Simple, classic, and endlessly customizable! 🍳 Scrambled eggs are all about gentle cooking and timing to get them soft, creamy, and fluffy. Here’s a foolproof method:
🍳 Perfect Scrambled Eggs
(Serves 2)
🧂 Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for creamier texture)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Optional mix-ins: shredded cheese, herbs (chives, parsley), sautéed veggies
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the eggs:
- Crack eggs into a bowl.
- Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan:
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add butter and let it melt, coating the pan.
- Cook gently:
- Pour in the eggs.
- Let them sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds.
- Gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Create soft curds:
- Continue stirring occasionally, letting the eggs form soft curds.
- Remove from heat just before fully set, as residual heat will finish cooking them.
- Serve:
- Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Add optional toppings: cheese, herbs, or veggies.
- Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or bacon.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Creamy eggs: Cook very slowly over low heat, stirring gently, almost like a custard.
- Fluffy eggs: Beat in a little sparkling water instead of milk.
- Cheesy scramble: Stir in cheese just before finishing cooking for gooey texture.
- Herb scramble: Fold in fresh herbs at the end to keep flavor bright.
