toasted bread or with a side of vegetables and potatoes.
A good cup of Italian coffee will provide the final boost, and we will all be ready to go to work or school and for those on vacation at the beach, directly to the seaside!
Scrambled eggs in English-speaking countries are mostly consumed for breakfast. They are called scrambled eggs, sweet or savory.
They are usually accompanied by toasts, pancakes, ham, or enticing sausages, along with the inevitable hash browns, potatoes that, in perfect American style, are sautéed in a pan after being chopped, diced, julienned, or grated.
This dish has become so popular worldwide that if you have a hotel, even an Italian one, you cannot omit it from the so-called "international breakfast" or brunch.
A well-crafted brunch or a respectable English breakfast will never have the courage to present itself without scrambled eggs. Crispy bacon and toasted bread are two other ingredients that it’s better to remember to offer if you don’t want to see a series of negative reviews from American or English families in a short time.
If, on the other hand, you remember to insist on a perfect New York or London mise en place, you certainly won’t forget to include some bowls for some of the myriad sauces that foreigners love, from ketchup to sweet-and-sour Worcestershire sauce, not to mention a spicy container of chili.
In this case, the 5 stars are guaranteed, and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If you are part of that group of health enthusiasts who wonder whether morning scrambled eggs cause weight gain, well, here’s the answer.
100 g of scrambled eggs provide about 149 calories (4% carbohydrates, 29.3% protein, 66.7% fat). Of course, you can end up having an excess of cholesterol if you eat them every day and along with them, you consume an excessive amount of bacon, cured meats, sweet creams to your heart's content, and excessively sugary fruit juices, and maybe you don’t even find 10 minutes to take a nice walk!
Okay, then yes, in this case, cholesterol might give you a warning and tell you that perhaps you’re overdoing it. On the other hand, a dish of scrambled eggs every once in a while, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, if prepared healthily or with what we can call "indulgent" seasonings, will provide our body with a formidable amount of noble proteins and much vitality.
This is a dish that children, even the pickiest ones, really like. If you also add some cooked ham and cheese, you will win the little ones’ trust because they will see in you a mature form of culinary attraction.
You just need to have a few eggs, some cheese, and some leftover cooked ham at home, and you're set. It will be served as a homemade product that, although not served on a silver platter like haute cuisine usually flaunts, will be tasted and enjoyed quickly by the whole family.
The kids will soon ask for seconds, so you can insert another type of cheese because you know you can hit the mark safely.
Ingredients for scrambled eggs with cooked ham and cheese
Cut the cheese into slices, beat the eggs, and season them with a bit of salt and a bit of black pepper. Grease a small pan with melted butter, add the sliced cheese and ham, and then the beaten eggs.
Keep the flame on low-medium heat, mixing the eggs with the cheese and ham. As soon as the eggs are cooked and the cheese has melted together with the meat, which takes about 5 minutes, the scrambled eggs will be ready to serve. Enjoy!
