EGGS!!!!!!



Okay what is the deal? Why can't I make scrambled eggs? Or any eggs for that matter? Really I only care about the scrambled kind. Above is the finished product and my kids trying to NOT eat them. Adam is the egg maker in our house. He was late last night for some meeting or something. So I decided to make breakfast for dinner. I made YUMMY oatmeal waffles which Grey and I love-he seriously ate a whole one and they are hearty. But Lucy doesn't like them and wanted eggs. It had been about two years since my last attempts had failed and I really thought I can do this! Its hard to tell from the pic above cause its all blurry/shinny (used my phone so don't ask why) but they really looked okay at first, but then they started looking weird. Best word I can think of. So I am begging for all y'all's help. My mom and Adam have both tried to help me but failure is the only word to describe all of my scrambled attempts. Please, please send any and all tips my way.

I don't know, they look fine to me! I just crack, season, stir real fast, dump in the pan, and start scraping the bottom till they are no longer liquid...

Okay, first.. it's funny because we have the same thing at our house: Bennett likes waffles, Owen likes eggs! So I always end up doing both. And I want your recipe for oatmeal waffles! YUM!

So what I do is: Crack a bunch of eggs in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of milk (or more), salt and pepper, and whip 'em up real good. Pour into a hot pan ( I either use a little oil, or just spray Pam-stuff). Then I let the bottom cook a little, push to the side so the runny stuff can get to the bottom of the pan, and continue til it's all cooked. My greatest challenge is to not to overcook them.

Wow, that was a long answer from a person who knows NOTHING about cooking. Maybe I should do a cooking show with my mad skills. :)

Good luck,Val.

They say if you use water instead of milk they are more fluffy. I mix a little water and a few eggs then into a pan, sprayed with pam. I let them cook for a minute then start mixing them up until finished. Throw a few bacon bits and cheese in there and the family loves them. Remember this is coming from a vegetarian, so I don't know if they really are good, but hey they love them. Good luck.

The oatmeal waffles sound so good...you need to post the recipe or brand. I do what Brooke does. Make sure the pan isn't too hot. I think the milk keeps them moist and yummy.
