Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack the two large eggs into a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs vigorously with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture looks uniform with a smooth, pale yellow color.
- Season the egg mixture with a pinch of salt and a small amount of freshly ground black pepper, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Place a non-stick skillet or small frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the bottom and sides with the melted butter.
- Once the butter is melted and starts to foam slightly, pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft, creamy curds.
- Continue stirring and folding the eggs every 15-20 seconds to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Remove the pan from heat when the eggs are still slightly wet but mostly set, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs immediately to a serving plate to prevent overcooking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature for the creamiest results.
- Always cook scrambled eggs on medium-low heat to prevent toughness and ensure a soft, creamy texture.
- Don't overmix the eggs while cooking - gentle folding creates those beautiful, fluffy curds.
- Remove the eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet, as they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and make cleaning up a breeze.
- Experiment with adding herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
- For extra richness, you can substitute half the butter with a splash of cream.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
