    Scrambled Egg Recipe
    How do you make scrambled eggs? Let’s see how to prepare this dish together, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Our version enriches the basic recipe by using Grana Padano PDO, an ingredient that adds flavour and creaminess.

     

    Ingredients

    4 fresh eggs
    20g butter (or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil)
    50ml whole milk or fresh cream (optional, for a creamier consistency)
    30g grated Grana Padano PDO
    Salt q.b. (as needed)
    Black pepper q.b. (as needed) (optional)

    Method

    STEP 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them gently with a fork or a whisk. You don’t need to create a completely smooth mixture; just combine the yolks and whites.

    STEP 2

    Heat a non-stick frying pan over a low heat and add the butter, letting it melt slowly. If you prefer, you can use a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

    STEP 3

    Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir gently with a silicone spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent the eggs from sticking. Halfway through cooking, add the grated Grana Padano PDO and continue stirring until the eggs reach your desired consistency: creamy and soft or drier, depending on your preference.

    STEP 4

    Add a pinch of salt only at the end of cooking to prevent the eggs from losing moisture. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired. Your Grana Padano PDO scrambled eggs are ready to be served hot, perhaps accompanied by a slice of toast.

    Scrambled Egg Variations

    Scrambled eggs lend themselves to numerous variations and alternative recipes. Here are some ideas:

    With vegetables: Incorporate spinach, courgettes, or diced cherry tomatoes during cooking.
    Spiced: Try with aromatic herbs like parsley, chives, or fresh thyme.
    With truffle: Season with a grating of black truffle or a drizzle of truffle oil.
    With salmon or ham: Add smoked salmon or cooked ham for a richer, more indulgent flavour.
