EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS
Adding a small amount of a starchy slurry to scrambled eggs - a technique learned from Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady & Pups - prevents them from setting up too firmly, resulting in eggs that stay tender and moist, whether you like them soft-, medium- or hard-scrambled. Potato or tapioca starch is active at slightly lower temperatures than cornstarch and will produce a slightly more tender scramble, but cornstarch works just fine if it's what you've got on hand. Make sure your skillet is at just the right temperature by heating a tablespoon of water in the skillet and waiting for it to evaporate. For creamier eggs, you can replace the water with milk or half-and-half.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
- Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

- In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until hot. Then add salt, cumin, coriander and turmeric powder. Put in chili powder if you want it really spicy. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are crispy and brown. Spicy potatoes and scrambled eggs are now ready to serve!

SCRAMBLED EGGS
It took me many years to perfect the simple art of a few scrambled eggs. Seems the simpler the dish, the harder it becomes! My simple rules are this: Rich, creamy eggs? Use a splash of heavy cream whisked in with the eggs. Lighter, fluffier eggs? Use a splash of water whisked in with the eggs. Decadent and rich eggs? Use a splash of water whisked in with the eggs and stir in some tiny cubes of butter at the VERY last minute of scrambling.

Steps:
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with a scant tablespoon water. Whisk only enough to mix. You don't want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
- Cook the eggs: Place 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. Lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Stir the eggs gently and constantly. Then, allow the eggs to cook 15 to 30 seconds, then stir again, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to keep the eggs moving.
- Finish: When cooked but still somewhat "soft", 2 to 3 minutes, sprinkle with a touch more salt. Stir and transfer to a serving dish so the eggs don't continue to cook in the hot pan.
COUNTRY EGG, CITY EGG MASHED-POTATO BAKED EGGS
Always motivated to get dinner on the table quicker than the night before, I create leftovers to get ahead on the next night's meal. I'm forever looking for inventive and savory ways to incorporate my leftovers into the simplest preparations. This recipe is an inspired short version of the irresistible original, "lifted" from my very favorite egg cookbook, "Country Egg, City Egg," by Gayle Pirie and John Clark. Served with a simple salad, this is a great midweek meal.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Divide the mashed potatoes into four individual baking dishes. Make a deep well in the center of the mashed potatoes. Crack an egg directly into each well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese over each egg. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until eggs are done to your likeness.
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
SLOW-SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH POTATOES, MUSHROOMS, AND BACON
For years, I would eat eggs only as an excuse to have bacon and hash browns. And then I made this discovery-the French method of slow cooking. The results of this technique are so good, I'd be perfectly happy to eat the eggs plain, without embellishment, but in this version I still get my potatoes and bacon. This dish requires patience: it's tempting to turn the heat up and finish the eggs quickly, but if you do, they will lose the creamy, custardy consistency that elevates this dish beyond breakfast. Try these eggs as a first course before something simple and light, such as a vegetable or chicken sauté, or grilled fish or beef. You can also serve them for brunch, with fresh fruit or a green salad.

Steps:
- Put the potato dice in a small pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add the potatoes to the leftover bacon fat, and cook over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until mushrooms are tender and lightly brown. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set it aside while you cook the eggs.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs and cream. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula until they just begin to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- At this point, lower the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir. Don't cheat-in order to make the eggs as creamy as possible, it's important to stir gently and continuously, and take your time. When the eggs begin to thicken, after about 5 minutes, remove the pot from the heat.
- Warm the brioche or toast the bread lightly. Set the potato-mushroom mixture over medium heat, add the bacon, and warm thoroughly. Return the eggs to low heat and cook until they will just barely hold together and resemble a thick, creamy sauce, then spoon them over the brioche or toast. Spoon the potato mixture over or around the eggs and sprinkle with chives.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper with fork or whisk until well mixed; set aside.
- In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add frozen potatoes; cook 2 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.
- Pour egg mixture into skillet. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist; stir in bacon. Reduce heat to low; sprinkle with cheese. Cover; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

- Combine the potatoes, water, oil and salt in a 10-inch skillet. The author suggested a non-stick skillet but in my opinion there’s nothing a well-seasoned cast iron skillet can’t do.
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about five minutes, until the water has evaporated and the potatoes start to sauté.
- Uncover the potatoes and loosen them from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon until lightly browned, about five minutes later. If you’re using dried spices or herbs, add them now.
- In a bowl, scramble the eggs with a dash of milk. Pour the eggs into the skillet, toss in the scallions and scramble until the eggs are just set. Remove the skillet from heat.
