Basic Ingredients
- 2–3 Fresh Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter or Oil
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons Milk or Cream (optional)
Instructions
- Crack and Beat the Eggs: Use fresh eggs and crack them into a bowl. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy, which helps create fluffiness.
- Heat Your Pan and Add Fat: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil and allow it to melt and warm up, but avoid letting it brown to keep the eggs light.
- Pour in the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and let them sit without stirring for a few moments until you see tiny curds beginning to form at the edges.
- Gently Stir and Fold: Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Repeat slowly, allowing soft curds to form and preventing overcooking.
- Season and Finish: Just before the eggs are fully set but still slightly runny, season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, as they will continue cooking with residual heat, ensuring creamy, tender scrambled eggs.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to cook eggs gently and avoid rubbery textures.
- Beat eggs just enough to incorporate air without breaking them down too much.
- Butter is preferred over oil for a richer, silkier finish.
- Remove eggs from heat slightly before fully cooked to keep them creamy.
- Add milk or cream sparingly to avoid watery eggs.
