Classic Creamy Scrambled Eggs
Preparation Method:
- Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the salt and, if using, the milk or cream. Whisk strongly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Ensure that the mixture is a uniform pale yellow with no streaks. Don’t over-whisk to the point of creating a lot of foam, but ensure they are well mixed.
- Heat the Pan: Place the non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan. You want the butter to be melted and shimmering, but not browned.
- Pour in Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the warmed pan. Let it sit for about 15-30 seconds, allow the edges to just begin to set slightly.
- Scramble Gently: Use your rubber or silicone spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges of the pan towards the center, allow the uncooked egg to flow into the empty space. Continue this motion, gently fold and push the eggs, work them around the pan. Avoid constant vigorous stirring; instead, allow them to cook in larger, soft curds.
- Cook to Desired Doneness: Keep cooking, gently folding and stirring, until the eggs are mostly set but still look moist and glossy. They should not be completely dry. Remove them from the heat just before they reach your desired doneness, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat in the pan.
- Season and Serve: Immediately slide the scrambled eggs onto a warm plate. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of chives or parsley.
Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
- Low and Slow: The key to creamy scrambled eggs is low to medium-low heat. High heat will result in dry, rubbery eggs.
- Don’t Overcook: Eggs cook quickly! It’s better to undercook them slightly and let them finish on the plate than to overcook them in the pan.
- Butter is Best: Butter adds flavor and helps with the creamy texture.
- Optional Add-ins: While this is a classic recipe, feel free to add a sprinkle of cheese (cheddar, or goat cheese work well) in the last minute of cooking, or mix in some cooked vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed after they are freshly cooked.
