Scrambled Eggs Calories 3 Eggs

There are other factors that'll change the number of calories in an egg, though, including the way in which it's cooked. A large poached egg has 72 calories, according to the USDA, but a large hard-boiled egg has 78 calories. A large fried egg has 90 calories. A single, large scrambled egg has 91 calories, likely because of the addition of milk, and a large egg that's been cooked in an omelet has 94 calories.
For instance, if you eat two large hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, you're only consuming 156 calories. That's about as many calories as a cup of cooked oatmeal without any sugar; if you add any toppings to that oatmeal, however, like berries or nuts, the calorie count will jump drastically. A commercially prepared medium blueberry muffin has nearly three times the number of calories as two hard-boiled eggs: 424, according to the USDA.
Whisk 2 Tbsp. chives, crme frache (if using), and eggs in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add egg mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cook, occasionally scraping bottom of skillet with a heatproof spatula to form large, soft curds, until just barely set, 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Place 2 slices toast on each plate. Put avocado into a bowl, mash with a fork, and season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread mashed avocado over each slice of toast. Spoon eggs over avocado. Drape salmon slices over eggs, garnish with remaining 1 Tbsp. chives, and season to taste with pepper.
Add egg mixture, wait 5 seconds (for the base to just start setting) then start leisurely (not frantically!) running a rubber spatula or flat edge wooden spoon in long strokes back and forth across the pan, and around the edges. This technique pushes the cooked egg off the base and piles them up (which creates those beautiful soft curds you see) and lets the raw egg spread out into the pan to cook;
After 30 seconds, also start gently folding the eggs over (ie scoop and gently flip). Keep pushing/folding for 60 seconds total cook time or until raw runny egg no longer spreads out onto the pan and you have a pile of soft, custardy egg, ever so slightly underdone;
Remove from the stove, stir / fold for another 10 seconds or until cooked to your taste. If you want it cooked more, return it to the stove briefly. Photo below shows the eggs just off the stove, ready for serving.
After years of trying to perfect scrambled eggs, today I went simple and tried this recipe. I have always added heaps of condiments and never once got it right. This is the best tasting scrambled eggs I have ever eaten. So quick, so simple and so tasty. Just perfect!
Really nothing to add, but I will pass it on just FYI. Somewhere in a land far away, I read to scramble your eggs with chop sticks. Tried it once, took a little longer but sure seem to make the texture creamier.

The number of calories in fried eggs depends on the amount and type of oil, butter or margarine (if any) that is used in the frypan. Generally, using oil, butter or margarine will result in a fried egg having more calories than a boiled or poached egg.

**Optional step: depending on your required macros for weight loss, you may elect to remove some or all of the egg yolks by separating them from the egg whites during the cracking process. This reduces your overall fat consumption and lowers calories.
Proper egg cracking technique is as follows: with a clean, raw egg in hand, strike the side of the raw egg onto a hard, flat surface. This cracks the egg shell, but importantly leaves the inner membrane intact. Next use the tip of your thumb to pierce the membrane, hold the egg over the mixing bowl, and use both hands to grab both sides of the shell, and separate, allowing the egg white and yolk to drop into the bowl.
Simply pass the yolk between the two shell halves, allowing gravity to separate the egg whites and fall into your mixing bowl. You can dispose of the yolks with the shells. You may also add C skim milk to the mixing bowl to impart a fluffier texture to the dish.
Next whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are mostly incorporated; this creates ribbons of egg whites and yolks in your cooked dish, resulting in a more complex texture. You may choose to whisk the eggs until fully emulsified, creating a creamier scrambled egg consistency and texture.
Now, pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan. The eggs turn from runny to solid as they cook. Use your spatula to fold the eggs around in the pan, creating layers. These layers create pockets of creaminess intermixed with fluffiness. Turn the burner off, and remove the pan from heat about 30 seconds prior to the eggs being cooked to your liking. A shorter cook time produces more creaminess, while longer produces more fluffiness.
