Scrambled eggs are a simple and tasty dish made by whisking eggs and cooking them in a pan over low to medium heat. Here’s a basic recipe for making scrambled eggs:
Ingredients:
- 2-4 eggs (depending on serving size)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- Optional: milk or cream (1-2 tablespoons, for creamier eggs)
Instructions:
- Crack the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper (and a splash of milk or cream if you like them extra creamy).
- Whisk: Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is a little frothy.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over low to medium heat. Add the butter or oil and let it melt.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, moving the eggs around the pan.
- Stir Gently: Keep stirring occasionally to cook the eggs evenly, but don’t stir constantly. Once the eggs begin to set, remove them from the heat while they’re still a bit soft—carryover cooking will finish them.
- Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and serve immediately.
Feel free to add toppings or mix-ins like cheese, herbs, or vegetables to customize your scrambled eggs!
