Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Add the 1/4 cup of sour cream to the eggs, whisking thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The sour cream will help create a creamy, rich texture.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste, continuing to whisk until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg and sour cream mixture into the skillet.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft, creamy curds. Avoid stirring too vigorously to maintain a tender texture.
- Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, folding the eggs occasionally, until they are just set but still look slightly wet. The residual heat will continue cooking the eggs.
- Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent overcooking, as eggs can quickly become dry and rubbery.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and garnish with additional fresh ground pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the creamy, rich scrambled eggs.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use medium-low heat to prevent eggs from becoming tough or overcooked.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Ensure the sour cream and eggs are completely combined for a uniform, creamy texture.
- Don't Overcook: Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Use Fresh Eggs: The fresher the eggs, the better the final texture and flavor.
- Quality Sour Cream: Choose full-fat sour cream for maximum richness and creaminess.
- Gentle Folding: Use a soft spatula and fold eggs gently to create soft, delicate curds.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed right after cooking to maintain their perfect texture.
