Scrambled eggs are one of the simplest and most versatile breakfast dishes—soft, creamy, and ready in just a few minutes. The key is low heat and gentle stirring for maximum fluffiness. 🥚
🍳 Classic Scrambled Eggs
🛒 Ingredients (per 2 servings)
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional for creamier eggs)
- Salt & black pepper
- 1–2 tsp butter or oil
🔪 Method
1. Beat the eggs
- Crack eggs into a bowl
- Add milk (optional), salt, and pepper

2. Heat the pan
- Use a non-stick pan on low to medium-low heat

3. Cook gently
- Pour eggs into the pan
- Let sit for a few seconds until edges start to set
- Stir slowly and continuously with a spatula, pushing from edges to center
4. Finish cooking
- Remove from heat just before fully set—residual heat continues cooking
- Eggs should be soft, creamy, and slightly glossy
🌟 Tips for perfect scrambled eggs
