How to Make Scrambled Eggs
Description
How to Make Scrambled Eggs starts with beating eggs and a bit of milk or water until smooth. Cooking them in a lightly oiled or buttered nonstick skillet over medium to medium-low heat allows the eggs to form soft curds that remain moist. Pulling the eggs gently with a spatula encourages a creamy texture as the cooking proceeds slowly. Removing the pan before they are fully set ensures that the eggs don't dry out. The simple seasoning with salt and pepper enhances the natural egg taste. Adding chopped chives at the end brings a subtle herbal note and a bit of color.
The method focuses on creating a tender, creamy interior with no crunchy edges, ideal for breakfast or brunch. The eggs can be served as-is or alongside toast or other dishes. The gentle cooking technique gives control over the final texture, making it adaptable for personal preferences.
Ingredients
- 3 egg large
- 1 teaspoon milk or plant milk, or water
- extra-virgin olive oil for the pan, or butter
- salt sea salt; freshly ground black pepper
- black pepper sea salt; freshly ground black pepper
- chives optional, for garnish, chopped fresh
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk or water. Whisk until smooth and combined, with no streaks of egg white remaining.
- Brush a small nonstick skillet with olive oil, or melt a little butter in a small nonstick skillet. Bring to medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs, and let them cook for a few seconds without stirring. Pull a rubber spatula across the bottom of the pan to form large, soft curds of scrambled eggs.
- Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds. Scrape the spatula along the bottom and sides of the pan often to form more curds and to prevent any part of the eggs from drying out.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs are mostly set, but a little liquid egg remains. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
