Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Crack and Whisk the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add a small pinch of salt and pepper. Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. This ensures a uniform texture.
For extra creaminess, stir in 2–3 tablespoons of whole milk or heavy cream. This is optional but adds richness and moisture.
Pro Tip: The more you whisk, the fluffier your eggs. Incorporating air at this stage helps create a soft, cloud-like consistency.
Step 2: Heat the Pan (Slowly!)
Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Let it melt slowly, tilting the pan as needed to evenly coat the surface.
The butter should foam gently but not sizzle or brown. If it starts to brown, reduce the heat immediately. High heat is the enemy of soft scrambled eggs.
Step 3: Pour and Pause
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for about 10–15 seconds without stirring. This allows the bottom layer to begin setting.
Once you see the edges just starting to firm up, it’s time to stir.
Step 4: Stir Gently, Stir Constantly
Using a heatproof rubber spatula, begin to gently stir the eggs. Push them from the edges toward the center in slow, sweeping motions. Then tilt the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the hot surface.
Avoid rapid stirring. The goal is to create soft curds, not tiny scrambled bits.
