Description
Silky Miso Scrambled Eggs are a creamy and savory twist on classic scrambled eggs, enhanced with the umami-rich flavor of white miso paste. Perfect for a quick and nourishing breakfast, these eggs are cooked slowly over low heat to achieve a soft, custard-like texture and topped with fresh green onions for a hint of freshness.
Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons milk
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
To Finish
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, combine the eggs, white miso paste, and milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture appears smooth and uniform, ensuring the miso paste is fully incorporated.
- Heat the Fat: Place a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the vegetable oil and unsalted butter. Heat gently until the butter is melted and foamy, being careful not to let it brown.
- Start Cooking the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds to allow the edges to begin setting.
- Gently Stir: Using a silicone spatula, carefully stir the eggs by pushing the curds from the edges towards the center. Cook slowly to maintain a soft texture.
- Cook Until Just Set: Continue to cook and stir occasionally, allowing the eggs to form soft, silky curds and reach the just-set stage without overcooking.
- Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference, stirring gently to combine.
- Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture and rich flavor.
Notes
- Cooking on low heat is crucial to achieve the silky texture and prevent browning.
- White miso paste brings a gentle umami flavor; avoid using stronger miso varieties to keep the eggs delicate.
- Use fresh green onions for a bright contrast; scallions work well too.
- Adjust salt carefully as miso paste is already salty.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
