Perfectly Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast dish that’s not only nutritious but also incredibly versatile and quick to make. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to achieve the perfect fluffiness and taste every single time.

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons of milk or cream (optional for extra fluffiness)
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions:

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl.
2. Add the milk or cream if you’re using it. This step is optional but can help make your scrambled eggs extra fluffy.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture has a uniform color.
5. Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Let it heat until the butter is melted and just starts to bubble, or the oil shimmers.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Wait for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.
7. With a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Pause to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
8. Continue this process, pushing the eggs around in the pan and pausing as needed. The key is to cook them slowly and gently. If they’re cooking too fast, lower the heat.
9. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in places, remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
10. Serve immediately on a warm plate with your favorite sides and toast.

Tips:

• For creamier scrambled eggs, consider adding a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream before you start cooking.
• Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
• Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be removed from the heat when they look slightly underdone for the creamiest texture.
• Add cheese, herbs, or chopped veggies to your eggs for an extra flavor boost.

Remember, great scrambled eggs are about technique as much as they are about the recipe. With a little practice, you’ll be making mouth-watering scrambled eggs that are soft, creamy, and satisfying any day of the week.
