Easy Garlic Scrambled Eggs

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

• Ingredients:

  • 8 medium-sized eggs
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp chili flakes

• Action:

  • Crack 8 eggs into a mixing bowl.
  • Add 1 tsp chopped garlic, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp chili flakes into the eggs.
  • Whisk all the ingredients together using a fork or a whisk until the eggs are fully mixed and frothy. This will help the eggs scramble easily and evenly.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

• Ingredients:

  • 50g butter (for scrambling eggs)

• Action:

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
  • Add 50g of butter to the pan and let it melt completely.
  • Once the butter is melted, pour the prepared egg mixture into the pan.
  • Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir the eggs as they cook.
  • Scramble the eggs, moving them around in the pan until they are fully cooked through and no longer runny, but still moist and soft.
  • Remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Sauce

• Ingredients:

  • 50g butter (for the sauce)
  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

• Action:

  • Melt 50g butter in the same pan over medium heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add 1 tbsp chopped garlic to the pan.
  • Sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fragrant and golden brown, but be careful not to burn it.
  • Add ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp chili flakes to the garlic, stirring to combine.
  • Sprinkle in 1 tbsp cornflour and stir well to create a smooth paste with the butter and seasonings. Let this cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

• Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)

• Action:

  • Gradually pour 1 cup of milk into the pan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Continue cooking on medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes). The milk will combine with the butter and cornflour to form a creamy sauce.
  • Add 1 tsp Italian seasoning if desired for extra flavor.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  • Chop fresh coriander leaves and sprinkle a few into the sauce to add freshness and color.

Step 5: Combine Scrambled Eggs with Sauce

• Action:
  • Once the sauce has thickened, add the scrambled eggs back into the pan with the garlic sauce.
  • Gently stir the scrambled eggs into the creamy sauce until everything is well combined. The eggs should soak up the creamy sauce, making them rich and flavorful.
  • Let the eggs sit in the sauce for about 1-2 minutes to warm up and absorb more flavor.

Step 6: Serve the Garlic Scrambled Eggs

• Action:
  • Serve the creamy garlic scrambled eggs hot, directly from the pan to a serving plate.
  • Garnish with a few fresh coriander leaves on top for added color and flavor.
  • Optionally, you can add some extra chili flakes or grated cheese on top for an added kick.

Tips:

• For fluffier scrambled eggs, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before cooking.
• You can also add a pinch of turmeric to the scrambled eggs to give them a lovely golden color.
• If you prefer a richer sauce, add more butter or a little cream to the sauce.
