Cooking Eggs for Kirsten (Ree Style)

My Mom & I have become quite obsessed with Ree Drummond. We've been making recipes from her cookbooks & her blog. She's just simply amazing. We also bought her book "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels". I started reading it this morning and I'm halfway through. I actually didn't want to put the Nook down to post a blog, but I'm trying to stay committed to the blog.

In Rees' cookbooks and on her blog, she documents every step of her cooking process with pictures. So, this evening when my sickly daughter (who rarely eats anymore) told me she was hungry, I jumped out of my chair, and prepared to make her a wholesome meal. But she wanted scrambled eggs (her favorite). So, in true Ree style (and because it's lonely here tonight), I decided to document the way that Kirsten wants her eggs made. (note: she's not much of an eater, so I use the entire egg for her, along with vegetable oil & butter ~ not the healthiest thing, but when she rarely eats, then it's not much of an issue)

Scrambled Eggs ~ Kirstens' Way

Preheat a small skillet to Med or Med High

& add a small amount of vegetable oil (use Pam if you want to be healthy, but that's not how we eat!)

Add a small spoon of butter, let it heat up

In a small bowl, crack open two eggs (we use the whole egg, but you can use whites if you prefer)

Stir it up with a fork or a whisk (I prefer forks, because they are easier to clean~and I have no dishwasher!)

Add a few pinches of cheddar cheese (salt & pepper if you wish, but I don't)

Once your pan & oil/butter is heated, then add the egg mixture to the pan

Meanwhile...

Stir eggs with a spatula & continue to cook them until they are light & fluffy

Chop them up really good with the spatula. Much easier for serving to kids. Eggs are done when they are light & fluffy with all the liquid absorbed.

And finally, serve.

Enjoy watching them eat it, then get to cleanin' it up! Miss Independent makes a big mess.

~~ I'm sure you all know how to scramble eggs. Basic cooking 101, right? But thanks for reading, I had fun sharing our eggs escapades with you.
