Perfect scrambled eggs –There’s nothing quite like the comfort of a perfectly scrambled egg. It’s a simple dish that can be dressed up or down, depending on your mood. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast or a light lunch, scrambled eggs are a versatile choice. Today, I’m excited to share my favorite way to make these delightful eggs that are creamy, fluffy, and utterly delicious!
Perfect Scrambled Eggs
To start, let’s take a look at what you’ll need for this recipe. Having fresh ingredients on hand makes all the difference!
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons of milk or cream
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely blended and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt slowly, coating the pan evenly. You want to ensure the butter doesn’t brown.
- Once the butter is melted and just starting to bubble, pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for a few seconds until it begins to set on the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs. Push the eggs from the edges toward the center. The trick is to be gentle here; you want soft, creamy curds rather than a hard scramble.
- As the eggs begin to come together but still look slightly runny, remove the skillet from the heat. Remember, the eggs will continue to cook from residual heat, so pulling them off at this stage keeps them creamy.
- If desired, fold in fresh herbs for a burst of flavor and serve immediately.
These scramble eggs are perfect on their own or served with toast, avocado, or even a slice of bacon for a more filling breakfast. Enjoy your meal!
