Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup morel mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by carefully cleaning morel mushrooms under cool running water, gently patting them dry with paper towels. Chop mushrooms into small, uniform pieces.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs and add 1/4 cup milk. Whisk thoroughly until eggs are completely blended and slightly frothy, creating a smooth mixture.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring even coating of the pan's surface.
- Add chopped morel mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they release their moisture and become slightly golden, releasing their rich, earthy aroma.
- Pour whisked egg mixture into the skillet with mushrooms, using a silicone spatula to gently fold and scramble eggs, preventing them from sticking or overcooking.
- When eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet, sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese evenly across the surface, allowing it to melt gradually.
- Continue gently folding eggs until cheese is fully melted and eggs reach desired creamy consistency, typically 1-2 minutes.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, giving a final gentle fold to distribute seasonings.
- Remove from heat and immediately transfer to serving plates, garnishing with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Morels: For the best flavor, select fresh morel mushrooms that are firm and free of blemishes. Their unique taste will elevate your scrambled eggs to another level.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Cooking the eggs on medium-low heat allows for a creamy texture. Patience is key to achieving the perfect scramble without overcooking.
- Whisk Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly until frothy. This introduces air into the mixture, resulting in fluffier eggs.
- Experiment with Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to mix it up with your favorite cheeses like feta, gouda, or even a spicy pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Garnish for Flair: Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley as a garnish before serving. Not only do they add color, but they also enhance the dish's flavor profile.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh off the stove. Serve them right away for the creamiest texture and to fully enjoy the melted cheese.
