Ingredients
  

Scrambled Eggs
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1-2 tbsp cream or milk optional
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper freshly cracked
  • fresh herbs for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
  3. Pour in eggs and let them sit undisturbed for 5–10 seconds.
  4. Use a silicone spatula to gently sweep around the pan, forming soft curds.
  5. Alternate between stirring and letting the eggs rest for a few seconds.
  6. Remove from heat when the eggs look slightly glossy and undercooked.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra creaminess, fold in a teaspoon of butter right before serving.
