For the longest time, my eggs turned out... meh. Either too dry or too runny. Then one day, I slowed things down, changed one or two small steps, and BOOM β fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs that melt in your mouth. π§
Simple ingredients, big difference:
β’ 2 or 3 eggs
β’ A splash of milk or cream (about 1 tbsp per egg)
β’ A pinch of salt
β’ A dab of butter (or oil if you prefer)
β’ Optional: chopped chives, black pepper, cheese
1. Whisk gently but well. Break your eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk/cream and salt, then whisk until the yolks and whites are fully mixed. You want a smooth, pale yellow color.
2. Use low heat. This is key. Place your nonstick pan on the lowest heat and melt your butter slowly. You don't want sizzling sounds β we're going for gentle cooking.
3. Stir non-stop, but slowly. Pour in the eggs and start stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon in slow circles or gentle folds. Don't walk away!
4. Take it off early. Once it looks about 80% cooked (still a little soft and shiny), remove from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking it without drying it out.
5. Optional topping time! Add a touch of pepper, herbs, or even a sprinkle of cheese on top while it's still warm. Yum!
β’ Don't rush. Low and slow is the secret to creamy eggs.
β’ Try using cream cheese or a spoonful of Greek yogurt instead of milk for extra richness.
β’ Cooking for more people? Just use a wider pan and keep stirring to spread the heat evenly.
These eggs have honestly changed my morning mood. I make them at least twice a week β they're fast, cozy, and make me feel like I've got my life together. π
