Irish Scrambled Eggs Recipe

Irish Scrambled Eggs Recipe
This version of scrambled eggs incorporates rich, creamy flavors with a touch of Irish inspiration, making it a delightful and satisfying breakfast option. Perfectly fluffy and buttery, these eggs pair wonderfully with soda bread or smoked salmon.
Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional sides: Irish soda bread, smoked salmon, or grilled tomatoes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Heat the Pan:
- Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt gently, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
-
Cook the Eggs Slowly:
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Using a silicone spatula, stir continuously, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Control the Texture:
- Cook the eggs slowly over low heat, stirring constantly. This ensures a creamy, custard-like texture. The eggs should be slightly undercooked and glossy when you remove them from the heat, as they will continue to cook slightly in the residual heat.
-
Add Chives:
- Stir in the chopped chives (if using) just before serving for a fresh, herby flavor.
-
Serve:
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates. Serve with warm Irish soda bread, smoked salmon, or grilled tomatoes for a complete Irish-inspired breakfast.
Tips:
- Low Heat Is Key: Cooking the eggs over low heat prevents them from becoming rubbery and ensures a creamy texture.
- Customize the Flavor: Add a sprinkle of grated cheese or a splash of Irish cream liqueur for a unique twist.
- Sustainable Sides: Smoked salmon or bacon adds protein and pairs beautifully with these rich eggs.
Enjoy your Irish-style scrambled eggs as a hearty and luxurious breakfast or brunch! Would you like suggestions for complementary beverages or additional sides?
