I used to be a pretty strict scrambled eggs guy. It’s all I ever ordered, and it’s all I ever made myself.
Then about 8 months ago, after I’d been making eggs for myself several mornings a week instead of just on the occasional weekend, I got bored with scrambled eggs — which I’d been doing wrong all along anyway, but I’ll get to that in a moment.
On a lark, I tried frying a couple of eggs — in butter, natch — and discovered A) that I loved them, and B) that I had a knack for it. So that’s what I’ve been doing, lo these many months since. Yum.
But a few months ago nickdouglas, I think, posted a video on how to make perfect scrambled eggs. I tried it, and sure enough, they were awesome. I’ve mostly kept with fried eggs because they’re still relatively novel to me and easier to make. This morning, though, I made perfect scrambled eggs again, and they were delicious.
*I believe one of the earlier posts here explains that “scrambled eggs” were originally called “buttered eggs.” I think the original name had more to do with the way the eggs come to resemble the curds that form when making homemade butter than with the actual use of butter in the process, but either way I’m beginning to prefer the term “buttered eggs” because, duh.
