Notes

A Scramble Egg Bagel pairs wonderfully with a hot coffee or freshly squeezed juice for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Here are some top tips for achieving perfectly soft, creamy scrambled eggs every time for the ultimate Scramble Egg Bagel:

Use Fresh Eggs

The fresher the eggs, the better the texture and flavour.

Whisk Well Before Cooking

Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps make them light and fluffy.
Adding a splash of milk or cream enhances the creaminess.

3. Low and Slow is the Key

Cook the eggs on low heat to prevent them from becoming dry or rubbery.
Stir gently and continuously with a spatula to create soft, curd-like folds.

4. Don’t Overcook

Remove the eggs from the heat while they’re still slightly runny—they will continue cooking from the residual heat.

5. Use Butter, Not Oil

Butter adds richness and gives the eggs a smooth texture.

6. Season at the End

Adding salt too early can draw moisture from the eggs, making them watery. Always season just before serving.

Follow these tips, and your scramble egg bagel will be mouth watering every time.
