This Genius Way To Make Scrambled Eggs Perfectly Sandwich-Shaped In Under A Minute

Even though scrambled eggs are fairly easy to make, layering this perfect protein into neat sandwiches can be quite difficult. When making breakfast, your primary concern is usually following the proper stirring method for the best possible scrambled eggs. After all, the last thing you want to do is burn your breakfast. However, there is one easy-to-follow preparation method that leaves you with perfectly-shaped eggs for your next morning sandwich.

This particular technique involves strategically pushing your eggs together as they cook to form a soft, yet concise, mound. As you gather your eggs little by little, they continue to cook by way of residual heat. Come mealtime, you're left with a perfectly intact, moist pile of scrambled eggs. Before testing this method, start by following a few foolproof secrets for the best scrambled eggs — this includes using farm fresh eggs if possible, and pre-cracking them into a separate bowl before cooking. Then, whisk your eggs until both the whites and yolks are fully combined. Once your pan becomes nice and hot, add an even pour of cooking oil, followed by your eggs. Let your pan rest undisturbed for a handful of seconds, then use a spatula to push your eggs together from the outside in, toward the center of your pan. In just under a minute, with constant motion, you should be able to slide a perfectly uniform mound of eggs directly onto your next breakfast sandwich.

In order to follow this cooking method with success, there are a few factors you should consider. First off, use a pan with a non-stick surface so your eggs don't stick to it. While cast iron and stainless steel pans are fine to use when cooking traditional scrambled eggs, this specific method relies on non-stick pans for easy maneuvering. Additionally, using a smaller pan is best, especially if you plan on cooking anywhere between one to four eggs. A smaller surface area lessens the possibility of overcooking and leaves you with perfectly soft scrambled eggs that finish cooking off the stove through carry-over heat. Just make sure your pan is nice and hot from the start.

After you discover crafting soft, uniform eggs is easier than you thought, utilize any saved time to prepare a range of tasty toppings for your next round of breakfast sandwiches. Before cooking your eggs, toast your bread or bagels and line them with sliced cheese, cooked bacon or sausage, pico de gallo, and combined mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice (the three-ingredient sauce every breakfast sandwich needs). Once you experience how easy it is to create a perfect mound of eggs in under a minute, you can ditch frozen store-bought breakfast sandwiches for delicious, homemade sandwiches any day of the week.
