Scrambled eggs with mayo?
I was recently looking at posts in another group and came across a food
blog in which the writer described and photographed making the best scrambled eggs ever - with mayo. I had never heard of such a thing, and I been reading this group for over a year, and I`ve seen more then a couple scrambled eggs threads and I can`t ever recall anyone ever putting mayo in scrambled eggs! Does anyone here do this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Always do sober what you said you`d do drunk.

Does anyone here do this? I can't say that it sounds disgusting. I just don't see the point in adding it to the eggs. I can understand using some as a condiment if someone has overcooked scrambled eggs. I like mine nice and wet. |

You must have a different "bottle" of Hellmann's Mayo. MY Hellmann's (the ONLY brand of mayo I use, along with most of the free world) list ingredients as: soybean OIL, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar, salt, sugar, etc, etc. I am positive YOU know that the FIRST ingredient in any packaged product it the most prevalent...and reducing in quantity as listed. I repeat....MAYO is JUST FAT.....my people call it soybean OIL. Did you notice that WATER precedes whole eggs and egg yolks? Check your facts first. The Fine Art of Cooking involves personal choice. Many preferences, ingredients, and procedures may not be consistent with what you know to be true. As with any recipe, you may find your personal intervention will be necessary. Bon Appetit! |

It has all those other high fat ingredients. is not JUST fat. > I am positive YOU know that the FIRST ingredient in any packaged > product it the most prevalent...and reducing in quantity as listed. I KNOW that the FIRST ingredient is the MOST PREVALENT, I also KNOW that the MOST PREVALENT ingredient is not THE ONLY ingredient. > I repeat....MAYO is JUST FAT.....my people call it soybean OIL. And looking at the ingredients that YOU posted I will thank you for proving my point that it is not all fat. > Did you notice that WATER precedes whole eggs and egg yolks? Check > your facts first. Yes, I saw that. The last time I checked WATER was not ALL FAT. I can check that fact for you if you insist, but I am counting on you realizing how stupid that sounds before I bother. > The Fine Art of Cooking involves personal choice. > Many preferences, ingredients, and procedures > may not be consistent with what you know to be true. FWIW, I seldom use mayo. If I am counting on doing something with mayo, I make it, and the recipe I use has egg yolks and olive oil with some bustard, salt and pepper. > As with any recipe, you may find your personal > intervention will be necessary. Bon Appetit! LOL You talk about recipes and then cite the label on your mayo jar. |

It doesn't make them creamy, it makes them more oily. Mayo is an oil/water emulsion. Some say adding water to eggs makes scrambled eggs fluffier. Perhaps mayo would have a similar effect. Steve |

Does anyone here do this? > I wouldn't do it, and if it was JARRED MAYO, I'd say that the poster was a person of horrible taste. I'm not a big fan even of fresh mayo, but the difference between freshly made mayo and the jarred crap is huge. I've had mayonnaise that was made with nothing but egg yolks, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice and salt that I can say that I enjoyed. I'm living up to my moniker, no? --Bryan |

Do you add milk when making scrambled eggs? That would effectively add fat for creaminess, water for fluffiness (and a bit of non-egg protein for variety). Anyway, here's one version of "creamy scrambled eggs": <quoting http://southernfood.about.com/od/eggrecipes/r/bl30102z.htm> Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Bacon From Diana Rattray, Your Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine. INGREDIENTS: 1/2 pound sliced bacon 2 tablespoons butter 8 eggs 1/3 cup heavy cream 3/4 teaspoon salt PREPARATION: Cook bacon to desired doneness and transfer to paper towels to drain. Keep warm. Pour off bacon grease and melt butter in the same skillet. Beat eggs lightly and whisk in cream, salt, and pepper. Pour into hot skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened but still moist, about 6 to 9 minutes. Transfer to hot platter and garnish with bacon strips. Serves 4. </quoting> Why not use the bacon grease too? Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

(But isn't there some sort of liqueur with a name rather like that? Might be a goer. :-) Local avocados are going to be in rather short supply here in NQ, courtesy of the recent passing of TC Larry across our main growing areas. For a few weeks probably won't be too bad -- I'm told farmers have been able to gather some of the wind fall in fair condition. However, where the trees themselves have suffered badly, production is likely to be well down for some time. Ill winds and all that -- leaves more opportunity for growers elsewhere. (Including those in bloody Kiwiland, Kathy. :-) Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

I've heard of adding mayo before. I was out of milk this morning, so scrounged through the fridge for a substitute for my egg casserole. I used mayo.
