A classic — simple, quick, and satisfying! 🥚🍞
Here’s how to make perfect scrambled eggs on toast — soft, creamy, and full of flavor.
🧑🍳 Scrambled Eggs on Toast
Ingredients (serves 1–2)
-
3–4 eggs
-
1 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
-
1–2 tbsp milk, cream, or crème fraîche (optional, for creaminess)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
2 slices good-quality bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)
-
Optional toppings: chopped chives, grated cheese, smoked salmon, or crispy bacon
🍳 Instructions
-
Toast the bread
-
Toast your slices until golden brown.
-
You can butter them lightly if you like.
-
-
Beat the eggs
-
Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk or cream (if using), a pinch of salt, and whisk until smooth.
-
-
Cook gently
-
Heat butter in a nonstick pan over low to medium-low heat.
-
Pour in the eggs.
-
Use a spatula to gently stir, scraping from the edges to the center as curds form.
-
Keep the heat low — slow cooking makes them creamy, not dry.
-
When the eggs are mostly set but still glossy and slightly runny, remove from the heat (they’ll finish cooking off the heat).
-
-
Season and serve
-
Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
-
Spoon the eggs onto the toast.
-
Garnish with herbs, cheese, or your favorite topping.
-
💡 Tips
-
For extra creamy eggs: stir in a teaspoon of butter or crème fraîche right before serving.
-
For fluffy eggs: skip milk/cream and whisk vigorously to incorporate air before cooking.
-
Don’t overcook — they go from perfect to rubbery fast!
