How to Cook Scrambled Eggs Perfectly Every Time

Scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple that can be made perfectly with just a few simple steps. Follow this guide for soft, creamy, and delicious scrambled eggs every time!

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk, cream, or water (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon butter (or oil, for cooking)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Crack and Whisk the Eggs

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl.
2. Add milk, cream, or water if desired, which adds creaminess and lightens the eggs.
3. Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. The mixture should be slightly frothy.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
2. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly. Avoid browning the butter.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

1. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
2. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
3. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan. Tilt the pan slightly to allow the uncooked eggs to flow into the cleared space.
