Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 2–3

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter 🧈
  • 2–3 tbsp whole milk or cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Salt and pepper , to taste
  • Optional Add-Ins : Grated cheese, chopped herbs (chives, parsley), or sautéed veggies

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crack & Whisk

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of milk or cream if desired—it adds richness and softness.
  2. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is uniform in color. Season lightly with salt and pepper (go easy on the salt, as it can draw out moisture).

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  1. Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat . Avoid high heat, as it can cook the eggs too quickly and make them rubbery.
  2. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt slowly, coating the bottom evenly.

Step 3: Cook Low & Slow

  1. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
  2. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in sweeping motions, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges and repeat.

Step 4: Keep It Moist

  1. Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny—they’ll continue to cook from residual heat. Overcooking is the enemy of creamy scrambled eggs!
  2. Stir gently until the eggs reach your desired consistency.

Step 5: Finish & Serve

  1. If adding cheese or herbs, fold them in at the very end for a burst of flavor.
  2. Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or fresh herbs for garnish.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Low & Slow Cooking : Prevents the eggs from becoming tough or dry.
  • Butter Magic : Adds richness and prevents sticking.
  • Residual Heat : Removing the pan early ensures perfectly creamy eggs.
