Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Optional: chives or cheese
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Add milk to the eggs and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely uniform and slightly frothy, creating a smooth and consistent texture.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, whisking to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Place a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium-low heat and add butter, allowing it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the butter is melted and begins to foam slightly, pour in the seasoned egg mixture.
- Using a silicone or wooden spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft, large curds.
- Continue cooking, periodically folding and stirring the eggs, ensuring they cook evenly and do not stick to the pan bottom.
- Remove the pan from heat when eggs are still slightly wet but mostly set, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
- Transfer eggs immediately to serving plates to prevent overcooking.
- Optional: Garnish with finely chopped chives or sprinkle shredded cheese on top for additional flavor.
- Serve immediately with toast, bacon, or your preferred breakfast accompaniments.
Tips
- Use Fresh Eggs: The fresher the eggs, the better the flavor and texture. Look for eggs that are as fresh as possible for the best results.
- Whisk Well: Whisk the eggs and milk together until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy. This incorporates air and helps create fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Low and Slow: Cooking the eggs over medium-low heat is key. This allows for gentle cooking, giving you soft, creamy curds rather than dry, rubbery eggs.
- Don’t Overcook: Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly wet. They will continue to cook from residual heat, resulting in perfectly creamy scrambled eggs.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients! Chopped chives, shredded cheese, or even a dash of hot sauce can take your scrambled eggs to the next level.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh off the stove. Serve them right away with your favorite breakfast sides for a delightful meal.
