Introduction
Scrambled eggs are a beloved breakfast staple, appreciated for their simplicity and versatility. But achieving the perfect creamy texture and rich flavor takes more than just cracking eggs and heating a pan. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to make scrambled eggs that are fluffy, velvety, and downright delicious every single time.
Ingredients
To prepare perfectly scrambled eggs, you’ll need:
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Prep the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk vigorously until the whites and yolks are completely combined. If you prefer creamy scrambled eggs, mix in the milk or cream at this stage.
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat. Add the butter or oil and let it melt completely, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Cook Slowly
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, scraping the bottom of the pan as they begin to set.
Tip: Low heat is key to achieving a soft and creamy texture. Resist the urge to rush.
Remove from Heat
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue cooking the eggs. Stir gently until they reach your desired consistency.
Serve Immediately
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and enjoy them while warm. Garnish with fresh herbs, cheese, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flair.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Pair scrambled eggs with toast, sautéed vegetables, or crispy bacon for a complete breakfast.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to avoid drying them out.
