Scrambled eggs

This is incredibly simple, but is possibly the item most requested by family and friends who find themselves here for breakfast. To some, this may seem like a strange way to cook eggs, but the results are undeniable.

Eggs are so frugal

A dozen eggs are $.88 at Ultra this week. They are also $.99 with in-ad coupon at Dominick’s and also $.99 at Walgreens. But even when not on sale, eggs are pretty cheap. Apart from the eggs, you just need a couple tablespoons of butter, a dollop of sour cream, and salt. That is it!

Here’s the home made part:

Break all of your eggs into a cold nonstick pan. I like to use one with higher sides because I tend to splash. I am using six eggs for my family of three, but you can make just three or any multiple of three.

Add a tablespoon of butter, cubed, for each three eggs.

Set the pot over high heat and stir constantly, breaking up the yolks, until the butter is melted. Turn off the heat or remove the pan from the heat and stir for 30 seconds.

Return the pan to or turn back on the heat and stir again for 30 seconds.

Continue to alternate between 30 seconds on the heat and 30 seconds off, until the eggs are almost, but not quite, done. Remove from heat.

Add a tablespoon of sour cream for each three eggs and salt, to taste. Mix thoroughly.
