- Whisk Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are completely blended for a smooth texture that cooks evenly.
- Customize Ingredients: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients like diced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or herbs to personalize your scrambled eggs.
- Keep It Low and Slow: Cooking on low heat for about 2 hours allows the eggs to become creamy and fluffy without overcooking.
- Stir Occasionally: Gently stir the mixture every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking to the sides of the pot.
- Check for Doneness: Start checking for doneness around the
- 5-hour mark. The eggs should be soft and creamy, not dry or rubbery.
