• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp butter

Necessary Tools

Step-by-Step: How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Step 1: Crack and Whisk

Crack eggs into a bowl. Whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. This adds air for fluffier eggs.

Tip: Season lightly with salt now or right after cooking—both work.

Step 2: Heat the Pan Gently

Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add butter and let it melt slowly without browning.

Low heat is the secret. Rushing = dry eggs.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

Pour eggs into the pan once the butter is melted and just beginning to foam.

Step 4: Stir Slowly and Gently

Let the eggs sit for a few seconds, then gently push them from the edges toward the center using a spatula. Keep stirring slowly—don’t scramble aggressively.

Step 5: Remove Early

Take the pan off the heat while the eggs still look slightly wet. Residual heat will finish cooking them.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Season with pepper, add cheese or herbs if using, and serve immediately.

What to Serve with Scrambled Eggs

Perfect scrambled eggs pair beautifully with:

• Buttered toast
• Avocado slices
• Breakfast potatoes
• Bacon or sausage
• Fresh fruit

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Cooking on high heat
• Leaving eggs unattended
• Over-stirring
• Over-seasoning early
• Letting eggs sit too long before serving

Storage Instructions

Scrambled eggs are best fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently on low heat or in short microwave bursts.
