Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely blended and slightly frothy, creating a uniform yellow color.
- Finely chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts for layered flavor distribution.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Add the white parts of the chopped green onions to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds to release their aromatic flavors.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, letting them spread across the surface of the pan.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft, creamy curds.
- Continue cooking, folding and stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still appear slightly wet.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with the green parts of the chopped onions for added freshness and color.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are warm and fluffy.
Tips
- Low and Slow is the Way to Go: Always cook scrambled eggs on medium-low heat to prevent overcooking and maintain a creamy, soft texture.
- Whisk with Purpose: Beat your eggs thoroughly but not too aggressively. You want to incorporate air for fluffiness without creating tough eggs.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Choose farm-fresh eggs and crisp green onions for the most vibrant flavor and best results.
- Don't Overcook: Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking from residual heat and remain perfectly creamy.
- Butter is Better: Use real butter for unbeatable flavor and smooth texture. Avoid margarine or oil substitutes.
- Salt at the End: Adding salt too early can break down eggs, so season just before serving for the best texture.
