Ingredient Breakdown

4 Eggs
1 Tablespoon Miso Paste
1 Tablespoon Milk or Cream
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Butter or Oil for Cooking
Chopped Green Onions (optional for garnish)

Let’s Get Cooking!

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, miso paste, and milk (or cream) until well combined. You want it smooth and fluffy, give it about 30-40 seconds of good whisking. It makes a HUGE difference!
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter (maybe about a tablespoon). You want that going until the butter melts and starts foaming, oh, that smell!
Pour in your egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set, which takes about 20-30 seconds. This waiting is critical, don’t rush!
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center. You want to do this stirring frequently but gently, just enough to keep it airy. Think fluffy clouds!
Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are soft and fluffy. Honestly, keep an eye on it, nobody likes a rubbery egg moment.
Once they look like the perfect dreamy texture, season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped green onions if desired, seriously, you’ll love the freshness!
Now, serve immediately! Enjoy these miso scrambled eggs with a piece of toast or send them into wraps for a quirky breakfast burrito. Whatever floats your boat!

Serving and Storage

Serving Suggestions

I recommend serving your Miso Scrambled Eggs with toast, avocado, or even in a breakfast burrito! They’re also fantastic alongside a fresh salad for a brunch option that impresses without too much fuss.

Storage

Leftovers? Yes, please! You can store any leftover scrambled eggs in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Just make sure to keep them in an airtight container to maintain that fluffy goodness.

Reheating Instructions

For reheating, I recommend doing it low and slow on the stovetop to keep their texture from turning rubbery. Just add a splash of milk as you warm them up, you’ll be back to creamy in no time!

Freezer Friendly

While I recommend enjoying them fresh, these aren’t the best for freezing if you want that fluffy texture. But if you must, freeze them, and just reheat with care later.
