Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for making scrambled eggs that you can whip up quickly:
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons of milk (optional, for creaminess)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Optional: Cheese, herbs (such as chives or parsley), or diced vegetables for added flavor
Instructions:
- Prep Ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk if you’re using it. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Beat the eggs and milk together with a fork or a whisk until the mixture is smooth and has a consistent color.
- Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Allow them to sit undisturbed for just a few seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center. Repeat this motion as they cook, letting the runny parts contact the pan’s surface and cook through.
- For creamy scrambled eggs, avoid over-stirring and let them come together into soft, fluffy curds.
- Add Extras:
- If you’re adding cheese, herbs, or vegetables, sprinkle them on when the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny. This ensures the add-ins warm up and integrate without overcooking the eggs.
- Final Touch:
- Once the eggs are just set but still glossy and slightly loose, remove the pan from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them to perfection.
- Serve:
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate promptly to avoid overcooking. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
