Thanks to trying this I really like scrambled eggs made into salad:
In fact I liked this so much that outside of Ottolenghiās curried egg and cauliflower salad I donāt think Iāll bother making egg salad with boiled eggs again.
I used kefir cream rather than labne. Really tasty and quick breakfast in a spinach tortilla!

I just watched the video and Iām intrigued in a slightly apprehensive way. Did you chill the salad or leave it warm/lukewarm? And how was the texture? I feel like scrambled eggs are so tender that this would effectively be a bowl of mush with chunks of gherkin, which just seemsā¦weird.
I liked it because I think it has more texture than when eggs are boiled, but as Iāve said, my preference is for fluffy eggs with large, distinct curds, so mine were likely cooked a bit more than hers. I didnāt chill.
The eggs cool pretty fast and so by the time I warmed my tortilla they werenāt hot, at which point I mixed in the kefir cream and other ingredients. I scrambled the eggs with the scallions to begin with. I didnāt have the gherkins because I forgot about them, but they would probably be good. I also probably used more kefir cream per egg than she did since I just added to taste and made a couple of eggs. I mean when you think about it the only thing that makes it seem weird is calling it egg salad, because itās ultimately scrambled eggs enriched with tangy yogurt. Itās not that far off from scrambled eggs with a dollop of crĆØme fraiche.
Similarly the Ottolenghi egg salad recipe I like so much isnāt chilled and contains a hefty dose of yogurt:

I recently saw scrambled eggs used for an egg salad sandwich here as well, but here theyāre just eggs enriched with mayo really.

I have one of those coil whisks. Works great for scrambled eggs.
Ron Popeil, of Pocket Fisherman, Veg-O-Magic, Showtime Rotisserie fame, didnāt like thoroughly scrambled eggs. So he invented the Inside the Eggshell Egg Scrambler.
Evidently the pin goes inside the egg shell and scrambles the contents.
It was not one of his best sellers.
No, I donāt have oneš

We had one. My partner loved it. And then it broke and replacements were not available. Heās stuck with a hand blender, now.

Oh NO!!! Truth be told, I donāt like globs of white in my scrambled eggs, either. I use that spring whisk.

I finally tried folded eggs and am impressed. I used a couple of eggs, a splash of whole milk, and a pinch of salt, whisked with a fork, cooked over low to medium heat in melted butter. They were quite easy and a worthy alternative to whisking with cream and cooking in a double boiler. Plus they came out looking almost like a flower blossom.

Two (at least): Folded eggs and Australian eggs. Maybe we can add one!

Itās what I expect short-order eggs to look like when I order them.

They are a natural byproduct of a big flattop and a large Dexter spatula where the cook has to keep them in place. Short order cooks generally prefer flipping eggs and hash browns to anything they have to keep in motion.

A lot depends on the type of scramble you choose. For the European low-and-slow types, which result in creamy eggs, I think some fat (cream and/or butter) is important in the mixing. For the quick-and-curdy type (my favorite, but I like all), it is well to mix in about a teaspoon of water per egg before scrambling. Water adds some explosion factor.
I never spend a long time in the physical scrambling itself, especially for the quick and curdy style. I whisk vigorously with a fork in a small steel mixing bowl until it looks homogenous. Your mileage might vary if you try mixing yolks and eggs in a shallow bowl, which would probably inhibit your mixing vigor from fear of spillage. Thatās my two cents!

My wife and I split a two folded egg serving. I could eat ten more.
