Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk or cream
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chives, chopped, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1Whisk the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt together in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- 2Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over low heat.
- 3Pour in the eggs and let sit undisturbed for 20 seconds, then begin gently pushing the eggs from the edges to the center with a spatula.
- 4Continue stirring gently and scraping the bottom every 20-30 seconds; remove from heat while the eggs still look slightly underdone — they'll finish cooking from residual heat.
- 5Season with salt and pepper, top with chives, and serve immediately.
Notes & Tips
- Low and slow is the whole secret — high heat is what makes eggs rubbery.
- Take the eggs off the heat a touch earlier than you think; they keep cooking in the pan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I add milk or cream to scrambled eggs?
Milk or cream helps create softer, creamier scrambled eggs, but you can also make them with just eggs and butter.
Can I make scrambled eggs without milk?
Yes. Butter alone creates rich, fluffy scrambled eggs without needing milk or cream.
What's the best pan for scrambled eggs?
A nonstick skillet is the best choice because it prevents sticking and makes gentle stirring easier.
