Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a tall glass and add a pinch of salt (about ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt). Use a fork to whisk the eggs really well until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Set aside. Note: You can leave this for as long as 10 minutes before cooking to maximize how the salt breaks down the egg proteins!
- Place non-stick skillet on the stove, and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet. Melt the butter on medium-low heat.
- Once the butter starts bubbling, add the eggs to the skillet. Use a silicon or wood spatula to swirl the eggs in a gentle, circular motion for at least 30 seconds continuously. You'll see the eggs start to set at this point.
- At this point, swish the spatula from top to bottom to allow the bottom portion of the egg (which is likely runny) to flow into the hot portion of the skillet and start to cook. Do this for 20-30 seconds.
- If using goat cheese, add the goat cheese to the skillet at this point and give it a good mix.
- Take the pan off the heat when the eggs still look a bit runny. This is key! Allow the eggs to sit in the hot pan (off the heat) for 15-20 seconds.
- Garnish with more salt, and/or chopped herbs, fresh black pepper, and serve hot with toast!
Notes
- Use a non stick skillet and silicon spatula. This is really important to make sure your eggs don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Some cast iron pans (when seasoned and well maintained can also be used)
- Whisk the eggs before you add to the pan. Whisking aerates the eggs before you dump them in the skillet. Personal favorite trick? Crack eggs into a tall glass and use a fork to whisk!
- Remove the eggs before they "look" done. This is so critical! Eggs will continue to cook even after you remove the skillet from the heat. So, I typically remove the eggs when they look a tiny bit runny and keep them in the skillet for a few seconds. Perfect, creamy scrambled eggs!
