How to make cajun scrambled eggs?
The ingredients
Eggs. I use organic brown eggs; I like them being creamy with subtle flavor. But feel free to use the ones you regularly use.
Butter. The butter and egg combo is inseparable, but swapping with olive oil is also a significant flavorful variation. When using salted butter, adjust the quantity of the salt.
Cajun seasoning. Use the store-bought seasoning and homemade seasoning.
Black pepper. Adds up the heat and nutty flavors. Stir in finely chopped jalapeno or bell pepper to spice up the Cajun scrambled eggs.
The recipe directions
Add eggs, salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a mixing bowl.
Whisk until all the ingredients are combined and become fluffy.
Place a pan over medium heat, add butter. And allow it to melt down.
Add the spiced egg mixture and pour in.
Once the sides start leaving out the pan, use a spatula and fold and bring the sides to the center. Keep repeating until the eggs get cooked and become scrambles.
Remove it from the heat and serve with bread or vegetables.
Storing Ideas

Freeze. Yes, Cajun scrambled eggs can be frozen. Eggs are delicate when it comes to storing. If making for parties or looking for make-ahead options, freeze them as soon as you make it.
To do this, as soon as the cooking part is done. Bring the eggs to room temperature. Then, immediately transfer them to the airtight containers and freeze them. Ensure not to leave it on the kitchen counter for over an hour.
How to reheat?
Thaw. Thawing is required for the frozen Cajun scrambled eggs. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight—alternatively, microwave for immediate use.
For the stovetop method, Heat a pan with the butter. Then, add the eggs and stir continuously. Butter cooks the eggs softer than the cooking oil. And discard any liquid that comes out from the eggs.
For the microwave method, Add the Instant Pot scrambled eggs to the microwave-safe bowl. Close it with a paper towel to avoid any splutter. Then cook for 30 seconds, then give a stir, and again cook in this way until the eggs are done completely.
