Crack and beat the eggs: Start by whisking the eggs in a bowl. Add a little bit of salt and, if you want to make it creamier, add a bit of milk or cream. You can put milk in the eggs to make them creamier, but you don’t have to. Use a fork to mix the egg yolk and white well. You don’t need to work hard here; just mix all the ingredients together.
Heat up your non-stick frying pan on medium-low heat. Put around half a spoonful of butter in the pan. Use a small amount of butter to cover the bottom of the pan. Allow it to fully melt, but avoid letting it become brown.
Make the eggs: Put the whisked eggs in the pan. Let them stay apart for around twenty seconds without touching. Afterwards, use a spatula to move the eggs from the edges to the middle of the pan. Continue to mix the eggs like this, let them rest briefly, and stir them gently until they are nearly cooked but still a bit soft. This will take around 2-3 minutes.
Finish cooking: When the eggs are almost ready, take the pan off the stove. The remaining heat will continue cooking the eggs, giving you the softest and creamiest scrambled eggs.
Useful Advice
Cook the eggs slowly over low to medium heat. It might need more time, but it stops the eggs from becoming tough and overcooked.
Butter tastes better than oil. If you are trying to consume less dairy, using oil is also a good option.
Keep the eggs moving constantly to avoid uneven cooking and maintain their creamy texture.
Tips and Tricks
Extras: Scrambled eggs can be a bit simple, so you might want to add something to enhance them. Cheese, herbs, cooked bacon, or sautéed vegetables are great options. However, put them in during the final minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking.
It’s best to add seasoning to the eggs near the end of cooking. Salt absorbs moisture, and if you add it at the wrong moment, it can make the eggs soggy.
Rest the eggs for a short time after cooking. This helps them solidify while staying soft and creamy.
Tips for Choosing Outfits
Cheese: Add some cheese to the eggs a minute before they are completely cooked (you can use cheddar, feta, or goat cheese).
Herbs: Add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill as decoration. They will not just make it look better, but also make it taste better. Put these on top right before serving.
Avocado: Adding avocado to scrambled eggs makes them creamy and gives them a touch of sophistication.
Spices like paprika, cumin, or hot sauce can make your eggs taste even better.
