Method
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk lightly until combined. A touch of milk or cream can add richness, but it’s optional. Season with salt and pepper.
Butter and olive oil both work well for scrambled eggs. Melt your chosen fat in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Resist the urge to stir immediately. Allow the eggs to set slightly on the bottom before gently pulling them from the edges towards the center with a rubber spatula.
Continue gently stirring and folding the eggs as they cook. The goal is to create soft, creamy curds. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Scrambled eggs cook quickly. Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet. The residual heat will continue to cook them.
Enjoy your perfect scrambled eggs hot with your favorite toppings like cheese, chives, or avocado.
Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
- Low heat: Cooking over low heat prevents overcooking and ensures a creamy texture.
- Don’t overmix: Excessive stirring can lead to rubbery eggs.
- Fresh eggs: Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Experiment with add-ins: Try different cheeses, vegetables, or herbs to customize your scrambled eggs.
With a little practice, you’ll be mastering the art of scrambled egg perfection in no time. So, why wait? Give this recipe a try and elevate your breakfast game!
