Creamy Orange Scramble

Prep 5 min Cook 5 min Difficulty 1/5

Creamy orange scramble with eggs, milk, orange juice and zest. Soft curds, low heat, ready in 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Crack eggs into a bowl and add milk, orange juice, orange zest, salt, and pepper; whisk until blended and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and melt the butter, swirling to coat the pan.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until edges begin to set.
  4. Using a spatula, gently push set edges toward the center, letting uncooked egg flow to the pan, stirring slowly and folding to form soft curds.
  5. Continue cooking on low heat, stirring occasionally, until eggs are mostly set but still glossy and slightly moist.
  6. Remove from heat while eggs are slightly underdone; let residual heat finish cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  7. Transfer to plates immediately and serve warm.

A bright, creamy scramble with orange zest and juice for a citrusy breakfast. Easy to pull off and deliciously soft.

Can I adjust the citrus level? Yes. Fresh orange juice adds brightness; zest enhances aroma. Adjust to taste for a milder or stronger citrus flavor.
How can I change the texture? Yes. Use fewer eggs or reduce milk for a firmer scramble, or add a splash of cream for extra creaminess.
