Scrambled Eggs Hotel Style... Very Simple

Recipe #136983 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Sep 11, 2005

When I was a newlywed 15 years ago, I burned eggs every time I made them and the only way to get GOOD scrambled eggs was to go out for them. One day I saw a cooking show and it changed how I made eggs. Today my whole family loves this fluffy, delicious breakfast dish. My own mother who is a great cook extraordinaire loves these and when she just recently learned the secret was shocked at how simple it is. So without further ado, here is the recipe for Hotel Style Eggs

SERVES 3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium mixing bowl crack 6 large eggs into the bowl and then add 6 tablespoons of cold tap water. Beat together, then add to a non stick pan with 2 tablespoons of margarine or whipped butter.
  2. 2
    Cook over medium heat and be vigilant by constantly stirring. When done, sprinkle with your desired amount of salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    * Tip for lesser eggs or more eggs per batches.
  4. 4
    The key is to always add one tablespoon of water per egg and one teaspoon of margarine or whipped butter per egg.

I have made these eggs a couple of times now and forgot to review them. I cut this recipe in 1/2 and it turns out great! I have always been told to use cold water instead of milk in my scrambles. I will continue to make them this way. Thanks for posting this here!

    NEVER add water to eggs! The only reason hotels, restaurants add water is to make the eggs go further, so they don't have to use as many! The only thing you need to scramble eggs is butter in the pan, and eggs--that's it! Try it, you'll like it!

    This is very simple to make and my favorite way of making eggs for breakfast. I had never tried using water before, but I have tried milk but water does great. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
