Scrambled eggs seem simple, but achieving the perfect creamy, fluffy texture requires the right technique. Follow these pro tips and foolproof steps, and you’ll never have dry, rubbery eggs again!
π₯ Key Ingredients for the Best Scrambled Eggs
β 4 large eggs (farm-fresh or organic for the best taste!) π₯
β 2 tablespoons whole milk, heavy cream, or half-and-half (for extra creaminess!) π₯
β 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for richness and a silky texture!) π§
β Β½ teaspoon salt (adds depth and enhances flavor!) π§
β ΒΌ teaspoon black pepper (optional, for a little spice!)
β Fresh chives or shredded cheese (optional topping!) πΏπ§
π¨βπ³ Step-by-step instructions for perfect scrambled eggs
1οΈβ£ Crack and whisk like a pro
Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined and slightly foamy.
Add milk, cream, or semi-skimmed milk – this will make the eggs creamier and softer.
Stir in salt and pepper (but don’t overbeat!)
2οΈβ£ Low and high speed Slow cooking is key π₯
Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat. (High heat will result in rubbery eggs!)
Add butter and let it melt slowly – so the pan is evenly coated.
3οΈβ£ Gently stir for soft, creamy eggs
Pour in the eggs and wait a few seconds until the edges just start to set.
Use a silicone spatula to gently stir in slow, sweeping motions.
Lift the eggs and fold them from the edges towards the center to form soft curds.
4οΈβ£ Remove from the heat at the right moment
When the eggs look slightly raw and shiny, remove them from the heat.
The residual heat will continue to cook them until perfectly cooked.
5οΈβ£ Serve immediately and add toppings
For extra flavor, garnish with fresh herbs, cheese, or a drizzle of truffle oil!
Serve warm with toast, avocado, or crispy bacon for the ultimate breakfast!
