The Best Scrambled Eggs Recipe
This recipe yields scrambled eggs cooked gently in butter with milk and seasoned lightly with salt. The eggs are stirred slowly over low heat to create soft, tender curds with a creamy texture. Optional garnishes like chives and freshly ground black pepper can add brightness and subtle contrasting flavors. Cooking the eggs carefully ensures they remain moist rather than dry or overcooked.

- 4 egg large
- 2 Tbsp milk any kind
- 1/8 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 1 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 tsp chives finely chopped for garnish, optional
- black pepper to serve, optional, freshly ground

- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium/low heat. Melt in butter. Once butter is foaming, add well-beaten eggs. Let eggs sit for a moment until you see them starting to cook at the edges and bottom.
- Use a silicone spatula to pull the cooked eggs toward the middle, letting the liquid eggs take the place of the cooked eggs and working around the skillet as you go.
