Description
A quick and comforting recipe for perfectly fluffy and creamy scrambled eggs made with fresh eggs, butter, and simple seasonings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large fresh eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional)
- Fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or dill (optional)
- Shredded cheese like cheddar, feta, or goat cheese (optional)
- Sautéed vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers (optional)
- Olive oil or coconut oil (optional)
- Fresh basil or tarragon (optional)
- Chili flakes or minced jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
- Start by cracking your eggs into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to beat them until the whites and yolks blend into a uniform yellow mixture.
- Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add butter. Let it melt slowly so it coats the pan evenly.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the buttery pan. With a silicone spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs constantly.
- As the eggs begin to thicken but remain slightly runny, season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat just before they look completely cooked.
Notes
- Use low heat to cook eggs gently.
- Experiment with different add-ins for variety.
- Remove from heat before fully cooked to ensure creaminess.
