Scrambled Eggs (Printable Format)
Classic creamy scrambled eggs, perfectly fluffy and ready in minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Eggs
01 - 4 large eggs
→ Dairy
02 - 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
→ Seasonings
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# How-To Steps:
01 - Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Pour in milk or cream, then add salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until thoroughly blended and slightly frothy.
02 - Place unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet and set over medium-low heat. Allow butter to melt completely and begin gently bubbling.
03 - Pour whisked egg mixture into the prepared skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for several seconds until the outer edges start to set.
04 - Slide a spatula along the edges, gently pushing cooked portions toward the center while tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
05 - Continue cooking with gentle, occasional stirring until eggs are just set but remain moist and creamy. Immediately remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
06 - Transfer scrambled eggs to warm plates and serve immediately while still creamy.
