Introduction:
Scrambled eggs—so simple, yet so easy to get wrong. If you’ve ever ended up with rubbery, dry, or oddly bland eggs, you’re not alone. Many home cooks (myself included!) go years making scrambled eggs the wrong way without even realizing it. After stumbling across a better method, I was shocked at the difference. Tonight, I’m committing to doing it right—and I invite you to do the same.
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 tbsp whole milk or cream (optional, for added creaminess)
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Optional toppings: chopped chives, shredded cheese, or a dash of hot sauce
Preparation:
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined—no streaks!
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs before cooking (this enhances flavor and improves texture).
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low to medium-low heat. This is key! High heat will ruin the texture.
Pour in the eggs and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in slow circles, occasionally sweeping the edges to the center.
Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy and soft. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve scrambled eggs immediately for the best texture and flavor.
If you must store them, let them cool completely before sealing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to avoid drying them out.
