Chef's Note

Salting raw eggs 10 to 15 minutes before cooking acts as a natural tenderizer by preventing proteins from bonding too tightly.

Ingredients
  • 10 pieces large eggs

  • 3 TBSP unsalted butter

  • 10 pieces whole wheat bread slices

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    Crack 10 large eggs into a medium bowl, then add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.

  • 2

    Whisk the eggs vigorously with a fork or whisk for 1 full minute until the whites and yolks are completely cohesive and slightly frothy.

  • 3

    Let the whisked eggs sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the salt to dissolve and pre-soften the egg proteins.

  • 4

    While the eggs rest, toast 10 slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.

  • 5

    Spread 2 TBSP of the unsalted butter evenly across the warm slices of toasted whole wheat bread, then cut them diagonally into easy-to-hold triangles.

  • 6

    Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 TBSP of unsalted butter and let it melt until foaming, swirling to coat the entire pan.

  • 7

    Pour the whisked eggs into the warm skillet and let them sit undisturbed for 15 seconds until a thin layer begins to set at the bottom.

  • 8

    Using a heatproof silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the outer edges toward the center to form large, soft curds.

  • 9

    Continue folding the eggs gently for 2 to 3 minutes until they are mostly set but still look slightly wet and glossy.

  • 10

    Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Divide the soft scrambled eggs and buttered toast among 5 plates and serve warm.
