Perfectly Fluffy Scrambled Eggs: A Breakfast Classic
Start your day on a delicious note with the timeless breakfast favorite
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 butter or cooking oil
- Optional toppings: grated cheese, chopped herbs, diced vegetables, cooked bacon, or smoked salmon
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Use a fork or whisk to gently beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Avoid overmixing.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. You can also use cooking oil if preferred.
- Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle slightly, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
- Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds to begin setting at the bottom.Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the skillet. Allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- Continue gently pushing and folding the eggs until they form soft curds. The goal is to create light, fluffy, and creamy curds.
- Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat.
- Add any optional toppings, such as grated cheese or herbs, to the eggs and gently fold them in.
- Season the scrambled eggs with additional salt and pepper if needed.Serve the scrambled eggs immediately while they're still soft and creamy.
