What the BEST recipe for scrambled eggs?

I'm on a diet - so nothing too crazy, but I need a good tasty scrambled egg recipe - just making them plain is not very yummy :(What the BEST recipe for scrambled eggs?
Hmm - well often ';Best recipe'; and ';diet'; do not go together! But here are some things to try.





1) Scramble your eggs with a few teaspoons of water - normally I would say milk or creme, but you mention ';diet,'; :)





2) Personally I add ground pepper to the mixture before cooking - but wait to add salt until they are done. I find I use less salt that way if it is on top.





3) Some things to add to it for seasoning would be any of the Mrs. Dash seasonings. Personally I like to add a teaspoon of dried dill (for 2 eggs)





4) I normally do not use teflon, but I do use it for making eggs. Even so, it helps to put a little something in the pan to keep them from sticking. For this - even if you are on a diet, I would use a half teaspoon of real butter. The flavor you get it will be worth the extra calories.





5) When the eggs are almost done, still a little 'wet' looking, I take the pan off the heat and let it finish cooking with the heat left in the pan. This seems to make them creamier.





Good luck!What the BEST recipe for scrambled eggs?
Scrambled Eggs Done Right --








INGREDIENTS


2 eggs


1 teaspoon mayonnaise or salad dressing


1 teaspoon water (optional)


1 teaspoon margarine or butter


salt and pepper to taste (optional)











DIRECTIONS


In a cup or small bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise and water using a fork. Melt margarine in a skillet over low heat. Pour in the eggs, and stir constantly as they cook. Remove the eggs to a plate when they are set, but still moist. Do not over cook. Never add salt or pepper until eggs are on plate, but these are also good without.

Baked Omelet Squares --











INGREDIENTS


1/4 cup butter


1 small onion, chopped


1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese


1 (12 ounce) can sliced mushrooms


1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives


chopped cooked ham (optional)


sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)


12 eggs, scrambled


1/2 cup milk


1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste











DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.


Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until tender.





Spread Cheddar cheese in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.





Layer with mushrooms, olives, sauteed onion, ham, and jalapeno peppers. In a bowl, scramble eggs together with milk, and season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over ingredients, but do not stir.





Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer runny in the center and slightly brown on top. Allow to cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

Feta Eggs --











INGREDIENTS


1 tablespoon butter


1/4 cup chopped onion


4 eggs, beaten


1/4 cup chopped tomatoes


2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese


salt and pepper to taste








DIRECTIONS


Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. Pour in eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally to scramble. When eggs appear almost done, stir in chopped tomatoes and feta cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until cheese is melted.
If you are on a diet, add tofu to the scrambled eggs. One fifth of average tofu tub adds about 70 calories you sort of mash the tofu and eggs together when you fry it. Fry in Pam or another no stick product. Cut up some onion, tomato, 1/8 avocado adds about 40 calories and a ton of flavor. Most hot sauces have very few calories. Mushrooms, bell pepper slices, Bragg's. Add what you want, read the labels or look up the ingredient. You could add lunch meat, but the tofu adds substance and will last you for a while. I only use one egg for this, 80 calories each, they add up fast.
If on a diet, you may wish to omit some of the yolks, but up to you..





3 eggs (or 2 egg whites + 1 yolk)


A splash of milk (or can use water)


A tablespoon of salsa


Mix well with a fork





Cook in a non-stick pan until done..





Another variation is to spread some low-fat Cheese Wiz directly on your plate, and then put the hot cooked eggs on top.
You can add almost any seasoning to scramble eggs and they will taste better than plain. If you like spicy food then add some hot sauce and a little bit of salt and lemon. Spicy, salty, and a bit sour. ^_~ Sounds good to you? Add enough according to your taste and mix them up with the eggs before putting the eggs to the pan.
Hearty Scrambled Eggs


serves 1





2 eggs


1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon diced fully cooked ham


3 tablespoons diced Cheddar cheese


2 tablespoons chopped fresh mushrooms


1 tablespoon chopped onion


1-1/2 teaspoons butter or margarine





Melt butter in pan


saute ham,onions and mushrooms


add eggs and cheese


stir and cook until eggs are set


and cheese is melted
I fry a bit of thinly sliced ham until crisp, then saute some red or green pepper. Set both aside.


Cook eggs with sliced green onion, add ham and red pepper just before done. Turn off heat, add shredded cheese, put the lid on until melted.
Whip up your eggs with a little milk, add salt, pepper, if you want and put them in a plastic bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes, open and stir and put back for another 2 mins, then stir again and serve.


Perfect
You need organic freerange eggs, Lescure butter, salt and black pepper. Do not add milk to the beaten eggs. Do add a few mushrooms if you like them.
use seasonings =)


cut up little tomatos.
add a dash of garlic salt the the eggs before you scramble them. SOO good!
