Scrambled eggs with lemon juice: Discover the secret of fluffiness
Scrambled eggs are a staple on many tables. Although they seem simple to prepare, there are many ways to enhance their taste and texture. "Top Chef" participant and chef at the Tarasowa restaurant in Wrocław, Katarzyna Daniłowicz, suggests adding juice from a popular citrus fruit. The trick, known to few, is to add lemon juice. This sour liquid keeps the egg whites from setting too quickly, lending the dish lightness. How much should you use to avoid an overly sour taste?
How to prepare scrambled eggs with lemon juice
To make perfect scrambled eggs, you only need a few drops of juice per egg. If you're making scrambled eggs with several eggs, use a teaspoon for measuring rather than a large tablespoon.
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 flat teaspoon of lemon juice
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon of butter
Preparation method:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the lemon juice. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until combined.
- Melt the butter in a pan over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook over low heat, stirring gently.
- As the scrambled eggs start to set, remove them from the heat and serve immediately.
