Carm's Favorite Scrambled Eggs

Carm'sLilCook's Note:

I love it when he says, "Your eggs are always so good!" That's cause I love ya, baby! (Oh...and the SECRET INGREDIENT helps too.)

• Total Time: 7 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 3 whole eggs
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon butter
• Pam cooking spray
• 1/4 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 2 -3 slices white 2% low-fat American cheese
• 1 dash salt
• 1 dash pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

1. Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
2. Sprinkle in baking powder and keep beating those eggs so the powder doesn't clump!
3. (Sometimes I add a tiny bit more baking powder!).
4. Spray a large skillet with Pam.
5. Heat the skillet and melt the butter on it so the eggs have a nice buttery flavor.
6. When the skillet is hot slowly pour the egg mixture onto it.
7. I "bother" my scrambled eggs constantly. I am always stirring and flipping them because I *hate* that crunchy shiny browned part that I've seen before on the edges of scrambled eggs.
8. When the eggs look like they're still too runny to be done but they're almost there -- add in the cheese.
9. Make SURE the cheese slices are ripped into pieces before adding them.
10. Flip and mix those eggs like crazy to make sure every inch of them is nice and cheesy.
11. ***Once you add that cheese you have to really scramble the eggs with the spatula. Don't let the cheese burn or brown!
12. Serve with ketchup -- cause that's how Carm likes them.

I wouldn't have believed something as simple as your "secret ingrediant" could make such a differance but it sure does. This was given a two thumbs up by my very picky DGSs and that makes it 5 star all the way in my book. Thanks Carm for sharing this very special recipe.

Just the dish to make after a trip to the dentist! I used 2 whole eggs plus the whites (slightly less baking powder) to scale it down for a single serving. I do think the baking powder gives it a fuller texture (like an omelet). Thanks Carm'sLilCook, for posting. Roxygirl
