Take note
Remember to handle eggs with care and always practice proper food safety. Be cautious of hot surfaces and use oven mitts when necessary.

1

Prepping the Eggs

Crack the desired number of eggs into a bowl. Use 2 to 3 eggs per person for a hearty serving of scrambled eggs. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Add a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess.

2

Whisking to Perfection

Grab a whisk and vigorously beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined and you have a smooth mixture. This step helps incorporate air into the eggs, resulting in fluffier scrambled eggs.

3

Heating the Pan

Place a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil. Allow the butter to melt or the oil to heat up, ensuring the surface is evenly coated. You don't want your eggs sticking to the pan!

4

Cooking the Eggs

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges. Gently push the cooked edges towards the center using a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny. Don't overcook them; remember that they'll continue to cook off the heat.

5

Finishing Touches

Remove the pan from the heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs to perfection. Be sure to leave them slightly undercooked, as they will continue to cook even after being plated. Give them a final sprinkle of salt and pepper, and if desired, garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor and presentation.
