perfect scrambled eggs

Here’s a simple, foolproof way to make perfect scrambled eggs—soft, creamy, and never dry 🍳

Perfect Scrambled Eggs (Restaurant-Style)

Ingredients

• 2–3 large eggs
• 1–2 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
• Salt (to taste)
• Optional: a splash of milk or cream (not required)

Method

1. Crack & whisk
   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk until the whites and yolks are fully combined and slightly frothy.
2. Heat gently
   Place a non-stick pan over low to medium-low heat. Add butter and let it melt slowly—do not brown it.
3. Add eggs
   Pour the eggs into the pan. Let them sit for a few seconds.
4. Slow stir
   Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft folds. Stir slowly, not constantly.
5. Season late
   Add salt just before they finish cooking to avoid watery eggs.
6. Remove early
   Take the pan off heat when the eggs look slightly underdone. Residual heat will finish cooking them.

Pro Tips

• Low heat = creamy eggs
• Don’t over-stir—folding creates soft curds
• No browning = perfect texture
• For extra richness: finish with a tiny knob of butter or grated cheese

Variations

• Fluffy: Add 1 tsp water before whisking
• Creamy: Stir in a spoon of crème fraîche at the end
• Healthy: Use olive oil and add spinach or tomatoes
