Steam wand = yummy scrambled eggs
16 Nov
Who would have ever guessed that you could make anything else with the milk frother from your espresso machine?
I wish I could take credit for this marvelous idea but I can’t. I came across a post on Amateur Gourmet last week and decided to give it a try. Apparently, restaurants like Gottino make their eggs this way!
Now, if you’ve ever worked with a steam wand before, it gets very steamy (duh). I had some trouble taking pictures, as I ended up with a bunch of fogged up photos. You will need: two eggs, dash of salt and pepper, 1/2 a tablespoon of butter, a spoon, and a mug to steam your eggs in.
I threw cracked two eggs into a mug with salt and butter, then off it went into the steamer. Be sure to use a cup that is about the length of your steam wand. (Otherwise, the wand won’t reach, and your eggs won’t get cooked). I used a long cup in the beginning, and had to quickly switch over to another mug. I grabbed the nearest mug, which happens to say “let it snow.” Yes, it’s Christmas all year around at my place. Don’t judge.
It took about 5 minutes of constant steaming and stirring around. I quickly sauteed some shallots and leftover bell peppers (hope you didn’t need that, sister) to go with a piece of whole wheat toast.
The end result? The fluffiest scrambled eggs, with just the right amount of pillowy goodness! Awesome!
