Here’s how to make Perfect Scrambled Eggs — soft, creamy, fluffy, and full of flavor. Whether you like them classic diner-style or slow and silky like a chef, I’ll give you both methods below.
🍳 Perfect Scrambled Eggs (Classic Fluffy or Creamy Style)
🕒 Prep Time: 2 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 5–8 minutes
🍽️ Serves: 2
🧂 Ingredients
-
4 large eggs
-
2 tbsp milk, cream, or water (optional, for fluffiness)
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
1 tbsp butter (unsalted)
Optional add-ins:
-
Shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, goat cheese, etc.)
-
Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill)
-
Spinach, tomatoes, sautéed onions, etc.
🔥 METHOD 1: Classic Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
-
Crack & whisk:
-
Crack eggs into a bowl.
-
Add milk, cream, or water (if using), a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.
-
-
Preheat pan:
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
-
Add butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan.
-
-
Cook:
-
Pour in eggs and let them sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds.
-
Use a rubber spatula to gently push eggs from the edges toward the center.
-
Keep folding the eggs slowly, forming soft curds. Avoid over-stirring.
-
-
Finish:
-
Once mostly set but still slightly shiny and moist, remove from heat.
-
They’ll continue to cook from residual heat.
-
Add cheese or herbs now if using, and serve immediately.
-
🍽️ METHOD 2: Chef-Style Creamy Scrambled Eggs
-
Crack & whisk: Same as above (no milk needed — just eggs, salt, pepper).
-
Cook low & slow:
-
Heat butter in a cold nonstick pan over very low heat.
-
Add eggs before the butter even finishes melting.
-
-
Stir constantly:
-
Stir gently and continuously with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom.
-
Cook slowly for 6–8 minutes, or until small, silky curds form.
-
-
Remove early:
-
Take off the heat when eggs are just barely set and still glossy.
-
Finish with a tiny dot of butter or cream for extra richness.

💡 Tips for Scrambled Egg Perfection
-
Low and slow = creamy eggs.
-
High heat = fluffy but risks overcooking.
-
Use a nonstick pan and a silicone spatula for best results.
-
Season at the beginning for even flavor.
-
Don’t overcook! Eggs should be soft and slightly moist — not dry.
