Here’s how to make perfect scrambled eggs — soft, creamy, and flavorful every time.
🥚 Perfect Scrambled Eggs (Creamy & Soft)
🧺 Ingredients (for 2 servings)
-
4 large eggs
-
2 tbsp whole milk or cream (optional, for creaminess)
-
Salt, to taste
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
1 tbsp butter
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Crack and Whisk
-
Crack the eggs into a bowl.
-
Add milk or cream (optional), a pinch of salt, and pepper.
-
Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy — this incorporates air for fluffier eggs.
2. Heat the Pan
-
Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
-
Add the butter and let it melt gently without browning.
3. Cook the Eggs
-
Pour the eggs into the pan.
-
Let them sit for a few seconds without stirring, until they just begin to set at the edges.
4. Stir Gently
-
Using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds.
-
Continue slow, gentle stirring — remove the pan from heat occasionally to avoid overcooking.
5. Stop Early
-
When the eggs are mostly set but still a little glossy and slightly runny, remove them from the heat.
-
Residual heat will finish cooking them.
6. Finish & Serve
-
Taste and adjust salt/pepper.
-
Optional: add a small knob of cold butter at the end for extra richness.
-
Serve immediately on toast, with herbs, cheese, or smoked salmon.
🧠 Tips for Perfect Eggs
-
Low and slow is key — high heat = rubbery eggs.
-
Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
-
Don’t over-season early — salt draws out moisture if added too soon.
