Here’s a simple, classic scrambled eggs recipe that’s fluffy and delicious:
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional, for creaminess)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (or oil)
- Optional toppings: cheese, herbs (chives, parsley), sautéed vegetables
Instructions
- Crack and whisk
- Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Add milk or cream if using.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add butter and let it melt, coating the pan.
- Cook the eggs
- Pour the eggs into the pan.
- Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.
- Keep stirring occasionally, scraping the bottom, until eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft.
- Finish cooking
- Remove from heat when eggs are slightly underdone—they’ll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve immediately
- Add optional toppings like cheese, herbs, or sautéed veggies.
- Serve warm on toast, with bacon, or on their own.
💡 Tips for fluffier scrambled eggs:
- Use a whisk instead of a fork to incorporate air.
- Cook low and slow; high heat can make them rubbery.
- Adding a little cream or milk makes them creamier.
