🍳 How to Cook Scrambled Eggs Perfectly
Perfect scrambled eggs should be soft, creamy, and fluffy—not dry or rubbery. The secret is using gentle heat and stirring slowly.
🥚 Ingredients
- 2–3 eggs
- 1–2 tbsp butter
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Crack and whisk
Crack the eggs into a bowl.
Add a pinch of salt and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
(Optional: add milk or cream for extra softness.)
2️⃣ Heat the pan gently
Place a non-stick pan on low to medium heat and melt the butter slowly.
Low heat is key to preventing dry eggs.
3️⃣ Add the eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
4️⃣ Stir slowly
Use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center.
Keep stirring slowly to create soft curds.
5️⃣ Remove from heat early
When the eggs look slightly soft and glossy, remove the pan from heat. They will continue cooking from residual heat.
🧀 Optional additions
For extra flavor, mix in:
- cheddar cheese
- chopped chives
- diced tomatoes
- sautéed mushrooms
