Teaching your kids to scramble eggs is a great introduction to using the stove. Corban is almost three, so I let him use
the stove today with close supervision, but I would suggest mom or dad doing the cooking portion if your mini chef is younger
than three. Sometimes it can be hard to get Corban to eat protein. But he is almost always excited to eat eggs. We eat so
many that we hope to have our own backyard chickens one day, something I am proud to have been a part of getting allowed
in our city during my time in the Mayor’s office. But for now, we buy them from friends, or sometimes the grocery store.

When I told him he was going to get to cook on the stove today, he just stared at me.

So we gave him his basket of eggs, and he just kept staring! I guess it didn’t compute for him, because as far back as he
can remember he’s been told not to touch the stove, and now mama was telling him he was going to use it.

But he finally seemed to understand, and got very excited that he was going to get to cook his own eggs.

Then he pulled an egg out of the basket and started singing to the egg about how he was going to scramble it!

HOW TO SCRAMBLE EGGS LIKE A PRO

Teaching kids to crack eggs is a great confidence builder. We used eight eggs today, and I helped him with the first six,
then he did the last two on his own. He was SO proud!

I say, “hold it gently and hit it hard”, then “pull it apart but don’t squeeze”.

Once all the eggs have been cracked and put into your bowl, it’s time to whisk them. This simply means using a whisk or
a fork to quickly stir the eggs. When the whites and yolks are all mixed together, you’re done.

Then you can mix in some salt…

…and pepper.

Now, the most important tip for how to scramble eggs like a pro, is to cook them low and slow. We do medium low heat, any
hotter and the eggs stick faster than you can stir and scrape.

Now melt some butter in a non-stick pan, and then you can pour your eggs in.

Start stirring immediately with a silicone spatula. The eggs in the photo above might look raw, but the part touching the
pan has already started cooking and needs to be scraped up.

Gently scrape the pan with your spatula, pulling the cooked eggs up so the raw part can fill in and get cooked. Don’t break
the eggs apart, you want big fluffy curds, just keep scraping along the bottom and sides. As the eggs all start to come together,
just gently flip them with the spatula until they no longer look really wet.

And now you know how to scramble eggs perfectly! I like to add a sprinkling of fresh thyme or chives to add some color and
flavor, but perfectly scrambled eggs are wonderful plain as well.

Take a look at Corban’s awesome bear paw oven mitts. Oven mitts are VERY important for young mini chefs. Even though I was
right there supervising, and Corban has burned himself before (so knows how much it hurts), his impulse control is just not
strong enough to resist the temptation. As the frying pan was heating up, he reached right out and touched it with the tip
of his finger to see if it was really as hot as I told him. It was. We immediately ran his finger under cold water, and he
was fine, but from now on we will definitely keep oven mitts on him until he’s older.

MOTHER BRUCE BOOK AND BEAR PAW OVEN MITT GIVEAWAY

Need some oven mitts for your mini chef? This Mini Chef Monday we are partnering with Disney Publishing to bring you a fun

As a family who loves to read and loves to laugh, we jumped at the chance to get an advance copy of this cute new book called
Mother Bruce. Bruce the bear likes to keep to himself. That, and eat eggs. But when his hard-boiled goose eggs turn out to
be real, live goslings, he starts to lose his appetite. And even worse, the goslings are convinced he’s their mother. Bruce
tries to get the geese to go south, but he can’t seem to rid himself of his new companions. What’s a bear to do? (
