Sunny's Perfect Scrambled Cheesy Eggs
RECIPE COURTESY OF SUNNY ANDERSON
Level: Easy
Total: 17 min
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 12 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
12 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Directions

In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

Cook’s Note
While scrambling, if a thin film of egg begins to set on the edges of the pan while you are whisking away, the heat is too high and you are whisking a bit too fast. Be gentle and take your time. If this happens, very quickly before it browns, incorporate those dry edges back into the eggs with a twist of the whisk and they'll disappear.

What’s with the open flame so close to her hand?? 😳

[timothytorres]

The video is good and all but they really gotta shorten the video that much? 1:42 secs???

[RexBanner_]

And she's got the steak on the side 😋 All that's missing is the Welch grape 😍😍

[jhnaarroyo]

Not me screaming at the screen for her to turn off the heat!

Serious question: What purpose does the water serve? Is there some reason why you wouldn't use a splash of milk, and get a creamier flavor -- while adding moisture (or whatever the water is doing)?

[ryangeraghty]

Personally I don't think the temperature matters as much as how done your eggs are. Once I learned (or just thought about) the fact that, like meat, eggs continue to cook once you take them off, it made a world of difference. Remove your eggs when they're still a bit runny, and let them sit for 2 minutes, and you'll have great creamy eggs. Also, a handful of cheddar and some minced chives makes the best eggs, and in under 5 minutes.

She makes hers exactly how I make mine! I'm glad I know I'm doing it "right".

[echagolla]

[Chris-rzo]

I wish I was Rich I would have me some eggs with cheese every day for rest of my life for breakfast

[tigerzero]

0:11 LOL! The funniest part of the video. That was way more than a tablespoon of water. In the end. It looks tasty. I've been trying to get that end result for years. As I cook. My mind sees what looks like under cooked egg. It thinks it needs to cook longer. Even at a 4 setting on an electric stove it changes so fast from very wet to very dry.

[stevelogan]

Very nice recipe young lady, i like my eggs scrambled wet, sunny( your name, lol) side up, poached, boiled etc...btw, if you want something different, try my fave cheese, swiss gruyere, delicious.

[j.d.pistol]

How stupid do they think thier audience is? Do we really need a recipe for scrambled eggs? A chimpanzee could do this.

[stanervin]

Ok. A 1:42 video preceded by a 4:31 ad for Patriot long term storage foods? I hereby declare YouTube insane!

[True-trini]

I like a video that cuts to the cheese...I mean chase.

[WillSmith-urok]

She is the finest woman that can cook its no way she aint married
