Simple, classic, and perfect every time 🍳
Here’s how to make soft, fluffy scrambled eggs (plus options if you like them creamy or fully cooked).
Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients (serves 1–2)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for softness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs:
- Crack eggs into a bowl.
- Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Whisk until fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Heat the pan:
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add butter and let it melt without browning.
- Cook gently:
- Pour eggs into the pan.
- Let sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Finish cooking:
- Continue stirring slowly until eggs are just set but still soft and slightly glossy.
- Serve immediately:
- Eggs continue cooking off the heat, so don’t overcook!
Pro Tips
- Low heat = creamy eggs
- Stir slowly for big, fluffy curds
- Remove from heat while slightly underdone
Variations
- Creamy eggs: Add 1 tbsp cream cheese or sour cream at the end
- Cheesy eggs: Stir in shredded cheese right before they’re done
- Fluffy diner-style: Whisk in 1 tbsp water instead of milk
- Loaded: Add cooked bacon, sausage, or veggies
If you want, I can give you Gordon Ramsay–style creamy eggs, microwave scrambled eggs, or breakfast burrito eggs next 😄
