Scrambled Eggs Recipe

American · Breakfast · 5 min total

Fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs are a breakfast classic. This recipe yields soft, tender curds with a rich buttery flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined and mixture is frothy.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl to coat the pan.
3. Pour egg mixture into the skillet. Let set for about 10 seconds, then begin stirring gently with a rubber spatula, pushing eggs from edges toward center.
4. Continue stirring slowly and constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan, until eggs form soft, fluffy curds and are just set but still moist (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
5. Serve right away, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese.

Tips

• For extra creamy eggs, use a low heat and stir constantly.
• Avoid overcooking; eggs will continue to cook from residual heat.
• Serve with toast, bacon, or fresh fruit.
