The Perfect Scrambled Egg Recipe | Camp Chef

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier due to its unsaturated fats.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites are lower in calories and cholesterol.

Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet on low heat.

Add a generous amount of butter to the skillet and let it melt until there's a small sizzle.

If you get a shell in your eggs, use half of the shell to dip it out.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them in one direction to keep the protein strands together.

Pour the eggs into the skillet once the butter is melted.

Stir the eggs gently while cooking, and if they cook too quickly, remove them from the heat while stirring.

Cook until the eggs are still wet but not overcooked, then remove from heat.

Add cold sour cream to slow down the cooking process, and optionally add cheese or milk.

Season with salt and pepper after cooking to avoid watery eggs.

Add cayenne pepper on top if desired.
